I don't know if this is good or not, but I'm going to be completely honest with you. This week has been rough. I was having a hard time understanding why I was still in his area, and what God's purpose is for me to be serving here with Sister Shiobara.
On Friday we met with Shabana Sahir again. She is amazing! We taught her about the plan of salvation. Shabana is literally one of the most humble people I have ever met. She is trying to follow Jesus Christ and do what Heavenly Father wants her to do. We invited her to be baptized on August 30th and she is now preparing herself for that. It's only 2 days before the next transfer starts, so we're working really closely with her to make sure that she's prepared. I know if I weren't here, some other missionary would have called her, and taught her.. But I'm grateful that I got to be a part of bringing Shabana to the fold of God.
I don't think Shabana is necessarily the reason I am serving here in Richmond Hill. But I do know that God's plan for my mission (and life) is much greater than anything I could come up with on my own. So, I'm going to continue to trust in Him and go with it.
This point in my mission feels similar to the third quarter in a water polo game. You know? When you're super tired but you can go from losing to winning in 7 minutes, and your adrenaline gets going.
So yes, I'm super tired. But I am really excited to be here in NYC preaching the gospel to people. I love my mission and as much as I wouldn't want to live in NY.. I have grown to love this place.
I love being a missionary. I love the Gospel. I love Popsicles.
