Xin Chào!! Có khoẻ không?? 


Woo-hoo! 


I đid indeed cut my hair and you can surely see my name tag without a doubt now! 


What I love about this is that people really can see Christ's name and what I represent sooner and faster! I love it!!! 


Because I got to go to the city this week for the mission tour we got to take the subways! (I miss my city) but one guy saw my name tag and asked me all about it! And asked even about the tiếng Việt! We got to testify about the book of mormon too! Grand! 


Also.... 


JOSEPH GOT BAPTIZED!!!!!! Woo-hoo!! This guy! Had missionaries knocking on his door for years and always rejected them. But because of Covid he accepted a call from missionaries over Facebook. He said that he was searching for where he belonged and that "he never felt more at home" after he got confirmed. Sooo cool!! God is grand! 


Friends!! 


When we are baptized we make that promise to take Christ's name upon us. 


We don't need a name tag for that! Keep shining Christ's light that flows through you!! 


We will face opposition always! In fact "great is the multitude" that is against us. But we heed them NOT! 


Look at Joseph. He said no a lot of times to the missionaries, but he ended up being baptized, and receiving the gift of the holy ghost. No effort is wasted!! 


Keep moving onward and upward!! 


Woo-hoo!!! 


And carry on, carry on, carry on!!! 


Love,

Chị Skinner

  Happy Tuesday morning!! ☀️☀️ it’s a lovely day so far:) Ok! So here’s an experience I have been feeling like I want to share with you all: Maybe a week ago? Ish? I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive. So if there’s any noise going on it can completely overwhelm me with anxious thoughts.  I start...
