大家都B拜拜ing🍡
8/19/24

Pronounced dajia dou be baibai- ing or in other words everybody is Baibaing which means worshiping!!


This lunar month is the climax of baibai-ing and they have a lot of taboos so it's been crazy how many people we see baibai-ing! Also very very cool! Yesterday we were going out and we saw someone and they told us that today they were going to baibai and we were like oh cool! And then we walked out and there was tables and tables of food and fake money and it was crazy!! He really was going to baibai😎 Haha I don't know how to make that make sense so sorry if it doesn't make sense🤔


Another sad thing this week was it was my last sports night so I had to say bye to my best basketball friend An-Dog!! I seriously love her. She's still meeting with the yong yi elders so pray for her!


This week we had some really good lessons! We also had the chance to go to 3 different night markets! On saturday we went to a night market to visit a bujiji less active member and it was definitely an adventure! She convinced us to buy cow stomach and while we were there we also ran into another bujiji and met a super cool lady who said she would come to church!


But the super cool thing was that on Saturday morning I felt so tired and so discouraged and had no idea how we were going to survive haha but while we were riding our bikes I just prayed that my mindset would change and then we had such a fun time finding so I guess the moral of the story is that even when you don't know how to keep going you can really trust the lord, keep acting, and miracles will follow! Even though that is so hard sometimes I know it's true!


Anyway I'm sorry this email doesn't make a lot of sense... but I LOVE YOU ALL!!! If I haven't responded to you I am so so sorry!!

  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...
