So, this week there isn't a lot of time, or a lot to share! It was just a typical week. Lots of people cancelled on us this week...so it was a little bit slower and harder! However, there are some great things going on.
This week in the work we just randomly met this man on the train who we started talking to. He ended up being really friendly, and was very impressed that we are here changing people's lives. He walked us around the HDB's, helping us find where we needed to go. He said that he would be fine to meet up, and when we met him, he was very nice. He said he can meet us frequently, and that he wants to hear about God. He can come to church every Sunday if he desires, and he is willing to do the things we ask. It's always a big miracle when you meet someone who is willing to make time for you - meaning for God. I feel so blessed that Heavenly Father gives us so many miracles when we simply ask for them and are worthy to receive them. Sister Reach felt really strongly as we taught him that he was going to be baptized! Sister Reach is amazing.
Besides that, we have our part member daughter almost ready for baptism, the date is literally the only thing keeping her from being baptized! We need to work really closely with the family to pick a date and not push it off. Her father wants to be there, but he is so busy with work that he said they should baptize her in March or maybe even April. Pushing it off gives Satan too much time to do his work! We need another miracle to get the 28th of February to be a perfect day for her.
To conclude my letter to you, this is what I feel I've been learning, and how I've been changing to become more like Christ. I'm learning to trust in God and rely on the Atonement. Trials come because they are the only way to be converted, but God promises us He'll never leave us alone during our trials, in fact, He carries us through them. Sometimes, we just need to look back before we realize that the trial was exactly what we needed.
This work is perfect, and it's wonderful that God makes up the difference for our imperfections.
Love you all! Have a great week!!
Love,
Sister Crabb

| So, I'm exhausted in this picture, but this is a century egg!! It's basically an egg doused in horse urine. Disgusting. And, I ate it! We googled century eggs and the horse urine is a myth or misconception: In Thai and Lao, the common word for this type of preserved egg literally means "horse urine eggs" - According to a persistent misconception, century eggs are or were once prepared by soaking eggs in horse urine. The myth may have arisen from the pungent odor of ammonia (a side-product of protein breakdown) given off by century eggs, which is reminiscent of urine.[7] However, this explanation is unfounded. |
