So this week was interesting to say none the
less. So this whole week I was super excited to go to Mongolia the following
Monday. Throughout the week is been packing my bags and getting them ready to
go. I got all my stuff packed and sent some stuff home. Super stoked! So yesterday night (Sunday)
the departing Missionaries met at the
mission presidents house and had a steak dinner, it was super good. All the
visa waiters who are leaving got thrown in with the departing missionaries. But
when we got there elder Udall and I weighted our bags, and president came out
and told us to come inside and talk with him. Go inside the house and he sits
down and talks with us and said that our visas still hadn't come in, and that the
travel office thinks it'll be another week before they will come in. So right
now it's predicted to come in by March 3rd. So I'll leave on March
3rd probably. But past that the week went by pretty smoothly. One thing
I'd like to touch on is how
powerful the gospel is when it comes to changing people's lives. We have this
investigator who's on date for the 18th of March. Before we were teaching
her she had been smoking since she was 8, now she's 65. So we've been teaching
her and now she hasn't smoking in over 40 days. That knowledge of the gospel is
powerful enough to change people for the rest of their lives. It's amazing to
see the growth in her life as she becomes a different person through the
gospel. It's strengthened my testimony of the power of the atonement by seeing
the change in her life.
