Not a crazy week or anything so I'll try to keep it brief. I had a chinese lesson last week a couple days after my year mark, and it was super cool looking back how just a year ago I couldn't piece together a sentence, it's cool to see how much I've improved and I have definitely got a long way to go still.
Something super cool was when we were playing tennis in the morning, this little 5 year old prodigy walked on the court with his dad and started ripping balls, I was shook. He is definitely going pro, ima get his autograph if I have the chance.
One amazing experience was with someone we are teaching named Alfie. He always has super deep questions he asks us when we teach him, so it makes for interesting lessons. Walking into the lesson we were going to teach about the tree of life (what he read in the BOM prior to our lesson) and tie that into the gospel of Jesus Christ. I remember us saying a prayer at the beginning of the lesson and right then knowing that was not what we should teach, and that the plan of salvation would benefit him more. I was thinking about it as Elder Phelon opened up into the lesson and I turned to 1 Peter 4:6 as just a stab in the dark. Later in the lesson he asked a question along the lines of why do people die on earth without getting a chance to hear the gospel? And I was able to transition that scripture in very smoothly and to also lead into what I felt prompted we should teach. He opened up to us about how a friend of his had passed away recently and I know that he really needed to hear that. Really grateful for experiences like these and for the opportunity to have the guidance I need to help people out. It really is a message of true happiness.
