你好大家！你地好？母親節快樂 !

Hello everyone! How are y'all? Happy Mother's day to all the moms! 😊

Motherhood is the highest and holiest calling in the world! We salute you! Thank you po! 💜

Uhmm, I think one of the highlights from last week was visiting this member who's unable to come to church anymore cos of her health problems. She's like 50+ years old but she looks older than that. She can't move her body, just her eyes and her mouth barely. It's so sad to see her situation but having the knowledge of this Gospel helps us be more hopeful that when Resurrection comes, "all things shall be restored to their proper and perfect frame" (Alma 11:43-44). We visited her and the Priesthood holders administered the Sacrament to her... This was a very powerful and spiritual experience for me. I know that every member needs the spiritual blessings that come from partaking of the Sacrament and so we should strive to come every Sunday, partake of the Sacrament, and renew our baptismal covenants.

Another highlight of my week was when we were doing this "windows finding" (not in a street contact method but calling our less-active members). We found out that in one of our branches that we handle, we have 260+ YSA less-active members. IT'S A LOT! And this doesn't include other less-active members from other branches... 😟 Imagine if these people are all reactivated? Aside from having a stake here, they can even build a Temple here in Macau!.. and so with this realization, we really need the help of our members. Missionaries come and go but members stay. We need to work together. And so, if you're reading my email, please please please, help the missionaries in any way possible 😊 Member missionary work is really important! The time is nigh and we should do this work together.

As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we are all unique! I am grateful for this Gospel. We should continue to stand out and strive to do what's right. I know that He loves us and He hears and answers our prayers. Don't give up! Have faith and trust in Him. Our faith should be bigger than our fear 😊 I love being a missionary!
