This week has been a fantastic one. That seems to be the trend. While it was not our biggest week for
teaching lessons it was definitely one heavy with service hours. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday my companion
and I spent most of our days helping to translate English to Hmong and Hmong to
English at a free dental care clinic.
The clinic was an experience! I have been working at this language for
three months now and it was a fun stretch of my abilities to talk to people
about their medical history and dental procedures. My companion, Elder Ballard, did help me a
lot. It was really pretty incredible to
see this clinic. There were several
hundred dentists on the floor of an enormous convention center doing everything
from routine cleanings to pulling wisdom teeth for no charge. We had people come from over three hundred
miles to get this free service. It was
an incredible community event.
The only downside of that was that I missed most of General
Conference on Saturday (Mission President approved, no worries). I may not have raised my hand with the rest
of the Church to sustain the three new Apostles, Elders Ronald A. Rasband, Gary
E. Stevenson, and Dale G. Renlund, but I do know that they have been called of
God to fulfill this sacred calling.
They're charge is just as the original twelve, to "teach all
nations, baptizing in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost" (Matthew 28:19).
God really does speak today.
I find that fact miraculous.
This next week is looking to be a great one. I love you all. Have a great day!
