This week has been a very good week. We taught Angus the rest of the commandments and he agreed to meet with us 2 times a week. He is ready to be baptized on the 27th of January. He is super golden. 

Vanessa is also super golden! We reviewed the plan of salvation with her mixed with a bit of temple work and eternal families and she really wants her family to accept the gospel. So we are trying to work with her to meet her family but not in an awkward or forceful way. I am super excited for her! 

This week I was also able to go on exchanges with Elder Siddoway over in his area (Tai Wai) and it was super fun. We taught a few lessons and went to english class. But it was honestly such a good time to go do missionary work with him. It felt pretty relaxing and it made the work really fun as well. 

Also another cool story of the week, I got a huge boil on the underside of my arm. I popped it every morning and night for like 4 or 5 days and squeezed so much gross puss out of it. 

And the reason I put a quote from the Great Gatsby on my email is because sometimes people get too caught up in mistakes or other things that they have made in the past. That sometimes they might think they are destined for failing or falling short. But it super cool that how this Gospel can help us be filled with potential. And yes, we might fall short a few times, but it is super cool how we can always be lifted up again by the Lord and always be given a clean start. 

That is all.
