P-Days are fun as a Chinatown missionary. The zone likes to have fun together, and that is exactly what we do. Today on the docket is a barbecue at the East River Park, with frisbee and kebabs, with perhaps a little grilled pineapple on the side. That is, however, if it doesn't rain us out. There are supposed to be thunderstorms today. As good missionaries, however, we have a back up plan of stir fry at the Blairs' with some broiled pineapple skewers. That still sounds pretty delicious to me.
My lack of letter last week (that has been happening way too often) is due to us going to the temple. It was a great experience, as always, and gave me the spiritual boost I needed for the rest of the week. Some weeks are harder than others, and this was one of them.
Luckily I have an inspired mission president who shared D&C 123:17 with me in our last conversation, and an inspired mother who provided me with a wonderful Elaine S. Dalton quote at the beginning of my mission. These two things, along with some fervent prayer and study of the rest of D&C 121-123 have been crucial in helping me through difficult times in the past month. Growing is difficult. It has to be, or else we wouldn't learn anything from it.
Big changes are coming to Chinatown, including two of our native sisters leaving to go to Temple Square for a couple of transfers. Who knew they could do that? I didn't, for sure, and it totally threw off everything that I thought would happen this next transfer! I guess we'll find out on Saturday for sure what's up.
Also, a BIG congratulations to Sister Toronto who will be joining us in Chinatown later this year! I heard about the call from Sister MacKay, who knows the Toronto family. It will be fun to see someone I know from school in the mission, and I know Sister Toronto will be an excellent addition to the Chinatown Zone.
I love all of you, and I hope that you are having a wonderful week! Stay cool for summer - New York is heating up fast!
Love,
Sister Beer
