if it's true... (Week 60, Rwibina, Cardiff, Wales, Elder Yim)

hey everyone! it’s been another great week out here filled with miracles and tender mercies left and right! our teaching pool has a ton of potential and it keeps growing, this week will be super exciting to see how stuff starts to roll out!
a few cool miracles we had this past week
while I was talking to people with elder Haynes on exchange in his area, we felt like we should go down a certain street. we did so and after having a long conversation with someone which included a less active member coming up to us, we turned around and ran into their investigator who was planning on bailing on their set appointment which was scheduled for an hour later. we sat down with him and got to teach him and resolve some of his concerns and it was just so cool how many factors led us to be in that spot at that time
later with elder Haynes we were heading back to our flat in our area and we were trying to decide to either go visit one more person or go back for dinner. we both decided to go visit a family who formerly investigated the church. when we knocked on the door we actually got let right in. they are from Iran and are Christians, and have been reading from the Book of Mormon a lot lately. Even though they haven’t met with missionaries in over a year they still find peace through reading it, and we are so hyped to see them this week!!

this week also included whiteboard finding in city centre, going back to Wylde green for MLC (missionary leadership council) where we were trained to use FACEBOOK, lots of visiting people, Pxxaul Pxxace and Sxxtephen Wxxood (2 less actives we are working with) miraculously coming to church, and more! and this morning to start off pday we went on a sheep hunt so we could get a “lost sheep” picture, let’s just say sheep run fast so maybe next time, we still got some sick pictures though!

a lot of you probably saw my post on Facebook last week, after MLC it was decided that we are not allowed to be friends with family or friends from back home for the foreseeable future, it might change in the future but I don’t know, so I just made a new account for missionary purposes only, please don’t add my new account, only try to reach me over this email :) I’ll let you all know if anything changes!

the last few weeks we have seen so many people bash the Book of Mormon to us. one lady let us in and started telling us how it was the work of the devil. the point is, many people verbally tore apart the Book of Mormon this week, more so than ever before in my life. it is so important to gain our own testimonies of the Book of Mormon. And why? Because if the Book of Mormon is true, then Jesus Christ truly did atone for all of our sins, if it’s true Joseph Smith really did see God and Jesus Christ, if it’s true then we really do have a living prophet on the earth, if it’s true then we do have real authority from god to act in his name, and all our other beliefs are rightfully true. If it is false then our beliefs go out the window. All you have to figure out for yourself is if the Book is true. No amount of false doctrine you read on the internet will ever be enough to disprove this book. This book is truly another testament of Jesus Christ. It references the Saviour more times than any other book. And I know that it is true, with all my heart, it has continuously brought me closer to my Heavenly Father and my Saviour. I invite you all, with every ounce of my heart, to find out if it is true by reading it for yourself and praying to god, asking him if it is true. you can request a copy on Mormon.org  

I miss all of you so much, hit me up with some emails! this is the last week of the transfer and you know your boy DV is gonna go out with a bang in Cardiff! I love you homies! Go help someone in need!
