Hello everyone!
This week was pretty crazy, but also very good! Elder Liu and I both have no clue what we’re doing, but we just do our best to rely on the Lord and good things happen. Monday was insanity, because we were stuck in Kalamazoo (the HQ of the zone) with a bunch of other missionaries, waiting for supplies all day long. The Assistants finally showed up at about 7:30 pm, and they had forgotten the supplies we needed… So we have been going without planners and restoration pamphlets all week, and will finally get the supplies on Wednesday.
While we were waiting for the leaders to show up, we did end up going into a guitar center, and I learned that I have already forgotten how to play the guitar and dj. The missionary veil is real after all.
The man who chased Elder Yadon and I last week found Elder Liu and I in wal-mart, and came walking up to us. I was worried, thinking he was looking for more trouble, but as it turns out, he walked up to us to sincerely apologize for his behavior, and said that it wasn’t him, but demons inside him and he had lost control of himself. He ended up giving me a hug, asked me to apologize to Elder Yadon as well, and left. We had another experience with a man possessed by a devil while door knocking this week. Satan does not like us missionaries. He is trying to discourage us, or scare us off, or make us do things we will regret (such as bible bashing, arguing, fighting, yelling, or sinning in any other way.) But we will stand firm and steadfast in Christ, and continue to accomplish God’s work in bringing his sheep back to the fold.
Elder Liu is very weird. He has lived in a bunch of different states, and Australia, and has a lot of siblings. 12 of them. Moving so much, he was home-schooled. He has trouble getting up in the mornings so I have to shake his mattress and rip his sheets from him sometimes. haha. He is a very humble, down to earth, intelligent, and obedient missionary and I’m glad to be serving with him.
Have a good week all, and know that I love you and God loves you!
Elder Breinholt
