When this language or studying gets hard, read Ether 12:27. Read it as Heavenly Father speaking to you. I have to remember this isn't about learning a language, it's a fight for souls. I'm fighting to bring souls to the kingdom of God so that they may have that knowledge and opportunity to receive the blessings in store for us all. When I realize this perspective, my entire heart changes, I align myself with God's will and that is when the gift of tongues comes in.
Chinese will be a tool for me to invite my brothers and sisters.
Serving a mission is already the hardest thing I've ever done, and I'm just getting started! But Heavenly Father knows how He wants to use me. He is putting heat and pressure to form me into the tool he needs me to be, to achieve our goal in
bringing our whole family home!
Thank you all for your prayers. Thank you for support through letters and emails. Thank you for being there for me. I will probably be totally different tomorrow and next week, but I want to be. If I have taken one step closer to being closer to Christ today, then it has been a great day! I love hearing about your daily life. I hope you don't mind reading these long passages of my thoughts.
I love Jesus Christ and love you all! Sima Jiemei (Sister Smith)
