Believest thou that there is a God?

Hello!! Family!
first off...dont worry about it abbey girl. You are the prettiest looking person I've ever seen in a picture with fries. I still can't get over how gorgeous you are! here they would say waaa....aiya! I don't know haha. go for the trampoline. those are the best nights. And danny, I wish I could hear you! I'm sure you sound amazing! And just send Jack to New York with Tommy. He'll help out for sure with all the unpacking help. No - DC is a beautiful city. And there'll be cherry blossoms! can't beat it.

This week was great! made some new friends :) And lots of them are ready to learn more about the gospel, so that's happy. One was named Ngh Jimuih. She is such a nice woman. She recently went through a bad divorce. She was in very abusive marriage, and has some physical impairments because of it. But one day she was thinking about God and thought maybe she should try finding a church one of these days. And then apparently we walked up seconds later and invited her! So she was pretty convinced God was guiding her, and we were more than happy to share our opinion. We taught her who God was and who Jesus Christ was, and what prayer was. She said she had seen it on tv before but didn't really know much about it. This tends to be a common situation. I study Alma 18 and 22 a lot. But it's a neat experience to teach someone with such little knowledge about such basic principles. She is very lonely and kind of just at a low point. And she is so willing to cling to something. It's made me think more about what faith is. I was reading about Korihor this week. His arguments against the existence of God or how minds become disillusioned to believe in something just because you're looking or wanting something to be there. It's an interesting passage, and in many ways convincing....  Korihor even admits to believing in God at an earlier point, but over time convincing himself otherwise. But after meeting people who are obviously so humble and desperate and searching for something brings a very sacred and loving feeling that convinces me of the reality of the existence of God. You can just feel Heavenly Father in moments like that as a tender parent that we know He is. It was an interesting lesson I learned and thought more about this week.

I thought and learned about a lot this week. I don't know. I need to bring my journal. Next week I'll tell you about what I thought about it. Today we had temple day so are emailing in Kowloon. so it was a little different, and we also have less time. So I'm sorry it's a short one. I'll write a good one next week. Thank you for all the birthday wishes!  And oh my goodness! yes!! I opened the package!!! I do not deserve so much love. Thank you. Thank you so much! I have just absolutely loved it. and I love you! I feel so bad to end this. But I love you and I miss you! and no, I haven't received the card yet, but I'll be looking :)

love you guys!
