Selamat siang semuanya! Good afternoon everybody! But it's actually nighttime for all you in America right now, so selamat malam too! This week has been a bit hectic. I've been worrying about this area, because this has been a time where all of our investigators and people just kind of stopped happening. Everything good that had happened the last month had just kind of disappeared, with all of our potential investigators and less active members wanting to come to church. It was making me a little stressed. So... the beginning of this week was terrible. we went all around solo and were trying to meet our investigators and less active members and trying to contact and just nothing was working out. I have to admit I almost gave up hope on this area. But I decided to stay true to my personal motto: things are always going to work out if we keep trying, no matter how bad it gets. So, we kept trying, and by the end of this week we found 3 new investigators, gave away 4 Books of Mormon, and got a whole bunch of referrals. My motto has never failed me yet! Maybe things have ended up differently than what I thought they were going to when I came to Solo, but things always work out for our good and the good of those around us. God has a plan for each of us, we just have to keep moving forward so He can shape us into the person we need to be, so we can experience the things we need to experience. If we keep a hold of our strong foundations nothing can keep us from rising above the ashes of heartache, loss, loneliness and unfairness. Just keep doing what you know is right and don't ever give up hope.
Question for all of you: What is hope, exactly? I'm interested in hearing what you all think... Sip! Terima kasih! Thanks for always being there for me this past year. You know, it will be my year mark one week from this Friday. Can you believe it? I definitely can't. This last year has been packed with so many experiences and lessons, but it's by far been the fastest year of my life. Weird. Thanks! Sister Stringham
