The Lord Makes Up the Difference

Hey Everyone!

Verbatim:

Whoa! Your hair!--Godric from Danshui, upon seeing me at conference. My hair is asian style right now.

 

Oh, Elder Siebert, you let your hair get a little longer...I almost didn't recognize you.--Sister Zhuang from Xindian

 

You are really good at styling your hair, does it take a long time?--One of the young men

 

I'M GOING TO SHAVE ALL MY HAIR OFF TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!--me, sick of the hair comments

 

(quietly) Wendy Zeng: I like the hair

Me: You make me sick. AHHHHH!

 

Yeah, I forgot to write down the rest. I know that there was tons of good stuff though. We had dinner at the bishop's last night and the sisters went too and it was super funny because Sister Wu kept saying stuff that was super direct and semi-offensive but she doesn't mean it to be but me and bishop just teased her and so did bishop's wife. It was so funny. She kept going and trying to make it right which just made it worse. Yeah, hilarious.

 

This week I saw a cool miracle going out the door. I talked to someone at the light right by our house and had a prompting to tell him about the living prophet and conference. I asked if he believed in God and he said yes and then I asked him to pull over which he did. He stepped off his scooter immediately and took his helmet off and stood there waiting for us to share more. It was so cool. We shared and then invited him to Conference and he accepted. He really showed up and really liked it saying that we can definitely share more about the church with him in the future. It was such a miracle to me to see this random person be so prepared to receive the gospel. I pray that he can go the distance and I am faithful that he will. I know that God knows His children. They are all valuable to Him. Even when we feel like we are not, He is preparing ways for us to receive His happiness if we will only open our eyes and hearts to receive those blessings.

 

Love,

Elder Siebert
