3/2/2015 - Hey Family

Hey loved ones!

This week went really well. I am super happy that I got excited to BYU. We saw some miracles this week and we are continuing to work really hard. I am really really happy that I am staying with Elder McKay in Jinhua Ward. I was really afraid that I would end up moving for my last transfer but I received a big tender mercy and was allowed to stay here. I feel like I still have a work to do in this ward and I know that because I am staying here I will be able to work as hard as I can. 

Paul is continuing to progress. We had a huge breakthrough in the last lesson we had with him. He was just not getting it for a long while and I just was at a crossroads. When we started talking it was just a super natural conversation. I was really just trying to listen to the Spirit to discern what his needs were. I felt impressed to talk to him about the purpose of life and shared Alma with him. I don't know why but it just really made sense to him this time. He all of a sudden just said, I don't know why but I just have this huge desire to go to the Celestial kingdom!" It was really really cool. The Spirit hit me super strong and it was confirmed to me that he is going to get baptized. My testimony was so strengthened from this experience and I know that God is working on him. He's gonna make it! 

We are really trying to focus on just loving the people and loving our zone members. I am loving being a missionary. I am close to finishing the Doctrine and Covenants and finishing the Book of Mormon in Chinese. God is continuing to let us see miracles and we are fervently seeking them. I really do love being a missionary and I am going to hoe to the end of the roe. 

Keep loving each other and finding opportunities to serve.

Love,

Elder Meeks
