Dear Family,
So the work is still super slow here but we are working super hard! Daljodh, the guy from the gas station, is really doing well. We have met with him two times a week and even got him to the visitors center this weekend and he loved it! He said that he loves the things that we represent and our morals and so that he is really looking into it. He is seek and so we really don't understand too much about his religion we just know that he wears a turban and that his family is very into that religion. We are a little worried that he is more just interested in the church to learn about it more then to convert, but we are going to keep working hard with him and see how it all goes. He is the one in the picture.
Poor Elder Roberts this week tried to cut his own hair which really is not the biggest deal- we all cut our own hair to save money. But he got a set of clippers from our Chinese district leader and didn't know that they were different then American clippers. American clippers are made in cm where these ones were in mm. So he sets it to a three and then goes right down the middle of his head. All I hear from the other room is "OH NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He had a reverse mohawk!!! I have never laughed so hard in my life. Cutting your hair that close is against the rules but there was honestly nothing he could do about it after, so he had to shave it all off. hahahahahaha The zone leaders were just kinda like well there is nothing we can do but wait for it to grow out again. Our members have really got a kick out of it this week. haha Poor guy. He feels so dumb but has just excepted it.
Honestly there is really not much more to write about. We have been working really hard and are just waiting to see the Lord set fire to the area. We know that it is going to happen and so we are just sitting and waiting for it to all happen.
Well, every one- I need to go but thank you so much for the love and for the prayers! I am really, really thankful for everything that you do for me! I hope you know that the church is true and that I am in the Lords work! I am about done with reading the Book of Mormon again under the topic of faith! I have really gained a testimony of faith and how as we put our faith in Christ there is nothing else that matters! He will take care of the rest as we put our full faith in him! I love this church so much and I love this work! Thanks again for everything you have done!
Love,
Elder Shelley
