Hey hey I love you. Also, I'm sure people are concerned with other things going on right now so I'll keep this one short. We heard some big explosions coming from downtown last night, pretty sure they were fireworks, but Arlington is super safe. I hope everyone back home is safe and expressing love to one another.
In terms of our friends, we finished teaching Chang and Li, and are just about to finish teaching Shenjie and Ryan all of the main lessons! They're all just about ready to be baptized! Since we have at least 2 weeks until any baptisms will happen, we've been teaching Christ Like attributes to our friends and the changes we're seeing in their lives already are so so beautiful! We've been teaching Li about Charity, Patience, and Hope and he has told us how it's started to improve his relationship with his family in just 1 week! So beautiful is the change of the human heart when applying the teachings of Christ. I'm not an expert in the Gospel, but I know that God has the power to make people continuously better.
I also know that He commands us to love one another. If you don't love others, you're breaking the commandments of God, which is a pretty huge deal. Right now people need love, please share it with everyone. Be kind to each other, don't be mean ever. Choose to be the best person you can be. Stand up for every member of the human family. Support eachother and remember that we are all children of our Father in Heaven who loves each of us so much!
I love you all very much, please love each other and express that love openly!
