Muko Paw Heh Law

Hello! Sorry I don’t have much time to write a group email this week! It has snowed so much today! The roads have been super bad! (Brooklyn sent us a video and the snow was crazy! They were stuck in their car not able to drive because of how deep the snow was, after they finished their laundry! I wasn't able to get anything back after the video, so I'm assuming they got the help they needed. Fun, fun, fun!)

This week the youth in our ward had a temple night and Mae Paw (13 year old member who’s basically my best friend, also the only member in her family) has 4 younger sisters that we teach as well. One of her sisters is 12 so they invited her and us to come to the temple with them and teach her in the waiting room. It was so good! It was so cool to teach her one on one. She basically taught us the whole Plan of Salvation. When we teach them at their house it’s crazy because there’s 5 little girls and there’s just a lot of distractions. But for this, there was no distractions and we were in the temple, so the spirit was just super strong. In the past Sher Paw has been hesitant about being baptized because her parents say she’s too young and because of the stigma that Karen people have with young people getting baptized. But during this lesson she just opened up and said that she really does want to be baptized. However, we need her parents permission for her to get baptized. When Mae Paw got baptized about a year and a half ago, they also told her that she was too young, but she prayed and had other people pray for her parent's hearts to be softened and eventually they said yes! So we talked about that with Sher Paw and she is praying for her parents to let her be baptized by March 24! We have been praying every day for her. I know that God can help her parent's hearts be softened again! Also, can I just say how grateful I am for the Plan of Salvation? I know I say this all of the time, but I love it so much. The whole Plan of Salvation is such a testament to me of how much God loves each and every one of his children. We are always worthy of God’s love. Even when we don’t feel like we are. There is nothing we could possibly do, to make God not love us. This doesn’t mean that we can just do whatever we want though. We still have to try to do the things that he has asked us to do. When we follow God’s commandments, we are showing him that we love him. 

I hope you have a great week!
