Hi Family!!!!!
Everything is going great! Lots of work and
trying to figure out what I am doing, but it's all good. It's been a lot of
fun! Missionary work is great. It's amazing how the Lord works. We've had so
many little tender mercies and I am continually amazed at how blessed we have
been.
For example, yesterday. Yesterday was good in
so many ways, but still a little off for some reason. We spend some time
tracting in the evening and decided to run by a members house real quick
because she had asked us to help her with something. Well, we knocked on what we
thought was the members house (Graciela) but the second the door opened we
realized we had confused the apartment numbers. A little boy answered the door
and poked his head out and started rambling on in a language that I knew was
NOT spanish. We smiled and started to talking to him and his dad came to the
door and opened it up and started speaking to us in pretty good English. We
explained that we were missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints and that we would like to share a message with his family.
Welp, this is where his English skills magically ceased to exist and he started
talking in Vietnamese and saying he didn't understand us hahaha So funny.
Anyway, a couple seconds later a young
teenage girl came out with a big welcoming smile and kind of took
over. We asked her if she knew anything about who we were or what we
believe and she said "no". We then started to ask about her
and her family's religious beliefs and she told us that her family was
Buddist and she was Mormon! She says she goes to church every week with
her grandmother and LOVES the mormon church! haha We were happy to hear this
(slightly confused) and we offered to come back the next day and have Family
Home Evening with her family. She got so excited and said that we would
love that!
So, we are going over tonight and we are super
excited. I am so thankful that Heavenly Father lead us to this family even
if it was the result of our poor sense of direction :)
We've had so many tender miracles like these
every day. I wish I could just share them all with you...Story time when I get
back! Thank you all for your prayers and love! I hope you all know how
much I love you and think of you often. The Church is true. I love our prophets
so much! I re-read President Euchtdorf's talk this morning called 'The Hope of
God's Light' It's amazing.
SO MUCH LOVE!!!
