| Exchanges |
So many wonderful things happened this week! We are currently helping
one of our investigators search for a wedding dress because we are
throwing her a wedding at the church before she is baptized. She asked
us to be her bridesmaids!! Haha. Purple and blue are her colors... So
if I have anything in those colors in my closet back home will you
send it our way?
While on exchange with Sister Giddins we had so many miracles happen!
One of them was while we were trying to contact and find around some
less active members. The first door we knocked on we started to have a
discussion with a young man and almost forgot to ask about the less
active! When we did two other young men walked up the steps. One was
the brother of the guy we were looking for. Come to find out he was a
member of the church as well but hadn't been in about 10 years. They
joined our discussion and he opened up and shared his testimony of the
Book of Mormon with us and his friends. He opened up to us and shared
his concerns and why he stopped coming to church. He told us a few of
the members he was supposed to get in touch with but he kept putting
it off. We had him call them right then and there. The member was
thrilled and invited him to dinner the following Sunday. You could
tell by the smile on his face he was too. As we were beginning to say
a prayer with them another friend walked up and joined us. They all
wanted to be there when we planned to came back after studying his
concern. (We talked to the member and he's totally pumped to join us
for our lesson and help these guys out). After the prayer we asked
them if they knew anyone that had recently moved in. They pointed to
an apartment diagonal from theirs. We knocked on the door and then
opened Kwan. He at first seemed atheist but then he started opening up
and telling us how he's always felt like there was something greater
than him but he couldn't figure it out. We had to run but we asked him
to pray with us and if we could come back to give him a copy of the
Book of Mormon in a few days (incentive for him to allow us back
soon). He agreed and we left because we had to the use the restroom
and there was no female in his home. As we were heading back to our
car we saw this woman sitting on a bench. We went over to talk to her.
She spoke little English but had an awesome translator app on her
phone. We asked her if we could use her restroom and she eventually
said yes haha. I sat down with her while Sister Giddins was in the
bathroom and told her we were representatives of Jesus Christ. She
automatically hugged me!! I asked her if she would like to learn more
about Jesus Christ. She said "Yes!" And hugged me again. We testified
of the Book of Mormon and how it helps us learn of Jesus Christ. Once
again she was thrilled. We asked her if we could pray with her showing
her the steps and explaining how we pray. We asked if one of us could
say the prayer but she didn't understand and began saying the sweetest
prayer I've ever heard! "Dear Heavenly Father... We thank thee.." She
looked at me and I said "For each other." So she repeated me and then
said "We ask thee..." She looked at me again and repeated me. And
closed "In the name of Jesus Christ, amen." We've been corresponding
through email and she is so elect!!
When we went back to Kwan on Sunday and read the last two paragraphs
of the introduction with him we asked him why he thinks we feel it's
so important for him to read the Book of Mormon and ponder and pray
about it. He said "It will answer the questions that I have." He
thanked us so much for remembering him and wants to learn more!
Hope that makes sense!
I love y'all! I'm so excited for General Conference. So many of my
prayers were answered in the Women's Session... It was so good.
"4th floor, last door!!"
All my love,
