Finding & Teaching! 6/2/14

Hello everyone!!

This week seriously FLEW by... i can't believe it has already almost been over half a month that i've been back to temple square. i feel like i just got her like 2 days ago! Sister Tsang and I are working SO HARD! I absolutely love my life and we see miracles daily. It's incredible!

One really cool experience I had this week was when we got to teach 3 men from the Congo about the Book of Mormon and the restoration. It was SO awesome and an extremely spiritual conversation. We've finally got them in touch with sisters and other missionaries and it makes me feel so happy. I just love it all!

We also had what was called "Spanish Marathon" where all the spanish speaking sisters will get together in the teaching center & just spend a couple of hours contacting referrals that we have (because spanish sisters are some of the most busiest) & well, two sisters told me that my spanish is PERFECT & that they've seen it get so much better over the course of my time here and it just made my whole day and made me feel like i could talk to anyone :) I love that! Still needs some improvement but its tons better than it was when i first got here and i FEEL so much more confident speaking it too. Hurraay!!!

So coolest thing. we had these 3 professional golfers come and speak to us during Relief Society... 

& they were telling us about how they use their income and talents to fund a humanitarian effort in Zimbabwe (bc one of them is from there!) & anyways, it was incredibly inspirational and it just made me reinforce my desire to do something with my career that is going to make an important difference in the lives of other people... I love how they said that we need to not only endure in faith to the end, but also we need to ENJOY to the end. They told us that when we have a bad day - SMILE -& Satan will say "Hmm, well that didn't work!" :D & That's how we should look at life. I got to go on exchanges with some of my sisters that are serving in the Humanitarian Center for the church and it was a really neat experience. we got to meet some VIP people from the government in Jordan!!! That was neat. & I am just amazed at how much work the church does for other countries. blows my mind and it just makes me happy that we are here on earth doing the Lords will.

Ahh!!! & I have to tell you about one of our progressing investigators that we found at the Tabernacle not this sunday but the one before... Anyways, so this member brought his sister and nephew (who is visiting from mexico for 5 months) to the square -- so of course he saw my flag and started talking  & we just immediately became friends with all of them and invited to take them around. Anyways, his nephews name is Josue & he is absolutely beyond incredible!!! He is 24 years old & is studying medicine in mexico. He really has such an incredible testimony of Jesus Christ & the cool thing is that he's been going to church two times already! & this past sunday at church the missionaries were all confused and thought he was a member already because he dressed like it and acted like it. He has accepted the invitation to be baptized and is currently praying for a date. WOW! Can you believe it?! I am just the happiest person right now because he just dropped into our hands. he's meeting with the missionaries tomorrow in his area and is coming back to temple square on saturday with his uncle. I am just so extremely grateful for every blessing the Lord has allowed me to experience here! Just wow!!

Well, looks like that's all for today!! Keep praying for miracles to happen in your life and notice the little things the Lord does for you!


Love you all!
