I am doing so well. :) This past week has been fantastic. So we had to move out
of our apartment for a few weeks because our landlord is redoing our bathroom.
We get a new bathroom and we have been forced to figure out the bus systems! I
think Heavenly Father was in Heaven like,"Okay, it's time to stop walking
everywhere.. Now you have to ride the bus system." :) It has been a blessing. We
have been living with the sisters in Watertown. Six sisters in and apartment..
It's been fun. :) Our zone leaders brought our mattresses over.. We are loved! I
have gotten to spend time with Sister Giblette too, she is one of the sisters in
the apartment. We eat so much brownies and ice cream it is ridiculous.. I didn't
know it was a huge thing until my mission.. We went to return and report for the
new missionaries and their trainers. It was SO good. I love love love being
around other missionaries. We got to hear from our AP's and from President
Packard.
We were on the bus on Friday and a little girl sat next to us and she
was so excited because she was heading to the dentist. We were talking about how
excited she was for the prizes she was about to get.. Our stop came and as we
walked off the bus she stood up and yelled,"YOU TWO SMELL LIKE BUNNIES!" We took
it as a compliment coming from a four year old. Everyone else in the world
knows that bunnies stink. :) We also had a little boy asked what language we spoke in Utah.. hahaha
We had a member call us Thursday night asking if we
could create a mini visitors center for the lobby in the chapel by Sunday.. He
wanted it their for his friends to be able to look at. We were able to have it
done by Sunday, it was a good test run.. Improvements will be made. :)
Miracle
time!
1. Ali is such and awesome guy. He wants so badly to do the things that God
would have him do. He is fasting and praying for a baptismal date, so keep him
in your prayers. I am so excited about him.
2. Sister Eager is a member in the Belmont 1 ward. She has had such cool
missionary experiences the past few weeks.. So she has been going to this dry
cleaners here in Belmont for years now. The people who run it are Korean and
Sister Eager decided that she wanted to give them a Book of Mormon.. So she
bought one in Korean, but never had the courage to give it to them. About a week
ago the man asked if he could have a copy of the Mormon Bible! How awesome is
that? Heavenly Father knew that Sister Eager did what she could do and He made
up for the rest. Now he has a Book of Mormon and good things are happening.
:)
3.Yesterday, the Lambs, invited a family over for dinner and invited us as
well. The father is Catholic and the mom has no religious background. Our
members lead the discussion in what they thought their friends were comfortable
with. We ended up talking about the KJV of the Bible and we gave them a copy of
the Book of Mormon. It was such a wonderful experience and so exciting for all
involved. Follow-up soon to come. We are very excited about this one. :) We know
that their are people here in Belmont ready to receive Christ's gospel. We are
trying really hard to find them.
4. We had a lesson with Farah and the Farsi translator. We were able to
teach her about the Bible. She has very little understanding of a lot of
Christian things.. Anyways, the Spirit was so strong and the lesson was so
touching. She was able to come to church this past Sunday as well. She is
wonderful. :)
My District... They are the best!
