Hello everyone! First off, HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD!!! :) I hope that you had a fantastic day yesterday. I was thinking about you! Thanks for being such an incredible father and example to me and to our family. I feel so blessed to have such an amazing dad who is strong in the gospel - and who loves and supports his family. Thankyou! :). A member in the ward here sent a video of us yesterday...I'm not sure if you got it in the email account..but I hope that you had a wonderful day!
Things here are going good...a few sad things but a few exciting things. We were supposed to meet with Ola this past week, and she finally texted us and said that her parents have forbid her to meet with us :(. But she is so eager to learn more, so we hope with prayer and fasting that things will work out. They always do in the end :). Monike, who was another amazing investigator also said that she is not ready or open to this in her life anymore :/...but we know down the road that she will be.
BUT THE GOOD NEWS! We felt impressed when planning one night to go contacting in this one park, that we usually don't go to during the day...but since we were close by it from having other plans we decided to follow that impression. When we got there we noticed a lady sitting on a bench close up by the water, and we felt impressed to go contact her. When we started to go that direction she had gotten up and started going the other way. But I decided to walk after her and talk to her. We told her that we knew that God had a plan for her here in this life. She admitted that she didn't know what direction her life should take and that she was trying to be a good person. We were able to teach her about the restoration and about the BOok of Mormon and she said that she had prayed to know what to do with her life, and this was not a coincidence! She was SO excited to read the Book of Mormon and to find out more and meet. She is around 35 - and her name is Addita. She is great!
Another cool experience happened when we contacted a lady who lived in bellvue, Washington for 7 yrs.! We were able to exchange information and hopefully meet with her this week as well.
I can't believe it is almost July! Time her goes by so fast. It's scary to think that I'm more than half way done with my mission! But I"m excited for the things that are happening here, and know that miracles are happening every day - if we open our eyes to them.
It's crazy to think I will be 22 next monday! Time really does fly!...
Anyways, I hope that you all have another great weeek :)
