This week has been great! I dont think that we met with pretty much any of our investigators, but we met a bunch of new people and saw alot of miracles!
Here are just a couple:
The elders took us to a new part of our area we hadnt been before. For a reason... it is out in the real Boonies. There is nothing out there except for a couple of houses and a bunch of dogs. They had taught this young girl over there and were going to take us to meet her. Unfortunately she wasnt home, but we decided that we would knock some doors in the area while we were out there. At one point we went around the corner of this house and 3 HUGE dogs were standing there staring us down. So we ran back around the corner, only to have the dogs start chasing us. I knew we couldnt make it to far so I flipped back around with my Book of Mormon in my hand ready to smack them across the face and shouted as loud as I could, "HEY!". Then the all stopped and went back around the house. I thought we were going to die. Luckily with the spirit and I think some natural instinct I have gotten passed down from both mom and dad, we made it out alive. :)
On like Tuesday at the end of the day I put together a scripture text and sent it out to a bunch of people we had taught before. The next thing I know, someone replies, and who is it you may ask? None other than Linda. We taught Linda like my first week here, then soon after she stopped answering our calls, or just didnt really want to see us. But she responded that she had time to see us on Friday. So Friday comes around, and I didnt really think she would show up. She didnt answer our text or call when we tryed to confirm her, but we went to the determined spot to wait for a bit to see if she would. Then right as we are about to just start some finding in the area, she called! She came and we were able to teach her. She said that soon after we taught her the first time, she got a job, and then another job and is currently working as a security guard during the night in Yuen Long. She told us how grateful she was that we taught her how to pray and how much prayer has helped her since then. She said that if she hadnt met us at that time, she probably wouldnt have been able to find a job so quickly.
I think the biggest miracle we have seen this week is our LA Sister Choi. I think that I have told you about her before... she went from about a couple months ago saying that she didnt care about us and didnt care about God and didnt want to see us again, to this week when we visited her she said that since we have been visiting her she has stopped drinking Tea. Not only that but she wants to pay fast offerings even though she cant really come to church. It is AMAZING to see the change that she has made just over the last month. God is working so many miracles in her life. I think a big part is her 6 month old granddaughter that she takes care of. Sister Choi will pray with Sam Yee, her granddaughter, and Sam Yee will hold still. Sam Yee has just become easier and easier to take care of as Sister Choi keeps more and more commandments. It is amazing. I couldnt have asked for a better miracle.
Missionary work is full of miracles. These are just a couple of them. I wish I could tell you all the miracles we see. Unfortunately if I did that, each email would be a novel. This work is amazing! I am so grateful that I get a chance to be a part of it everyday.
I love you all!
