奇蹟! Miracles!


Hello!! We had a great week full of miracles! Highlighted by the B Family. They are a miracle. They were found a couple weeks before I got here and now we've been teaching them for the last month since I got here. Their kids are 4, 2, and a week older than Sadie. She works 7 days a week at a breakfast shop , morning shift. He works night shift at a factory . They split it up like that so one parent can be home at all times to be with the kids. They work SOOOOOO hard to provide the best for their kids. The schedule has been very very tough. But they have found happiness and peace through the Book of Mormon and They absolutely LOVE the gospel . Brother Bao has been to church 4 or 5 times and Sister Bao has not been able to get off work to come. They have a baptismal goal for 5/26. The family has been praying to see if brother Bao should get baptized first or wait for his wife. They decided last night that he should get baptized first. Their reasoning: They would rather have one in the family with the holy ghost and the priesthood to guide their home and help the rest of the family along! They have so much faith! We are very excited for his baptism. We then told her because of this , her husband can be the one to baptize her. They were very surprised and excited to here that!

We also met with a new investigator from this last week that told us he wants to develop a better relationship with God. Last week we shared the restoration with him and about how Heavenly Father is willing to communicate with us and help our lives . This week we talked about the means by which we do that: Reading the Book of Mormon with real intent to learn from it and praying to know if its true! It was a very powerful lesson, as we read with him from the pages of the Book of Mormon you could feel the power the Book held. He set a baptismal goal for June 30th! What an awesome guy! 

2 Nephi 32:3 "Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do." 
-The words in the Book of Mormon and Bible are here to guide our lives!

Teaching English class is a fun and weird endeavor sometimes. This week the other Elders were doing a spiritual share and they asked the question "what makes your lives hard". Soon a yell was heard from the back of the room "the American Government". This same woman asked us for the codes for the U.S.'s nuclear weapons a few weeks ago. Haha you never know what's going to happen at english class!

Love you all!
