Nii how! hello in chinese! i know hello in many different languages now... well thanks for all the great emails.....i have not read them yet. but i am finally getting some letters...and i am glad that you are finally getting some of mine...sorry it took so long and too bad my pictures got lost....dang. You are all the best and i love you so much. i cant wait till you can come see how beautifull it is here.
So the most exciting news this week! We commited two people to baptism yesterday! wow! sooo great! we knew that if we showed the Lord that we could work hard by contacting like crazy(oh the koreans already beat our record by the way...didnt evey have it a week...thats great though)that we woulld be blessed....and this past week was so full of appointments we barely had time to contact. and we had a coulple people call us for appointments! so a boy named David who is 9 came to the church for the first time since he was a baby....his family has not been active....but we have been visiting them alot and builing a bond with david...is just treat him like my little bros...and him and his mum(yes its mum in Canada) came to the stake pic nic on saturday....so i hung out with him most the day and made him promise to go to church with his mum who has been coming the last couple weeks...anyway...he came to church and so did his dad! so we gave him a tour of the church and all the secret rooms and top secret stuff "wink wink" and thn we took him to the font tsught about baptism and sang the special baptism song....then we asked him and he said yes! so probably the last week of august or whenever his older brother gets home from cadet camp....he is 13 and we will get him baptised too!
so our other baptism.....a member refferal.....she is this really cute women in her 20s who works at a gym and is dating a member in the singles ward so she had been to church with him five times and she asked to start talking with the missinoaries...so we went there on sunday night taught her the first lesson and commited her for baptism the third week in August.....wow! and she is so ready she knows what the spirit feels like and is excited to learn more and more! so we didnt really have to work for it....she is so ready! wow this work is so exciting.
the three people we had at church last week were all there again! michael agreed to take the lessons so we meet with him tonight..... Deanna is still progressing as well.... after sacrament michael turned to Deanna and asked "the spirit is here isnt it?" soo we are way excited bout both of them and the ward was so welcoming to them...the other guy brought me flowers again so we are going to have to hand him over to the korean elders because its getting kind of wierd.......but its nice because we give the flowers to people who need love dureing the week.
anyways miracle story.....we met with this women that sis. anderson had met with before i got here. her 21 year old daughter was killed in a freak accident three months ago and she is in depression.... on her last day of work before taking time off for mourning she happened to cut the elders hair...they got her number and then sis. anderson and her last companion went and visited her...so she invited us to come over again and this time she wanted us to meet her friend who lives next door and is dying of cancer...... really sad stuff i know...so we happened to have a dinner appointment before that with sis. kovaltsenko who lost her husbannd foour years ago...we had the inspiration to invite her to come with us to khatiras(the lady who lost her daughter) wow we taught them the plan of salvation and the spirit was so strong....we prayed and sang for them.....and sister kovaltsenko was able to help so much because she had been thorugh it you know...anyway everyone had tears and we were all comforted...we have another appointment with them tonight. wow! the Lord knows exactley what we all need!
