Thank you all for your love and support and prayers. Sister Wong and i have been truly blessed! Its been an amazing week. The Lord is helping us do hard things.This week we had two people at the food bank with the desire to learn about our church. So we already met with one, and the other we will meet with this week. So far so good. The stronger our faith and confidence in the Lord the more He just places people in our path. Its so neat to see. Tracting has really been paying off for us as we received four new investigators again this week! Wow the Lord is so wonderful! Well we have still been helping that single woman with the seven kids. This week we painted her basement. It was fun and we have built a relationship with her six young sons. I love going there cuz they remind me so much of my little bros. They would make such good Mormon boys. I wish that Dawson and Andrew could come out here and fellowship them. Well the great thing is that the mom fed us dinner and told us that one of these days we should just come over to talk and not to work.....so that is a great opportunity that we have been praying for. I will keep you updated!
Anyway i really loved conference! Holy cow did anyone else feel that wave of the spirit when the choir was singing "We thank thee oh God for a Prophet" and they started showing the pictures...wow the spirit was incredible. and it answered a question for me for an investigator that i will share with him this week. His name is Dima and he is from Russia. anyway he is all philosophical and was suggesting that an answered prayer or feeling the spirit just comes because you want it to and attract that feeling into your life....but its not a real answer...blah blah blah...etc... anyway i thought about it and could not come up with a way to explain it..... but while in conference and the song was being sung i was just sitting there listening to the beautiful music and thinking about the many different hairstyles of the women in the choir...not asking for or expecting any spiritual manifestation then all of a sudden whoosh! The spirit flooded my body and tears filled my eyes. so i want to share that experience with him and testify to Him of the reality of the spirit and of God. Well i know this is the true church. i know Thomas S. Monson is a true prophet.....how grateful i am for this knowledge! Not just because it all makes since but because i have felt it and cant deny it! Love you all!
Love, sister flake
