Hi Friends and family,
We had a delightful visit with Sis. Flake on Sunday morning. She sounds like all is going well. She loves her companion Sis. Wong. They go to the church and dance once a week for exercise. Sis. Wong likes to shop and likes Sushi. Good thing that Lindsey likes that too. They are in a very beautiful area and she says that they are just wearing sweaters now that it has warmed up. They live close to the church and there is just one ward in their area. She will have been out one year on the first week of June. She should be returning in November.

Oh how wonderful it was to talk to you yesterday! Wow! you are all as amazing as i remembered. Thank you for your much support and encouragement. what a blessing. and i cant beleive that the next time i will talk to you will be face to face. AHHhh! oh yeah before i forget.. .yes mother i do have another memory card and yes please send me the other one and then i will send you more pics. and Happy Birthday mom!
So my companion and I are of one heart and one mind....yesterday at church sister wong introduced herself to someone: "Hello, im sister Flake" haha it was so funny once she realized what she said. And i wrote my presidents letter yesterday and put down her name instead of mine on accident. We definately have unity. Speaking of unity...this is what we are focusing on as we teach members at dinner appts. "Now ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citezens with the saints and of the house hold of God." So we ask: What makes a stranger turn into a friend? we want to help our ward be one and welcome everyone. sometimes we can get caught up in just going and talking to the same people....but we need to make sure that no one at church is a stranger. So we have been challenging every family to say hi to one new stranger every week untill there is no longer strangers or foreigners at church. i extend the same challenge to any of you that may be reading this right now. We are all brothers and sisters. Lets act like it. UNITY! ..........ZION! its a wonderful thing. i just felt like i was making a commercial....ha ha.....anyways....
I dont know what to talk about other then the church is true and we have investigators who are progressing.... after church yestday i was talking to Keith ( the 13 year old investigator) so i said "hey Kieth is this really the true church" and he said "yeah"....and i said " how do you know?" and he said " everytime i pray and ask God about it i just feel to good." and it is my testimony that it is so good....every bit of it. I just love rejoicing in this glorious gospel. Keith also offered a simple and beautiful prayer at our last appointment....." please help my mom to let me be baptised so that i can recieve the priesthood, and the holy ghost, and live with you in the Celestial Kingdom." How beautiful and simple it is. And we have it! Take a minute and think how blessed you are to have this. Who can you share it with? Pray and find someone today. well thats all for now...until next week....love, sister flake
