Well hello! I love you soooooo much! Just a few points of business before I get started...I did receive the memory card...thanks a ton. I hope you enjoyed the pictures I sent you. So did Fusi give you a call? I got an email from her. Which is crazy cuz i was thinking about her the other day? You remember her right. The one from Tonga...or Samoa...can’t remember, she lives in the Boulders and I use to pick her up for church. Well I can’t email her back cuz of the new rules....but can you get her address for me...or give her mine? Thanks so much! Mom I just wanted to say I got the pictures you sent and you look beautiful, and Sister Wong thinks you’re pretty too. You look pretty too dad! HAHA just kidding.....anyway my brothers are huge its kinda scary... how am I gonna keep up on bike rides now? No chance.
So anyway ....life here is great! We had a miracle this week. We met with Keith and asked if we could talk to his mom. At first she said " no he doesn’t need to be baptized, has already been baptized in the Catholic Church." Then we kept talking to her and 5 min later she said she needed to think about it....then we talked a little more about authority and showed her the Strength of Youth pamphlet....and then she said" ok let me check my schedule." Wow! Isn’t that great! She agreed! So Keith and Tiffany will be baptized this Saturday! The Lord answered our prayers...and thanks to all of you who participated in those prayers. Faith in Christ works miracles! So then we had another great miracle from God. Remember about a month ago when I told you I had to buy new Nikes cuz my feet were having problems? well when we were in that store at the mall on Preparation day there was a couple there and the guy was like" hi sisters" and we were like "woa, oh hi" cuz that doesn’t usually happen....so found out he was a member from the states and his girlfriend was not a member from Kelowna (long distance relationship).....so we asked her if she was ready to meet with the missionaries?...haha....and she declined but was very friendly. Well....we forgot about it till last week when we got a call from the office with this girl, Katie Turner as a referral! WOW! So we met with her this week and wow! She is amazing.....she has already been going to church with her boyfriend in the states and came back so she can get a visa and meet with us so she can be baptized! So we asked her how she feels about the church so far....well basically she bore her testimony and we were all teared up as she explained how the first time she walked into the LDS church she was filled with an overwhelming feeling of the spirit....she said she felt like she had returned home! She knows it’s all true.... She is already in Alma and she has notes on every page with things she has learned and questions for us..... she also came to church with us and answered most the questions in gospel principals...the ward members were like" do you want to get baptized after church?" ....she is on fire with the spirit! Amazing! I feel so privileged to be a part of teaching her....she is an elect daughter of God....she grew up in the catholic church...her family is strong catholic....she was frustrated with her church because every time she would ask questions they would tell her "that’s just the way it is....don’t worry about it." so any way she will be baptized in June and she is so amazing and such a great example and faith builder for me! And please pray for her family because they are kind of mad about her investigating the church...The gospel is true and the spirit is real! Love you all!
Love, sister flake
