Hello my dearest people that I love! What a week! First of all, my dear sister Wong has been transferred to Richmond (which is 80% Chinese) to speak mandarin. And yes I did cry when she left. Wow I really love her. Saying goodbye at the airport was difficult. So now I have a brand new missionary companion, Sister Stevens from Tremonton, Utah, fresh from the MTC. She’s teaching me a lot. She is a twin and the youngest of ten children. She is really athletic so that’s nice, and a very hard worker. She really catches on quick. It’s been great so far! We work and forget to eat and drink, and wear sunscreen.....i love that! But we both are pretty burnt from four hours of contacting at the park. But the Lord blessed us with lots of potential investigators.....
Oh yeah! on Monday sister Wong and I finally were able to commit Jason to baptism....I’m not sure if i even told you about him...missionaries have been teaching him for 6 months, and he was really stubborn, his wife is a member but has not been active, they have a cute little daughter named Kaylee... We have been meeting there almost every Monday night....two months ago we told him we couldn’t come over anymore until he went to church, we have always invited him but he never made the effort, so we had to be bold. We were not sure if he would do it.....but he did! and he’s been going ever since....and now he will be baptized on the 13th! Whoo hoo! As he started really trying hard to come to a conclusion about the book of Mormon his life began to change! It saved their marriage and even people at work have made comments to him that he seems different! The gospel really does change lives! Please pray for their family that all will go well till the baptism....Satan likes to stop people whatever way he can.
Keith received the holy ghost at church yesterday :) we also recommitted Tiffany for baptism on the 4th of July (it’s not a holiday here).. So things are going very well here. Oh and something kind of crazy. Katie’s dad kicked her out of the house because of the whole Mormon thing.....so she is living down stairs here at the Sippels house.....so she has joined us for dinner appointment and running in the morning....it’s kind of crazy.... its only temporary til she can find another place. But its fun getting to know her more. and the ward has really reached out to her here. The Sippels are so nice to let her live here. So lots going on here! But i love it! Thanks,
Love, sister flake
