So this week we taught one of our investigators preparing for baptism about temple and he loved it. He always has questions about marriage and how it works in the church and so to know that families can be sealed together was such sweet moment! The next day he came up to us after english class and he asks "So like girls in the church, can you like, like them? if so I think I'll try it." Haha awesome. Anyway this week was a super rough one to begin with but finished with a lot of miracles. We had a lot of investigators text us and tell us they don't want to learn anymore. And then in weekly planning we had to drop some more. And almost all of our appointments fell through and no one wanted to listen to what we had to say so finding was not successful. Also we had just like a lot of weird situations like going to meet someone st a coffee shop and then while we are waiting a bunch of musicians come in and start playing maroon 5 and stuff. Didn't think I would ever ...

So we had a kinda of  Martha and Mary moment this week and definitely understand that story so so so much more.

So we sit down and the wife is like i just cut up some fruit real quick while we wait a couple minute for him to get home. So we wait and she starts cleaning and putting some pots on the stove and grabbing more than just fruit and we were like wow wait we just have a few minutes do you mind if we share a quick message or help you out.

And she was being so sweet trying to show us all the fun Vietnamese things but we just really wanted to talk to her a...

Wow so I have not sent one of these out for a while! so get ready for some good stories! On Saturday I learned that sometimes the Lord has a lot better things planned than we do.  So it the afternoon we had a couple of appointments at the church starting at 3 and when we got there, 2 of our later appointments where already there but not the one for 3 o'clock. So we were like okay everyone wait a minute. So the lady shows up late but its okay cuz she was sooo awesome! She was listening so intent and her questions and answers were basically right out of PMG. when we asked her if she would like to learn how to pray she was so excited and said a really beautiful prayer. It was the quickest, smoothest lesson I have ever been in. Then the next appointment for 3:30 left already but the lady who was supposed to show up 2 hours later came early. So we met with her and she was so funny! She learned about the word of wisdom from english class the week before and told us "I know milk te...
