So something
pretty cool happened this week. I was inviting the other day and I ran
into a Filipino lady named Maryanne. She spoke English thankfully (is it
just me or can all Filipinos speak English?) Anyway, she told me that
she carries her Bible around but that day that I talked to her, she
didn't have it. I told her about the church and she agreed to come on Sunday
(she didn't come yesterday but hopefully next time she will). A short
time after, I talked to a Chinese lady with her daughter that was from a
place called Chong Qing which is actually close to where my mom is
from. She was in Thailand teaching English. She was really nice as well.
I told her about our English class on Tuesdays and she agreed to come.
It's interesting to think that if I wasn't there that day, I probably
wouldn't have had the opportunity to talk to these two people. Both of
them could be ready to receive the gospel!
So Sister Sky and Brother Butter got baptized last Saturday and confirmed on Sunday!
They're finally new members in the ward! The two of them are way
friendly and Butter's just hilarious. For his baptism, he talked about a
cockroach that was in his bathroom and so he prayed and the cockroach
went into the corner of the room or something. Sky and Butter want to be
missionaries so it'll be really neat to find out where they'll be going
after I come home.
I love that through the
Gospel of Jesus Christ, we're able to live with purpose and meaning. The
Gospel of Jesus Christ isn't a checklist in our lives- rather, it is a
way of life. Through it, we become more like our Savior and because of
it, we'll be able to return to live with our Father in Heaven someday. I
love helping others come into this gospel. It's what gives me true
happiness.
Have a great week everyone!

We went to พระที่นั่งอนันตสมาคม last P-day and they had a museum inside! Way cool.
Afterwards, we found a place that was giving out free haircuts so Elder Miyagi and Elder LIbey got one haha.
