Letter #76

Hello Hello!

Well this week was another great one full of many miracles. Some big, and some small but I feel very blessed to have seen each and every one of them. The more that I do missionary work; I realize that every single cool experience that I have had on my mission is a result of the love of heavenly father. Every person that I am able to talk with on the street is some one that heavenly father has put in my path.

We had another very successful week. One of our really solid investigators brought one of his friends to church and we were able to share a lesson with her about prayer. She just moved here from China and has felt very lonely. She cannot talk with anyone, so it is very hard for her to make friends. She works in New Jersey as a waitress and comes to china town the one day a week that she has off. I can’t imagine living that kind of life. Prayer really seemed to ring accord with her. She felt the spirit as we testified that heavenly father really does hear us when we pray. I am so blessed to be on a mission where I can share with people this sweet and simple message.

One of our investigators came back from china! And met with us again! She was the one that had a lot of amazing miracles happen before she left, so we were very happy to see her. She brought me sand from a really cool island in china called Hai Nan Dao. That has become my dream place to go visit. It is supposed to be a lot like Hawaii, but everyone there speaks mandarin! I think it sounds like a great place for someone like me! She also brought us a lot of unique Chinese candy. Interesting would be another great adjective. It was so good to see her again; she is a really fun person to be around. She still prayed even when she was in china! I thought that was awesome. It is great to teach people things, but when they actually use the things that you teach them it is a feeling that is indescribable.

Well we got to get going, today is elder nears last p day before he goes home, so we are going to have to party a little bit!
