my lovely peeps i call fam & friends,
this week was good!! aren't they all? i have found every week is good because we look for the good! & that makes a huge difference!!
we saw Evan & Helen this week as converts!!! we looked at Evan and said Evan!!!! how are you! and he said "well i got 2 books. and one of them is against my religion." we said, "oh no evan............" and he pulls out this HUGE BOOK called Greek Gods. hahah oh my goodness. that kid. i tell you. he is such an intelligent little one and he KNEW what he was doing at baptism! we asked him how he's felt the holy spirit and he said "i dont get scared anymore. its like im protected and i feel comforted all the time because god is here now." our jaws dropped. that was definitely recorded in the journal.. so my kiddos have a lot to look up to right there ;)
our sweet miracle Sherlyn that called us last week that i told you about is STILL a legit miracle!! she texted us and said, "sisters, i felt sad so i read the book of mormon and i the day i prayed with you and read this book is the same day as joseph on september 23" we didn't even know that september 23 was the day he prayed, so we were shocked. but it was incredible because she feels such a connection to it. she's been coming to activites and church yesterday and she loved it! it was all about family and she has 3 little girls so it was perfect.
OUR ASIANS!!!!!!! HAVE YOU BEEN WONDERING ABOUT THEM!?!?! ;) we even found another cute asian family that invited us over for dinner yesterday! let me tell you- i'll never go back to panda express after having REAL chinese food. i think it's my favorite food!! she didn't speak much english but luckily we had our member who could translate for us. It's so fun to teach chinese people because they have NO understanding whatsoever about god. so we start from ground zero and we get to see the light of christ shine through them!!!
we had MLC in Vancouver on the weekend.. so you know who i saw.. RITCH DAWG! oh man, i get some real thrill after seeing her. it was so fun and learning from President Burt he is always an answer to a prayer i didn't know i even had. i dont know if i have ever told you about how much he keeps "The End in Mind" so really, he talks a lot about who we need to become even when we are home. which i have always loved, but now getting SO close, i love it even more. he talked a lot about perfecting our mission life, so our life at home can become perfected. it was amazing!!
i want to tell you about my studies lately in preparation for GENERAL CONFERENCE!!!! last night as cute companions we made three sections on a piece of paper 1 our goals or questions we have 2. practical steps we can do this week to prepare for those questions and 3. results and our thoughts as conference goes on. I WANT TO TELL YOU that the questions i had were answered as i did the steps i had written down. i want to challenge you guys to do the same thing!! read General Conference is No ordinary blessing. and then read Good Better and Best and prepare yourself for conference! we should have been preparing MONTHS ago!! and this week, TELL EVERYONE that their prophet is speaking to THEM! because he is everyones prophet :)
i love you guys!! i really do. i can't wait to hear the miracle of conference being such an answer to your thoughts and prayers lately. i know it will bless our lives as it always does!! here is to my last one- as a missionary!!
xoxo, sister ovard
