So I know you're all probably wanting to know about my investigator in Africa who had a baptismal date for May 11. Well, he got sick with malaria, I think, so he's been down for a while. He sounded super sad, too! Annie, please send me some details about malaria, so I know exactly what he has. Thanks. So yeah, that was really sad!
I'll just tell you some cool things that happened since I talked with you all for Mother's day! The other day we were able to do garden service! Since we don't have the opportunity to do service for people like if we went tracting or whatever we get to do service around the gardens on Temple Square. Next time you're here, you can appreciate all the beautiful flowers because some of the sister missionaries helped plant them! It was really fun and I forgot how much I missed getting dirty!
So I have a pretty funny story to tell you all. So today me and my companion were on the Map desk just minding our own business, when this group of 10 Chinese people came! They couldn't speak any English and I couldn't speak any Chinese, so it was crazy! Then, one of them pointed to my companion's Book of Mormon and said "Chinese, Chinese!" Finally, we understood and handed a Book of Mormon in Chinese and any other Chinese materials we could find. Then they left just as fast as they came. We didn't know what hit us, but it made me thing of why they wanted that book. Maybe they just wanted it so they could pass the airplane ride reading, or maybe they really were searching for something. You never know! There are so many people out there who don't know that they are searching until they find what it is they were missing. So many people on the Square say that they felt something here that they've never felt in their life. That is the Spirit and it's our job as members of the restored church of Jesus Christ to help those people who don't know what they're searching for. It's great to be a missionary now and I'm glad that I'm giving up 18 months to serve the Lord! But I'm not going to stop after that, I'm going to continue to serve Him with all my heart, mind and strength!
