Speaking in Tongues

Family and Friends,

First off I would like to thank you all so much for your love and

support and for reading my emails! Maybe you don't read them every

week that's ok. Some of my stories are random or boring or gross (like

big Bertha) but I do hope to share a message about Jesus Christ in

each one.

Alright well this week, I think I was really feeling a sense of

urgency and determination. With our new missions theme "We are on

fire" by having 5 new investigators a week, I felt more inspired. We

had one true investigator last week, and she has been progressing off

and on. This week we were able to find 3 new investigators and we got

one progressing. We didn't get our goal of 5 but I'm so grateful for

the people we found. They are each so unique and willing to accept God

and Jesus Christ in their lives. So I'll share one neat experience I

have found to be true on my mission so far. It has to do with our new

investigator Kanzm. Sister Iaboo and I talk with many people whose

first language isn't English, and who know only a few words in English

though. I have come to find though that if we talk with everyone, even

those who don't speak English that well, they are able to say enough

in English for us to get their information and refer to other people.

That said, I know that God has put these people in our paths for that

very reason, and that they were able to speak English well enough at

that moment so that they could hear our great message that will change

their lives for eternity. So that's what happened with Kanzm. We met

him at a bus stop in which he spoke perfect English. Then we had our

first lesson with him and we had to use google translate the whole

time. I believe we will be sending him to the Elders who speak Persian

now but the situation is hazy because he doesn't live by Persian

members. What matters though is that he is learning the gospel of

Jesus Christ and is willing to accept Him as his savior.

Ok crazy story time:

Well only thing really is when we were Tracting we met this really

cool Catholic guy who gave us prayer necklaces. So that cool.

Something I might be keeping for a while. don't ask why. I thought it

was nice.

But ya! I love you all!!!

Thank you to all those who have sent me letters and packages!
