Brother Andre's family is really progressing. This week we watched the Restoration Video with their family, and a recent converted named Sister Lisa. Watching the restoration video is like eating food: it never gets old and it is so good everything to watch it! Sister Lisa bore a powerful testimony on how she knows Joseph Smith is a prophet of God. Apparently she was visited, in a dream, by an angel. The angel told her she needed to join this church and none other. After she was baptized, the same angel appeared in a dream and told her Heavenly Father was pleased with her decision to be baptized and commanded her to share the gospel with everyone, especially her husband and kid, We are now teaching Brother Bilong, her husband. Such a cool experience!
Thursday was one of our busiest days: 6 appointments (3 hours), missionary preparation class (1.5 hours), weekly planning (2 hours), English class advertising (1 hour), planning and studies (3 hours), to-do list (1 hour), and however many hours that are left in the day to eat, travel, and find!
And yes, we were waiting at a stop light and we pulled up to this guy on a motorcycle. He was smoking. I asked how long he had been smoking. He said forever. I said stop smoking. He said why. I said cause it's not healthy and you need to follow Jesus. He said ok. The light turned green. I said follow me. He followed me. I rode on my bike as fast as I could to get to the church. I looked back. He still was following. I was happy. He was happy. When we walked into the church, he could only speak Chinese. I tried speaking Chinese. It didn't work. We called the Chinese elders. They came right away and then taught the guy a lesson. Way fun miracle!!
Sunday night was golden. We took Brother Andre's family to Brother Merang's house to teach about Temples. Brother Merang's family is the only family that has been able to go to the Temple. They bore powerful testimony and got Andre's family really excited! They feed us dinner and it was biawak!!!! So so good. It's that lizard I ate in Bintulu and had to wait a year to get it again!!
Crazy and fun week! How you enjoyed yours!
Love you ALL!
