Hello To All,
I hope that everyone is doing well. This week has been great! Yeah just like every other week! But it is just so amazing here that I can't get over it. I know that the Lord hears and answers all of our prayers, but He does in His way and His timing. But this week was great. We have really been praying hard that we would find and come in contact with those people who have been prepared by the Lord and that we would know what to say to them. We had three Mandarin tours, one right after the other! It was so crazy because we were at the right place at the right time, just ending one tour and ready to start another one! The Lord definitely made it that way because there are absolutely no coincidences!
So then after we were done with the third tour a man came and asked if he could find out more about what we believe in. We were going to give him a tour but we just ended up staying where we were and talked about Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. It was so amazing and he was so receptive and understood a lot what we were talking about. He ended up wanting a Book of Mormon, and I also gave him our number so that he could call whenever he had questions or wanted to learn more. So golden.
This week we were also able to set one of our investigators on date for baptism! Woot! His name is Brant and he has been in contact with us since before I was out here, but didn't really understand until like the last two weeks of the last transfer. So that is when we learned he likes to smoke marijuana before ready the Book of Mormon to "clear his mind." Yeah so then we talked about the word of wisdom with him and it took a few times, but he understands and has been clean for like a week! It is so great! He is really receptive and so ready to learn and will be meeting with the local missionaries soon. Oh this gospel is so true!
Well I remember that I spoke of Scott in last weeks letter, and guess what? He got baptized!!! Yay!!! Now the family can prepare to go to the temple all together! It is such a beautiful thing! Oh and crazy thing about the baptism as we were closing the Joseph Smith movie in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and a Chinese lady wanted a tour. So we took her on one and then we asked her if she wanted to attend the baptism, she said yes! So she came and it was so cool, she then came back to the square the next day. We don't know what will happen next with her, but at least we planted a large seed, and miracles do happen!
That is all the big news that I can think of right now. Sorry, so much happens in the week and I want to write ALL of it, but I think my letter would take days to write! Haha. The gospel is true. The atonement is real. I love being here and sharing this with so many people everyday. Remember that every member is a missionary and without members, the missionary work can't move forward, we need your help! So please help! I love you all so so much and hope you are all doing great!
Love,
Sister Sara Snow
