So this week we had such a good time teaching our investigator Oyunna, she is really loving the gospel. She is from Mongolia and we have a few families here in the ward from there as well, so she is getting fellowshipped so so well. She was given a gospel principles book a week ago, and she said she wanted to read it because she really thinks her questions she has had her whole life about where she came from, why she is here and where she is going will be found or established in this book. Well we show up for this lesson and she already read the WHOLE book! Oh my and she really liked it, so that is a plus. She agreed with everything she read and said that it was true and they are good teachings. It really cool.
I talked to president about her and she said that in Mongolia the church is really growing! 1 out of every 10 people are apart of the church! It's so cool! She loves coming to church, and she had finally found the peace she has been looking for in a long time.
We have been teaching English to another lady from Mongolia. We had her meet us at the church on Saturday and so while we were there we explained what we really do (teach the gospel) and then about church. We went on with our lesson and then about half way through she started to ask us if we believe in Jesus and that she wants to find him and learn more about him. It was so cool!!! So now we are going to begin teaching her as well.
These are both referrals who asked on their own to learn more. The Lord is completely preparing everyone.
I love this area because everyone is basically not American haha when I first got here I was like... everything has an accent. Including my companion haha. so it's a perfect service opportunity here to teach English and we have been blessed to find people to teach the gospel as well.
So we got a call Saturday night from president telling us that he is doing an emergency transfer and we would be in a trio... we had to drive to the mission home that night and pick up our new sister. And guess what, you'll never believe it! I got Sister Bishop back!! She is our third companion, how cool!!! I trained her just in case you forgot. So we have been catching up. Being in a trio is way too fun.
On Sunday Jasmine came into sacrament and showed us a picture she made on her phone... haha it was like a digital cartoon. But it was of Sister Bonvissuto and I. I was holding a book, because she said I am always carrying a journal around... I think she was just thinking about me at conference time. Too funny. And then Sis. B was holding her hands in a heart shape, because she was the first one to tell Jasmine she loved her. I thought that was so tender. Jasmine has come such a long way. It's so cool, and you can really see the difference in her continence its like night and day almost.
The Atonement is real, it will change us. It heals the broken, wounded and tired parts of us. I know this is true. I am so thankful for my Savior, and for Heavenly Father who loves each of us so perfectly.
I love you guys. I hope you have a good week :)
Love, sister tincher
