Part 2: Week 26--Healthy

A met missionaries 15 years ago in the Bronx.  Her daughter M is 5 years old and did pal cheer. She happened to be friends with our members daughter! They were on the same cheer team and live in next door buildings! Has another son who is 8 next month. We offered service to fold her clothes and she said that it was an answer to her prayer. And a miracle, because she had 4 big bags of laundry she was stressing out about and we came exactly when she needed. Heavenly Father is good, and is so aware and she knows it. She also said the elders used to help with her computer and do service for her all the time (in 2004?) and she felt like they were family. She wanted to know more about family search. We showed her the "find relatives around me" button on the app, and how far back we trace our families back and how cool it is to see our lineage. She also wants to bring her son to scouts on Wednesday at 7 and her daughter to achievement days when she is old enough. We did htbt and showed the Because of Him video. She still remembers the idea that Christ came to New York! She has another son who is 26 and in Washington with a son too! Her husband's family are from Samoa and they are Mormon!

We want to invite her family to FHE and Scouts!

T is from Ghana and excited to meet our members from Ghana!! She read the pamphlets before we came and asked about the premortal world. Her uncle and friend passed away and it made a huge impact in her life so it meant a lot for her to know that she will see them again. She wants the celestial kingdom so she can be with her kids together forever and she wants her kids to be baptized too. She said that we could bring members to her home. She felt like the bofm was her guardian angel that helped her a lot and we gave her alma 32 to read because she wants to know how to have firm faith and to strengthen it. She always has a prayer in her heart and she says it was a miracle that she found our church offering the Bible online for free right when she was searching/ praying for something to help her change. She wants to learn of repentance and how to prepare for baptism. We showed the chapel tour videos of sacrament and primary and of Sister T introducing testimony and primary and they are excited!  She says she has improved so much since she's started meeting and learning. 

D met missionaries and added them on facebook around this time a year ago. She believes in prayer and it helped her get through a lot and find peace in these times. (He helped her when her house was almost in foreclosure and when her dad passed away recently). Both my companion and I just started walking towards a big white house because we both felt to knock it, naturally. She was there! 

Mamale is working towards family history work and baptisms for the dead.

BofM . I am... Reading and writing down these things that come to mind: how to remember the good/ joy/ spiritual experiences. I am thankful for good. For Christ and Heavenly Father and the true peace that only comes through the gospel, when we move away from the "good" the world has to offer.

Maybe Connecticut or upstate new York for my last transfer? I'll go where you want me to go, dear Lord.
