Faces too close family
I love the mormon.org profiles. You may know this already. I got a kick out of this family. I didn't even watch the video. I couldn't get over how close their faces are in all the pictures.
Restauran Loteria
No joke....this may be a confession moment. SO, we have been enjoying 1 hour lunches and 1 hour dinners. Sister Moisio and I decided to hop on the Trax here in Salt Lake. We decided to see where it would take us. Fiasco. We went one stop further than the downtown "free zone" (which, we had no idea about...) Then, on our way back, we were stuck on the train. They had an accident up ahead that they had to clear away. But hey, we had Azteca lemonade and pineapple juice. So we were pretty happy. What can you do? C'est la vive.Ron + all the Jewish friends!
We keep meeting so many Jewish people this week! Seriously. We met a guy named Ron from Long Beach. His sister actually lives in Los Gatos!! Yay!! We meet Ron:
Ron: "So, I'm Jewish".
Me: "Yay!! I love Jewish people!"
Ron: "Why is that? It's not the first time I've had that kind of reaction from a Mormon"
Me: "Well, RON....You're a covenant people!"
Arielle
Sister Moisio and I are teaching another college freshman Arielle from Arizona. Her friend referred her on the square. We taught her one lesson over the phone. Before we ended, we had this moment:
Us: "well Arielle, is there anything you'd like us to pray for specifically?"
Arielle: "Well, can you just pray that I can find the direction I need to go in? And that I'll know the steps I need to take to get there?"
Yao Ming's parents
I stayed at home with Sister Bateman for half a day. She's from Washington. She's in the same zone. She is sick. Sister Moisio went on an exchange with Sister Bateman's companion....yep--Sister Chen from Taiwan, my former companion. And what happened while they were down at the Square? Mandarin Chinese motor coach. But wait, who was on the motor coach? Yao Ming's parents!!! Seriously. Hilarious.
Sister Yao
Speaking of Yaos......Thank you Sister Yao for the precious letter!!! You are missed here at Temple Square!!! I loved hearing about your dream! :) Thanks for the lock of hair too....
I really like this one: The Civility Experiment
Hilary from Washington
Seriously. Favorite moment of the week. Thursday night, Sister Moisio and I are planning for Friday. "Hmm....what shall we plan for? What kinds of needs have people been having lately?" We decided to plan for the concern "What happens after we die?". Basically, when we plan, we plan for how WE can understand the concern more fully, so that we can help others to do the same. Even if we don't meet people with that concern, we are better suited for the week. So Friday afternoon, we are walking by the shell fountain near the Temple and we meet these two college freshman. In downtown to see the Symphony. From California and Washington. BYU. We small talk for a minute or two. They asked us why we chose to serve missions. We talked about the pioneers a little too and the faith that they had to walk over 1,300 miles to Salt Lake Valley from the east coast. What would motivate them? Then before they left, we asked if there was anyone they would want us to call for them to give them the opportunity to learn a little more about the things that have blessed their lives. Hilary looks at me and says,
Hilary: Yea, can you call my friend?
Me: Sure. Why did you think of her?
Hilary:Well, by 19 year old cousin just died this summer. My friend and I recently just had a really long conversation about what happens after we die.
I told Hilary that she was who we needed to meet. She was who Heavenly Father had us plan for the night before. I am so impressed with how personal these miracles are. Every day. I am so grateful to serve.
No big deal...but we're going to P.F. Chang's tonight. :) Yay!!
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING. LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!
