This week was an amazing week for
me. I got to go with Sister Hosea and Sister Riggs to my first area. One of our
converts has gotten married! They are both so happy! This is how it happened - Sister Hosea and I
wanted to go on a hike with our investigator. But since he was male, it was decided we should
probably get a female to come too. We decided to pick a member who is single,
around his age, and it just worked out. After the hike, they started dating. He
finally got baptized. And...now they're married!!! They got married on
Thanksgiving Day! President Mella was there too! The bishop performing the
marriage started his speech, and then said: "Mawidge.... Mawidge is what
bwings us togethoo tooodaaaay.... I've always wanted to say that." It was
hilarious.
Wow, I did not realize I was coming to California to witness
this beautiful wedding, and the fact that Sister Hosea and I introduced them to
each other. They are really happy together. They plan to get sealed in the
temple about a year from now. Looks like I'm taking a road trip back to
California next year.
After the wedding, Sister Huang and I went to thanksgiving
dinner. It was so good. The turkey made me so sleepy as always. This week was a slow week for the work though. (It's like
there was a holiday or something, bajing!) So I began to pray for miracles. A few
happened. We met a friendly lady one evening while looking for a potential
investigator. She invited us in and we helped her wash dishes and feed her
birds. We shared a message with her. She said she's not sure about her
relationship with God, but the principles that religion teaches make perfect
sense to her. We left a Book of Mormon at her house. She said she's not sure if
she'll have time to read it. But she has it in her home.
Then, last night, we got a call about a referral. We were
supposed to get it a few weeks ago, and it somehow never went through and we
never received it. So someone called us to ask about it. We worked it out
though, and then called the couple (husband is a member, wife is not)
and they said we could come teach them! A miracle!
It's odd though that our area book on our iPads never
received it... Stupid Satan! Always messing with the work. Anyways, some of the awesome things that happened this week.
It was good!
Love yous!
-Always, Sister Brown
