Week 73

Hello all!!

Another week has flown by...seriously can't believe how fast time is going! But we had a good week here. We were busy with meeting new investigators and ones we've been meeting with for a while. Yesterday 4 investigators came to church so that was exciting!! One of the people that came to church is from Mongolia. She called us because she wanted to learn English, but she was also excited to come to church. We haven't been able to meet her recently because of work, but kept inviting her to church and she came yesterday!! She could only stay for Relief Society, but she said that she wants to keep coming. (She is really good at Korean btw).

We also witnessed a miracle this week...so last monday my companion and I were fasting for our investigators and to know how to help them because there are lots of people that are so close...just not quite there yet and we want to help them! so we were fasting and going to break our fast at 5 on monday evening. We had 2 appointments set up for monday night, but they both canceled throughout the day, so we were going home to break our fast and we weren't sure what to do for the rest of the night when we got a call from our English adverisement. It was a 15 year old girl who said that she wanted to meet and she happened to have time that night. So we met her at 7:00 at the church on Monday night and she is awesome!!! Literally an answer to our prayers. She loves America and wants to learn all that she can about it because she wants to work in touristry later. We met her 3 times this past week and taught her about the restoration and the plan of salvation and she accepted everything really well. She will hopefully be able to attend church next week. Her name is Hanur, it means Sky in Korean. It was a blessing from Heavenly Father to be able to meet her. I hope that she will continue to be able to progress!!

This week I've been thinking a lot about family history because we heard a lot about that in General Conference and we were teaching some investigators about family history work. So it got me thinking about our family and I reread the family history stories about Myrtle Amelia Thorpe Malstrom and Marie Malstrom Weilenmann and LOVED it! :) It's so cool to think of family members that have already passed away and we are all working together to do this missionary work. I felt a little more connected to them this week. I loved reading about how Great Grandma Malstrom went on a mission in the Western States. This is how she described her mission, "My mission was one of the very most interesting chapters in my life. Next to bearing my children, it was my happiest experience." I haven't had any children yet haha, but I would have to agree. This has been a very interesting chapter of my life and probably will continue to be one of the happiest experiences. Super grateful.

Thank you for all of your prayers and thoughts and help for getting me set up for school! I love you all and am so thankful for you!!

Love,

Sister Livingston
