Dear Family,
Hey, how are ya doing? How's the
weather there in UT?
This past week was just dandy!
Things are going great in the area.
We have been working really hard and being very diligent and we are seeing lots of blessings being poured out by the Lord.
Pu Mony and Ming Srey are doing great and progressing great. We met them a few days after we taught about the Word of Wisdom and after conference. Mony had a smoking and drinking problem. He told us that he had immediately stopped drinking! Since then he has since been continuing to keep his commitment and his wife loves it that he has not been drinking. She told us that he would used to go get drunk with his neighbors and fall asleep under the house, which is pretty much a ditch full of garbage, and now he won't even drink a glass even when offered! She prays for him and he prays as well, he says that he doesn't have a desire to drink anymore and doesn't feel hungry for it.
They had another cool miracle, they went to conference and they didn't have any food and knew that when they came home there would be no food but still decided to put the Lord first and walk for an hour to get to the church; when they came home there was a family member who was waiting at their house and gave them 5 dollars and they were able to get some food! The Ming said something like, "If the Lord wants me to eat, then I will eat, if He doesn't want me to eat for a day, then I won't, If He wants me to die then I will die" she just has great love and faith. They have super faith and are a super family. They have a baptismal date for May 19.
We had a cool experience reading the Book of Mormon with another investigator who is named Borith. He is 28 years old and a little bit slower but a great guy, and he is a part member family and his sister is a recent convert. We went over to meet him and he was watching TV and seemed kinda upset and like he didn't want to meet with us and his parents kinda teased him which didn't help his spirits.. we asked him if he would be cool to meet with us and just read a bit in the Book of Mormon together and he agreed to do so; we read in 2nd Nephi 9:1-13 with him a bit and had a good talk about the Atonement and his mood just totally changed and he was smiling by the end and I think we are gaining a lot more trust with us. He mostly stays at home and doesn't have a lot of friends and I think he is really starting to trust us and feel more happy to meet with us. Great seeing how the Book of Mormon can change our moods when we are feeling down.
Borith shared a scripture a while back from his reading that he loved and wrote it down on a bookmark we gave him. 2 Nephi 6:10 Made me laugh :)
Things are going fantastic with Elder Fisher! I love serving with him and we are getting a lot of great work done together. We have great unity and love in our companionship. I really like how we do things well together and really both try and give our all. We are very open with each other and it really does help a lot. It is a lot of fun serving with him, we have gotten a lot of good things done this past week and we are really want to focus on things to strengthen the branches here in north zone to prepare for a stake.
