Hello family!
I can't believe it's that time again to write you all! Time is so weird. I can not keep track of it anymore. I feel as if time is just swirling around me.
I hope I get time to write in all my thoughts.
Last week we were originally going to meet with one of our members but last minute she had to cancel. We had some extra time to contact and that was good. The road that we were on is super busy. People are buying food, going home, or going to work. We had been there for a while and were getting discouraged. Then we start up this conversation with a cute girl in her 20's. We ask her where are you going she tells us I am on my way to work. WE just start sharing with her our purpose and she stops. We end up sharing with her the first lesson. As we shared with her Joseph Smith's first vision I looked at her and could see how she was feeling the spirit. I know that it was the spirit working in her.
Saturday was my favorite day! We were temple tour sisters. I love being able to be so close to the temple. I am grateful for the spirit I feel while I am there. Also miracles abound at the temple.
Our first lesson was with a man at the park. He was super nice. We shared with him about the BOM and the temple. He told us that he has no religion. We were able to get his number and give it to the missionaries in his area.
While we were teaching him we get a call from the temple sisters saying that one of the elders gave them a call telling them that a group of 10 foreigner college students just walked into the chapel wanting a tour. We booked it there.( usually takes 13 got there in 5) We get there and the elder had already started the tour for us so nice. He told us that they are interested in the temple and that they had already shared with them a little about the restoration. We take them up to the temple window and show them the temple book. They had so many good questions. I wish I could remember them. We asked them what made them come in. They responded. We don't see a lot of temples where we come from and we were interested to see what it's all about. I was really impressed. They came from all around the world America, Thailand, Chile, and Mongolia. We used English to teach them.
Later that day we were contacting and we ran into a man. He told us that he had a class. I asked him what time do you get out of class. He told me 5:30. I told him after class could you come to the chapel. He said maybe. I wrote our number on the back of the card and told him to call us when he is on his way. We went to dinner about 5 pm. We finish eating and still had time. However, I get this feeling that we need to go back to the church. We get back and no sooner had we entered the door an elder runs up to us and says a man is looking for you Lei JM. I was like who. The elder goes on to say that you gave him a temple card. It then hits me it's the man.
We were able to give him a great tour! From the time we first meet him to then he had already read the track we gave him. He was like Joseph Smith prayed to God etc. We ended up just focusing on the Temple. He liked learning about that. He gave us his information and we were able to give it to the missionaries in his area!
I love you all! I pray for you every day. I love this work. I love being able to be a representative of Jesus Christ. I love that I can share this true message with the people of Taiwan.
I know that this church is true. I know that God knows each and every one of us. I know that God hears and answers every single pray. I know that he is mindful of us.
Love,
Sister Latimer
