So I got my flight plans home.  I cried.  So let's not talk about ok? :)

It’s been a long week with lots of good, busy days, and a few days when everything cancelled and I felt like I was back in Penang or Singapore or something.  Yesterday was the worst.  ALL appointments fell through and an investigator called and dropped us over the phone.  (Plus I was just tired.  I’ve been so tired lately.  Constantly.  I couldn't figure out why, and then I realized it might just be the whole "oh I’ve been on a mission for almost 16 months.  Maybe that's why" deal.)  But, law of compensation....we got a new investigator at the end of the night without even doing anything.  He just walked up to us and said he wants to learn and be baptized.  So not so much a rugi afterall.

Jung is still doing awesome.  She’s coming to church this week.

We had a lesson on the plan of salvation at Acha's house and almost 20 people were there in the room, sitting and listening.  It was awesome.  It’s been cool to see the changes in that family and to see that other members of the family notice it too.  That’s the reason we continue to get more members of the family just coming up to us and saying they want to learn too and be baptized also now.  It’s amazing how the light of the gospel literally shines and brings others in like that.  Seven of them will be getting baptized next weekend.  Then another group in July.  Asen is having problems getting work off to come to church, so we've had to push his date to July also.

I’m sorry i don't have time to share the other cool experiences we've had this week.  Ok…ok maybe have time for one.  So we were faith finding and planning on going to another neighbourhood, but then I felt like we should pray and start before we got there, and find on the way too.  So we prayed and told Heavenly Father our plans.  We turned down the street and started talking to this lady.  She wasn't budging but as we kept getting to know her, she invited us inside.  We were looking at pictures on her book shelf and what do you know, a Book of Mormon was sitting by her bible.  She didn't remember where she got it, but she reads from it occasionally.  We shared a verse with her and she liked it!  So we're headed back at the end of the week to explain more about the book :)  Miracles all around.
I love you all and hope you're doing well.  Cheers!
