Getting Chilly!

What a great week. And it is starting to get chilly! It is like a whopping 75 degrees here! Haha I had to wear socks and a sweater for my studies all week!
In other more important news, I just know that these transfers were divinely directed. With Sister C, we were able to meet 2 non-members FINALLY that we had been searching for the past 7 weeks. For both, we just kind of ran into them! God's hand is in everything. I can feel the miracles coming! Faith faith faith!

On the first day of transfers, Sister C and I were working the morning shift at the Visitors' Center. A man came in with his mom, and we found them looking at the Romanian Book of Mormon at the display that we have. I asked him if he was familiar with the Book, and he said that he was. He was familiar with the church, and had been studying it a little. He asked, "can I buy this book from you?" Sister C and I both smiled and we said we would love to give him a copy for free. We gave them a copy in Romanian, and explained to them more about the Temple and Joseph Smith. We explained the restoration of the Gospel, and he was very open to listening. Before they left, we showed him and his mom the Christmas video, He is The Gift, and he said he knew that God brought him to us that day, and that there was no such thing as coincidences. He left his contact information, and I am excited to continue to teach him about the church.

I also finally found out about the results of a miracle tour we gave a few weeks ago. I saw some elders from the island in Mililani (we were at a mission tour on Sunday) and they came up and thanked me for giving the tour and told me that the man was gettting baptized this week! It was such amazing news to hear, because that man came from a part member family, and now in 1 year he can be sealed in the temple with his wife :) And that just makes me happier than anything. I wish I could attend his baptism.

I am so grateful to be here at the Hawaii Temple Visitors' Center, serving the Lord, and serving on campus at BYUH. Every day I meet someone that amazes me, and teaches me by their example and life. Be that light. Smile and share your love with strangers. We all need a little scattered sunshine in our lives.
