7-24-17 - MY HMONG IS GETTING BETTER

July 24, 2017 

Nyob Zoo!! 

Hello from the greatest mission on the planet Earth!! This week has been fun!

Elder Bagley and i picked up 3 new investigators this week! 

'Pao' and 'Mee' we found while contacting in an area where a former investigator used to live! We eventually set up an appointment with Pao (turns out he lives where the former investigator we were looking for used to live) and went back and had a great lesson! I understood most of the first part of the lesson! Pao kept going back from Hmong to English, but even when he spoke in Hmong, I was able to understand what he was saying for the majority of it! It was awesome! The rest of the lesson I didn't understand all that much but it still went well! We hope to get Pao and his wife to church this week, seeing as they only have 1 bike to work with!! 

We also got to go the Chowchilla this week to do an Interlude teaching at a baptism they were having. Guess who was there! President and Sister Mackay! It was so good to see them! The really are just so awesome! I believe later that night we were talking with those same sister missionaries from Chowchilla and turns out, they had been starting to teach a part member Hmong family!!! We quickly asked for the address and were fortunate enough to be able to go down there yesterday and pick up one of the non members in that household! Her name is Kathy, her husband is in the air force and apparently is a less active member!

Kathy is super cool! She is still kind of deciding if she wants to convert from Christianity or stick with Shamanism. It looks like she is definitely leaning towards Christianity. Especially because she ALREADY talks about being baptized. We are super excited to keep teaching he rand meet her husband this Friday, he's up in Oregon right now.

That's about it for this week though!  love you all!
