Hey Family!
It was so good to hear from y'all today :) I love email time so
much!! Pdays are always awesome!!! It has been another great week. I have seen the Lord's hand time and time
again in this work. I started keeping a miracle journal this week and
already I love looking back on it and seeing all the miracles and tender
mercies!! I think it would be awesome if you guys could start a miracle
journal so that you can see all the miracles you are receiving while
Jae and i are serving :)
Thank you so much for that AWESOME Thanksgiving package!! It was so
awesome. Thanks MaKey for the suprise in the balloons!! I feel so
blessed to have such a wonderful family who loves and supports me. You
guys are THE BEST!!! Thanks so much for feeding the missionaries because
we have seen the blessings here in ABUNDANCE!!!! We had a dinner
appointment everyday last week and we have them everyday this week too!!
Wow... we even had two dinner appointments last night... We were so
stuffed!!! I guess that is just preping us for Thanksgiving this week. I
hope that you all enjoy your time with the family. Sounds like it is
going to be lots of fun!!
Can you believe that a year ago from tomorrow
I was diagnosed with diabetes...It feels like it has been so much
longer than a year, but I am so grateful that I am able to manage my
diabetes and have the supplies to do so! What a blessing that is in my
life!
One of the miracles we saw this week was as we were going through
the ward list and visiting less actives. We only had a few minutes so we
hurried and picked a name in our area. We met a really nice couple who
has been married for 5 years. She is from P and she wasnt
able to get a visa until just recently so they have spent the last 4
years of their marriage separated. In September she was able to join him
here. We shared a Book of Mormon story with them and asked them what
goals they have for their lives. One of their goals is to be sealed in
the temple. We promised them that if they came to church they would be
able to progress towards going to the temple together... Guess what?
They came to church this week and it was SO AWESOME!!!!!! Next step,
temple prep!! :)
This week the Korean branch put on an AWESOME musical fireside. The
talent that the Korean elders have is so AMAZING!!! One of the Elders
played in the Utah Symphony and the other one is going to play in
Carnagy Hall someday. When we meet together for district meeting every
week the elder sits down at the piano and we all shout out hymns we want
to hear him play. You can even choose two and he will mash them
together on the spot. It is SO AMAZING and so beautiful. We had invited a
few investigators to the fireside, but none of them came. We wanted to
stay so bad because we knew it was going to be an awesome program but
we werent' allowed stay unless we were able to get investigators there. (
If we dont have investigators or a responsibility at
activities/firesides our mission president would rather have us out
working/tracting instead) We were just about to leave when the Elders
asked us to sing in the program. It was the EFY Medley of As Sisters in
Zion and We'll Bring the World His Truth. We agreed and we ran through
it one time with everyone and then sang it at the end of the program. It
was so beautiful and I loved all of the music. I wish you guys could
have heard it!!
The work here is going great! I love it so much!! I know that this
the place that I am meant to be right now. I hope that you all have a
great week and a great Thanksgiving... Have fun with family football :)
Love you!!!
Love, Sister Gillett :)
