Life is good out here. It has been a good week. This week we met with a lady name Jalima Schifino. She is an Indian lady who grew up in columbia. She speaks perfect english so we can teach her. She took really well to the first lesson and loved what we had to say. We have an appointment with her tonight and I am so excited to see if she read and prayed about the book of mormon. She told us that she had a dream once that she saw jesus smiling at her and that she felt so good that she ran outside and told everyone she could. A few weeks later her friend sent her a picture of Jesus and it looked the exact same as the jesus in her dream. So she took us back into our house to see the picture and it was awesome, the picture in the back of her house was the exact same picture that is in the front of the Book of Mormon that we gave her. When we Showed her that she just said "thats my jesus, thats my jesus" I am so excited to see how things go with her. I know that if she comes to church she will feel the spirit. And it is interesting that we found her by just tracting into her, we didn't want to go talk to them at all, but the spirit told us to, so we did and now we are teaching her. I am so excited to see how she has done so far.
We are still working a little bit with Chris, But I am concerned that he has started avoiding us. I don't know if work has just gotten really really busy, or that he read anti-material but we havn't gotten a chance to contact him. I think it is truly his work and how busy he has been. His company failed a project at work and since then he has been super super busy.
We are also working with Jean Muse, who is an older lady. She is so wonderful. She doesn't know if she believes what we are bringing to her but she is willing to pray about it. And I know that if she prays about it she will truly receive an answer. So we are so excited to be working with her.
Eric Flaim is another person we are working with here in the ward. He is 13 years old and hasn't been baptised. His family is members but he isn't. I am hoping that he will decide 100% to be baptised. He has a date for December 10 and we are so excited for him. I know that if he keeps making steps forward he will truly be blessed. His older brother as well, Tony, has been asking about receiving the priesthood. He attends a catholic school because the education is really good there, but he doesn't believe the things they teach, and I am helping him understand why those things don't sound right.
We are working with Irene Zedka. She is from Kenya. She is so awesome, she wants to be baptised and have the gift of the holy ghost. She told us that a voice told her that the church was true and that what we brought to here was truly the word of god. It is so exciting to see her progress.
some of the less actives we are working with are the overby's which I have told you about in the past, and bucabals. The bucabals are an awesome philipino family. He was a bishop in the philipines and she was a relief society president. They have such a desire to come back to the gospel, but work makes it so hard. Eveything here is so expensive, it really takes alot of money to live here. It is almost 9000 dollars a year for property tax and they only live on 1/8 of an acre. But gas here is cheaper than utah, the lowest here is 2.49.Elder Timothy L. Flink
