Tues March 7: TodayI was able to serve with elder Biggs for a few hours due to meetings our companions had. Three people committed to be baptized on specific dates today! It was crazy
Wed March 8: Typical missionary day. Met some people and taught some
lessons.
Thurs March 9: Today we met some people in front of their house
and they had a bunch of puppies! It was way cool because they live right in
front of the National Guard base and while we were there talking with them
three fighter jets took off right on top of us!!!
Fri March 10: We received a "special ops missionary"
today!! Brother Pass is a high school senior who was a missionary with us for
three days. He already has his missionary papers turned in. He came with us to
see what the life of a missionary is like. He doesn't speak Hmong so he was
struggling sometimes hahaha but it’s okay!
Sat March 11: Today we met an AMAZING woman named oo vaj (ong
vang)! We knocked on a potential investigators house and they said they didn't
believe in God but she knew someone who did. She walked us over to her aunt's
(ong vang) house. Ong was so happy to see us. She told us she believed in God
and loved Him so much. She was so happy that we could read scriptures with her
(she can’t read) and teach her about God that she started crying in joy. It was
an amazing experience.
Sun March 12: We met a Vietnam war veteran today! He is an older
Hmong man who fought for the CIA in their secret military operation in Laos. He
would fight the Vietnamese supply routes in Laos during the Vietnam War in
order to help the US. This was extremely dangerous because all Hmong people who
helped the US were hunted down and murdered even up until the early 2000's. He
was able to flee to the US through the UN. It was super cool to hear all his
stories!!
