This week has been a week of many mini miracles & it's all because of The Book of Mormon & the Spirit helping us in the work!
Last Monday we had another lesson with one of our new friends & taught about the Restoration! AND for the first time ever, I recited the first vision in Karen! I think I totally butchered it but the Spirit was so strong! Joseph Smith really did see our Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ & They really did direct him to establish this church & They really do still direct it today!
In another lesson this week we read the Book of Mormon in English while our friend read in Thai & then we would explain in Karen but we were struggling to explain where to find the chapter we wanted to read since we didn't know Thai! It was a STRUGGLE. But then! Out of nowhere she just found it & was ready to go! Definitely the Spirit.
We got to have more lessons with Dah Wah this week which are always THE BEST. Haha in one of our lessons this week he wasn't really feeling good before & didn't really want to meet that day but we told him we would just be quick & read a little from the Book of Mormon. We got reading & applying it to him & by the end of the lesson he was so happy & didn't want the lesson to end! Haha but what was really cool was that he recognized the difference & told us he wasn't feeling good before the lesson but felt way better then & we were like why do you think that is? And he was like, "Idk the book is good & the Spirit?" YES DAH WAH! Man I love that guy.
We got to give out a TON of copies of the Children's Book of Mormon and normal copies of the Book of Mormon this week which is AWESOME.
We had a kind of funny miracle happen this week where we wanted to call this one older Karen member in the ward & Sister Norton was on the phone & she started calling the wrong number but the person she accidentally called ended up being someone who has been wanting to talk to us for a long time! Definitely not a coincidence! We had a good talk with her & are becoming fast friends :)
We also got to hear several of our Karen members bear testimony about the Book of Mormon this week & those were POWERFUL. Man these people are just so amazing! It always impresses me how strong their testimonies are when they can't even read the Book of Mormon in their native language & the English is so hard to understand but the Spirit still bears testimony to their hearts!
In another lesson this week, we got to read the Book of Mormon with one of our friends and related it to her & it was such a powerful lesson! The spirit was so strong! Man there is so much power in that book!
We had another tender lesson this week again reading the Children's Book of Mormon with a mom & her niece who both speak mainly Karen. As we read the Children's Book of Mormon it was so amazing to see them working together to understand it. At the end of that lesson the mom talked about how she was so grateful that we came & taught her about Joseph Smith & about the Book of Mormon! It was one of the most Spirit filled lessons of my life!
Man oh man I love the Book of Mormon!
I wanted to thank everyone for birthday emails this week! It was a really good day & I am so grateful for your love & support! I love & miss you all & I pray you have a wonderful week!
Love, Sister Freeman ဖီပြံဝါ
