A special teaching experience

Our 86 year old friend that we are teaching prayed in front of us to end a lesson for the first time this week. It was amazing. She has been praying for weeks that her health will improve enough for her to come to church this upcoming sunday and it has been steadily getting better and she is so grateful. Things are looking good. She nearly started crying during her prayer where she mostly just thank Heavenly Father for her health. I love her. She literally has no Christian background at all but her testimony of Heavenly Father's love and prayer is so pure. She's been reading a members old liahona magazine and loves that too. She told us during the last lesson that her daughter is anti which is really sad but I'm so grateful she told us. Her faith and trust is so strong. After telling us her daughter is anti Mormon / anti Christian and telling us that they'd had a discussion about it her conclusion to us was basically "but I feel good about it so I don't care."

She is so cute and sweet. It was only my third time meeting her this past week. We introduced what baptism is to her. She had literally never heard the word before in her life. She was a little confused but we had an amazing member there to explain it better. And the more she asks the more she will be able to receive. ❤  Good reminder to me at least.

3 Ne. 14

7 Ask, and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

8 For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

9 Or what man is there of you, who, if his son ask bread, will give him a stone?

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

 And it's crazy cause we'll be reading stuff in Japanese and she'll have never seen a kanji before in her life and stuff like that. It really is a whole other culture and language in some ways but as she feels the Spirit she feels comfortable. She knows.

Yep, that's my story for this week.

4. On our weekly road trip to our that same friends house who lives ages away we stopped at a convenience store for some lunch. Sister Robertson got these thinking they were onion rings... when she opened the container we realized she thought wrong by the smell. They ended up being squid we're pretty sure.
