Kwun Tong 17

Last week's miracles were overwhelming, we had five people show up to church! I have never seen so many in my whole mission so far!! So we got to grab members to go on splits to different rooms afterwards and teach some of them after church!

And we have been given overwhelming amound of new investigators and the Lord really has been blessing us with so many teaching pool for our Summer Missionaries it seems!

I know I don't deserve even the half of all the blessings and miracles we are experiencing right now, it really humbles me, this really is the Lord's work.

Last Sunday we also had planned a Consecrated Finding time from 3 to 5 from our weekly planning, and we felt a bit confused because we had already so many new investigators more than we could handle, and was even debating if we were willing to still go even though we "don't need it", I feel very hurt or sad from even having that thought come across, I repented,,Of COURSE the Lord still wants us to go and has planned something specific for us in that time. We are so quick to forget and be weakened in faith. Anyways,

we planned to go finding in Kowloon Bay during that time and we prayed together to seek the Lord's forgiveness and seek His comfort and confirmation to still go finding, Then, He gave us a prompting: Michelle lives in Kowloon Bay, why don't you go visit her and perhaps you will meet her little sister?

I was very excited and nervous at that thought during the prayer, we have been wanting to meet Michelle, who is a recent convert, her non-member little sister for many weeks and it just never worked, she wouldn't come to meet us for any activities or anything. But we told Michelle about our prompting, she then immediately called home to ask her little sister who IS home if that's ok. She said that she would be bringing some people home for surprise. :)

Then Hoi King said we should also visit her home and meet her family, who still doesn't know she has been baptised and she had been avoiding to let them know because they would be very upset to find out. But she has got a job this past week that required her to work on some Sundays and if she were to quit her family will have to know why. But we fasted with her on Sunday--all four of us missionaries. And she talked to her boss again and he didn't have problem of giving her sundays off in addition to the two weeks she already has asked for days off for when she becomes a summber missionary!!!

So we split, me and my summer missionary sister Yam went with Michelle, and then Sister Cook and her summer missionary sister Lee were going to go with HoiKing when the phone rang and Suki wanted to come see us now! So we decided to go ahead and they could stay and teach Suki and go over to Hoi King's later.

So when we visited Michelle's home, her little sister was there, and despite her big interest in Korea and our excitements to meet her, she was very shy? or anti-social about it all and just walked into her room and shut the door, we then just stood there wondering "Dim Syun" like,, "what now? What do we do?" Then she came back out and I just straight forward told her I am here to meet and get to know her and we had her sit with me and we just talked, or, she didn't want to talk so I talked and she listened,,,

But, something amazing happened, she started to ask really good questions, she loves to read and she seems like a thinker, and asked some deep questions that Michelle being a recent convert didn't know how to answer. But we answered them through the plan of Salvation and invited her to learn more. Because God loves us nomatter who we are or what we do. and always is inviting us to learn of His truth so we can have answers and peace and assurance and guidance in this life and eternal happiness in the next life. And I asked her if she would be willing to learn of it herself, and meet with us missionaries and she said yes. She even agreed to come to Sports Night on Friday evening and is even bringing a friend! We are so excited!!!!!!!! And by this time she finally let me know what her English name was! She was unwilling to let us know for some reason,, and so her name is Debby and we are very excited for her, and for Michelle, and for the Lord!!! So looking forward to Friday :) :)

Anyways, it was really a miracle, that Consecrated finding we plan during our weekly planning with the Lord really is true, and if we are faithful to it we will really be blessed. That meeting with Debby lasted exactly 3 to 5. In Kowloon Bay. We knew we had to go to Kowloon Bay at 3 to 5 and find someone, and we really did!

Mission is so full of miracles like this, but I sometimes wonder and believe, it's not that there are more miracles in the mission than anyother time in our life, maybe that's true, but I believe that it really is happening every day anywhere and everywhere, it all just simply depends on our planning and learning to recognize them more.

I love the Lord so much, and I wish I could help everyone know how Awesome He is, and share all these miracles with everyone,

well, I must go now, but I love you all so very much,

always,

Sister Burningham
