SOMOS MISIONARES!


Hello again family and friends... Tis' another week in SeaTac...
A few wonderful memories from the weekk...
-The McDonalds drive through lady's name is Maria, and we gave her a pass along card... she also gave us some memoral quotes such as "... Wow, you guys come here in the morning AND at night??" and.. "See ya tomorrow!".... slightly embarrassing.. slightly touching to the heart...
-Elder Fullmer got a package from his Mother, and she didn't write a note... pretty funny.. pretty sad.. haha
-Our Investigator children have a shrine of all the different passalong cards pinned on the wall.. I'll try and snatch a picture..
-One of the kids quoted Joseph Smith's first vision.. not verbatim.. but impressively..
-Sister Wie speaks french... now I want you to imagine this.. She's Vietnamese, with an awesome Vietnamese accent.. now imagine french coming from that accent.. and in Buddhist terms, you've reached Nirvana.. (Nirvana came from Seattle you know..)
-Brother Smith came downstairs a few nights ago.. told us something Sister Wie was crackin open (A jack fruit?) made the whole upstairs smell like baby poop... it was true.
-! OH ! Sister Wie gave us some yellow Water melon... so wierd.. taste like Red, BUT IT'S YELLOW... very asian
-.... Sister Floydd made us dinner yesterday, and gave us "all you can eat cupcakes"... holy cow is all I can say. I'm going to be so fat.
-OH and-- wait.. probably not appropriate, ask later. haha
......
Ok- Some more serious notes.. and stories and testimonies of mine own...
The Work is well. I'm still shall we say 'under the weather'?... which means periodical naps, moaning, complaining about not getting enough mail (.. C'mon guys..) haha... and then of course studying adn praying.. much needed study and prayer.. it was good. We were still productive and got 4 people to church! Our families still love us, and we found another Burmese family (That actually speaks Burmese) to teach! Life is good.. ALSO- I got a sweet Shirt from the Karen people, they literally made it themselves, by hand.. with wood and string.. or something.. and They said they would make me a man skirt so life is good..--Oh- RIght, this is the serious portion.. haha, OK.. Well, some of the cool moments, Christ Hai prayed in english that her parents would let her get baptized, at the end of our lesson. and as she was interpreting for me, she mouthed "ASK IF I CAN BE BAPTIZED" haha.. It's so crazy how well they are doing. They ASK for scripture chapters to read, and they are so sensitive to the spirit. :) Beautiful.. D&C 18 is legit.
On another note..
Last night I got to accompany one of the reactivated/recentconverts, that I worked with in Burien, to recieve their Patriarchal Blessing... WOW AMAZING.. To be able to see them swing from one end of the spectrum to here.. is spectacular.. They told me they wanted me at their sealing, so I'm stoked :)... such a beautiful pure spirit as they spoke of their potential and strengths.. :) legit.. also, The Patriarch, Patriarch Nelson, gives a sweet lesson on the Blessings prior to-- I loved it. Life is good
Nothing is more touching than someone from your previous area saying they miss you. I'm so humbled to be in the situation I am in. I'm so excited to make more connections here in SeaTac.. Life is good! I love the Lord.. especially when I'm feeling sick and frustrated. I'm doing my best. Keep writing me everyone.. I love hearing from everyone. :)
-Love always, Elder Hill



p.s. Yes, All the Burmese children DO call me Sensei.. :)
