He knows his sheep

And the time soon cometh speedily that the righteous must be led up as calves of the stall, and the Holy One of Israel must reign in dominion, and might, and power, and great glory. And He gathereth his children from the four quarters of the earth and He numbereth his sheep, and they know Him; and there shall be one fold and one Shepherd; and He shall feed his sheep, and in Him they shall find pasture."

1 Nephi 22:24-25

One thing I've learned since I've been on a mission is how much Heavenly Father knows each and every one of us and places us in a position to recieve the Gospel.

Vanessa is still doing amazing. She is progressing extremely well, reading what we ask her to and when we taught her the Word of Wisdom she committed to live it. Unfortunatly she had to go back to the reservation this last weekend and so she wasn't able to go to church. The missionaries on the reservation were in town for a stake conference and so the didn't hold a sacrament service this last week. Kind of a bummer but Vanessa is still doing awesome!

Lacy and Lisa are still being flakey and Lincoln is all set for his baptism this weekend, but the real miracle came last night.

A week or so ago, Elder Larsen and I were trying to contact a referral from several years ago. We tried several times and no answer so we decided to knock on the neighbors door. A pregnant lady who looked to be from the Phillapines answered the door and said that her neighbor had moved. We told her who we were and she became very excited. "I believe in Jesus too!" he told us that she was from Nepal and that we could come back. Last night we finally got back over there and met her husband and some other family that lived there. All of them were very eager to learn and very excited that we were there to teach them more about Jesus. They are all very recent converts to Christianity but don't really have a particular denomination. They agreed to let us teach them about Jesus Christ and the restoration.

Their english was very broken and it was difficult to communicate but they told us that we could keep coming back and even come to their "church" that meets on Sunday. There are a bunch of Nepali people there that all "believe in Jesus!" We ordered some copies of the Book of Mormon in Nepali and hopefully they'll get here soon. We're really excited to be able to teach these wonderful Christian people about the truth that God has revealed. He truely knows his sheep and led us to them. With His help will be able to overcome the language barrier and help these people to come unto Christ!

The church is true!

I love you all so much and hope all is well with you.
