Hello! January 20, 2017

Hello! Sorry for the lack of emails the last couple of weeks! Everything is going well here! I only have a little bit of time today so this email will be short!

Remember the glass eye guy Lee? We set a date for his baptism! He is scheduled to be baptized on February 18th! He is so sweet. :)

We switched our P-Day to today so we could go to them temple. Sister Richardson and Sister Ching slept over at our apartment last night and that was a lot of fun! :) We went as a district and there happened to be 3 other districts there too! It was so good. The temple is such an amazing place where the spirit is so strong. I'm so grateful for the temple. :)

The church is true! I love you all! I'll send a bunch of pictures to make up for this short email.

This random guy we contacted outside gave us this 1905 Book of Mormon! He said, "I'm an atheist. I have no use for it. And you guys are into it so you can just have it." So cool!

Mom notes: So, I want to explain more about this old Book of Mormon. Brooklyn sent us a video telling us all about it. When they were out and about they stopped and started talking to this man on the street. After a while he asked them if they were Mormons. They said yes and he told them he had been cleaning out his Aunt's apartment and there were tons of old books. One of them was a really old Book of Mormon. The girls asked if they could see it next time they were in the area. He told them if they waited he'd go get it now. He brought it out and I think he could see how excited they were and told them he wanted them to have it. He said he was an Atheist and felt like they should have it since they were into that sort of thing! They asked him if he was sure because it was worth some money. He said yes and that he had plenty of other old books he could sell and gave it to Brooklyn! She's pretty happy about it and I think she will value it as a wonderful memory of her mission.
