你好!!!  

Good morning! How are we all. 

This one is going to be another short one -  sorry bout that!

The beginning of the week on Tuesday we tried something I never thought I would do on my mission. For those of you who don't know we aren't allowed to knock doors out here on our mission because of the giant skyscrapers with the guards. My mom and family gave me an idea to go and visit the guards and give them a treat. Personally, I am terrified of these guards but we got some cards that the church is sending out with #ThroughChrist. We wrote on the back of them have a good day and taped suckers to them and we went out. 

The idea we had was to try and go to the buildings our members live in and talk to the guards there first. The first guard was a woman who was super confused that we weren't there to visit anyone but to ask if we could give her a card. She was super confused and told us to put it on her desk. Then she escorted us out of the building ha. 

The second Guard was more willing and excepting of our little card and he was happy for it. He kept nodding his head saying thank you and then we left. 

The third guard was the best one yet. He asked who are you here to visit. We said we are here to visit you! He was a little shocked and when we talked to him. He said wait you want to visit me? And we said yes and we want to give you a card that says have a great day and a sucker on it. He was ecstatic to receive it and was so happy. He told him if he needed help with anything he could call us and we went on our way. 

The lesson I learned from this was that as missionaries we don't have enemies out here. The guards are an obstacle, but they are God's children to and maybe they are the ones who needed a visit for once. 

We also had someone come to church for the first time in a long time and it was absolutely amazing! A true blessing from the lord! 

Have a great week love you all! 

Love ya!

Yours in Fellowship and Love,󾓭🐲🐼✌🍜
