HI!!
Okay, so we have limited time to
write today but there are a few things I want to share :)
First of all, I LOVE working in the
Visitors Center every night! It's awesome! I love seeing the Sister's every day
and meeting tons of new people! In fact, one of my stories this week is from a
night at Festival! It was towards the end of the night when I noticed this man
sitting in front of the Christus, staring off into space and fiddling with a
program. I felt that I needed to talk to him so I walked over and asked if
anyone had played the Christus narration for him. He said that would be nice to
listen to and thanked me. So I turned it on and sat next to him. There's a time
in the narration when it says "Let not your heart be troubled" and
the Spirit whispered "Help him!" So after it finished, he started to
stand while thanking me, and I stopped him. I said, "I don't normally ask
this in the Visitor Center, but what can I do to help you?" Then I noticed
he was crying. He said, "I'm just very troubled, and I need God in my
life." then he continued to tell me that he's been in the church for a
number of years, and something about "going where the Lord takes me".
And I was about to start bearing my testimony and he stands up and literally
runs out of the building. And it just really tore my heart apart! I felt like I
needed to help this man, but that I hadn't. I really just was not a peace with
it at all. Then 20 minutes later, as I was talking to the Director of the Visitors
Center, he came back in! He found me and said, "I wanted to apologize for
being foolish. I came in here seeking help tonight, and when you offered to
help, I turned you down. Will you pray for my family?" He then gave me his
name, his wife's name, and his phone number. He didn't give me any specifics
but I was so happy to see him take that step of faith and turn to the Lord
while asking for help! Truly it was the highlight of my week!

Second thing! A big thank you to
everyone who has agreed to help me out with Sister Wong's Christmas gift :) I
really appreciate it, and I'm sure she will to :) You are all so amazing!!
Next! I have been out on my mission
for exactly 3 months today! That's 1/6 of my mission! That's insane, isn't it!?
I can't believe how weird time is on the mission!
Anyway, I love you all! Thank you
for your love and support!
Love, Sister Bullock
