Last Sunday

Well today is our lat Sunday at an English speaking church and our last Sunday in Utah, USA.  I really have a lot of mixed emotions going through my self.  I know what we are doing is right and it is what we are suppose to be doing .  I know all the right answers, but it is still a little hard.  The flight over there scares me a little, and going into through customs terrifies me a lot.  Again I know all the right answers, you will be guided and such.   I guess it is my own faith  that I need to strengthen. It reminds me of a phase in a song sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven.  Well I just wish they would come without any work on my part!  I know every one wishes us the best and I know your prayers are with us, it is just hard to put all that in action again on my part. I will make it----- I will make it ------I will make it through the next couple of days, I will make it though the next couple of days.  The sun always comes up and Gods Loves us and Christ is our Savior these are unchangeable trues and I will make it.

Our stay at the MTC is nearing an end.  We have classes all day Wednesday and a few on Thursday (3/22/12).   We will leave for home mid-day Thursday and spend a few days home before we fly out on the 27th.
We celebrated our anniversary (March 20th) and took a few photos.  You can see them below:

Our room






1 down and 1/2 of a week to go

Well hurray the first week is over!  We learned a lot, we have practiced giving missionary lessons to potential members to part member families and learned what to do when we meet with the leadership of the branch where we are going to live.
We have been to language classes and tried to learn the alphabet.  We are pretty much a lost cause but we are trying.  My greatest joy this week was to hear Richard's church voice.  I didn't realize how much comfort it gives my inner self to hear it, I almost cried because of the peaceful feeling that came over me.  I now know that it is his choice too to be here.  We are realizing everyday that we are going exactly where God wants us to go and really where we are needed the most. I do know that we are God's children, that He has a great plan for us, and if we fallow that plan He has even greater blessings than we can imagine.  I guess I'm sounding like a missionary.  The MTC worked it's magic.   Cictra Meng

Elder Meng hard at work

Well, we Made it we are at the MTC in Provo.  The latest catastrophe was that our sprinkle system at home sprung a big leak.  Thanks to Logan City we were notified just in time to get it fixed before we left.  I really do think we were blessed in that we were able to fix it before it became a big problem that no one would ever see and remain a problem for a long time and becoming worse over time.  The weather is great in Provo in fact we keep saying we are too hot.  Most of the other senior missionaries here are going to Nauvoo. When we introduced our selves and said where we are going you should have heard the Oh I'm so sorry for you comments.  Then they all said they would pray for us.  So It will be great cause we will have more prayers said in our behalf.  Well of course you all know we will need them the most any way. I do want everyone to know that both Elder Meng and I do have a confirming  feeling of this is our place of service and that the Lord for some unknown reason wants us there and wants us there now at this time.  We are excited and trilled to be here.
