Sacrament.

About one month ago, I was sitting in the English ward during their
fast and testimony meeting. A lot of people got up to share the things
that they knew, but one lady in particular really caught my attention.
As she spoke, nobody could understand her. She spoke Korean and her
friend translated for her.
A few years ago, she had moved to Houston from Korea. When she got
here, her biggest fear is that she wouldn't be able to find an LDS
church to attend. She talked about how she prayed every night that
things would work out. A few days after arriving in Texas, she heard
another lady speaking Korean so they started talking. It turned out
that the other lady was LDS also! Since then, this cute lady has been
coming to church every Sunday. What makes her even cooler is that she
comes despite the fact that she can't communicate with anybody besides
the lady that brings her. She doesn't understand the talks or the
classes, but she comes because she understand the importance of the
Sacrament. There are a ton of Korean churches out here, but she comes
to this one because in no other church can you find this sacred
ordinance performed with the power of God.
Hearing about this experience really caused me to think; would I be
that strong? Does the sacrament have priority in my life? The
sacrament is so special and it is such a privilege that we have to
partake of it every Sunday.
One of my investigators, Marta, was such an example to me just
yesterday as she showed me how important it is to her. She has been up
all night packing her house up to move and had only slept for an hour,
yet she showed up to church 45 minutes early so that she would be on
time and bought a brand new dress so that she could show respect to
her Heavenly Father. Her choices really taught me a lot!
I am so grateful to be out here and I am grateful for my Savior who
made it possible for me to use His Atonement each week.

Love,
