Letter on May 12th

Hey Everyone!!

This week was amazing.  Saturday was the best day ever. We witnessed
so many miracles.  I was on exchanges in Rego Park with Sister Mckee
and we decided to go stop by a less actives home.  She wasn't home and
right as we got out of the car it started raining super hard. We were
SOAKING.  Sister Mckee looked at me and said, " Sister Robertson this
could be a miracle moment... maybe its raining because there is a door
on this street we need to knock and they will only let us in if we are
wet!" So we said a quick prayer to be guided, turned the street and
knocked. The very first door we knocked let us in! A Chinese woman
Sophia answered and right away she told us she had been searching and
praying to find a church.  Say what?! It was the SO cool.  The best
part was right as we were leaving the rain stopped. It was pretty
incredible.

Then that same day... Like 4 hours later Sister Board and I went to
visit a less active. She wasn't home but I felt super prompted to make
the 40 minute trip out to see her so I was a little confused. As we
were walking back we ran into a woman we talked to earlier in the week
on the bus, Athira. She recognized us and asked if we had time to
teach her right then. We taught the restoration and it was the most
incredible lesson. She just moved here two months ago after graduating
from Duke and has been working in the hospital. She got teary and told
us shed had a rough week and was so glad she ran into us.  We gave her
a Book of Mormon and that night she texted us saying shed been reading
some and asked what to wear to church. Such a neat experience.  Sister
Board and I have had a permagrin ever since.  We are so excited to
start working with her.  This really is the Lords work and I feel so
privilege to be able to participate in it and witness miracles.  I
have never been happier.  I love being a missionary.  I miss you all
and hope you have a great week!

Love, Sister Robertson
