Dear Family:
Hello from Clinton, Iowa! It has been a great week since I had a mission tour and thanksgiving all in one week. The mission tour with Elder Clarke was very good and he made several promises to us that are truly inspired. Thanksgiving was a good day as well. I had three dinners and they were all very good. I could not move at the end of the day. We also had a miracle happen on Friday. We had a zone meeting that day in Clinton and we went to a chinese buffet for lunch. When the Elders got inside they were greeted by a lady that was very happy to see them. She then invited them to come to her home with her family to pray with them. They recently lost a family member and are Christians. We were able to go teach them but we had to go at 10 pm with a senior missionary couple. The lesson went very well. They had about 11 people there and all but one spoke English. The grandma was the only one that spoke only mandarin. We were able to teach them about the Plan of Salvation and help them realize that they will be able to see there grandpa again. They will be going to New York for the funeral and wont be back until the 9th.
While we were waiting for the family to get there we were able to sit and listen as the Grandma of the family sang a church song in Mandarin. It was very confusing but also very beautiful to listen to. Well that is about it. I would just like to take this time to say that I know that the Plan of Salvation is real. It is one of the many things that I love about this church. I know that it is something that has blessed us all and can help many others that have lost a loved one, especially children. I love you all!
Sincerely;
Elder Spencer Ariotti
