Jakarta: 10 million people, packed bus ways, traffic, people everywhere!! And to think that there are 10 million people.. that means we are in charge of 10 million people to receive the gospel. A LOT OF WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE HERE!! and lemme tell ya, we are working and trying our very best as we white wash this area (aka we are both new, both do not know the area, no investigators, nothing. starting at ground 0 basically!)
First night I got here, I found myself staring up at the skyscrapers, and it started to rain. With a prayer in my heart, I knew that Heavenly Father has prepared people for us here. But the question is- for us whitewashing- WHERE ARE THEY!?!? It has been a real blessing to slowly but surely watch how the Lord has kindly guided us in our actions- although always confused and clueless cuz #barubanget, He has truly been there to help us sisters out.
People come from all over the world to JAKARTA. To work, that is. AND people speak Indo and ENGLISH HERE! I have never used so much English on the mission till Jakarta haha.
1- We met a woman from India, who was open in hearing us explain to her about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
2- We met a man from America, who met with missionaries in Ireland, grew up in Texas with our church across the street from him, saw missionaries in Solo, and has read some of the Book of Mormon.
3- We miss a stop, and end up meeting two lovely young ladies from Kupang. They accepted the Book of Mormon with eager hearts in knowing how they can come closer to our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Talk about no such thing as coincidences. I know Heavenly Father has a divine plan! Everyone NEEDS what we have- that is, the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am thankful every single day to be in Indonesia.. and to be here in the CONTACTING WONDERLAND OF JAKARTA!!!
pray for us as we try to find new investigators this week/ get lost everyday cuz we do not know the area or the busways or anything bahahahhahahahaha
have a blessed week! the Savior loves you so much!!
DENGAN KASIH.
