Referral from Home

We received a call from our good friend, Darci Hansen a couple of weeks ago. She has a friend, Vicki Sorenson who is now our friend and wanted to know who she knew in New York that could teach a friend of hers who is interested and is quite a "Golden" contact. Darci thought of us and asked us if she could give Vicki our phone number. Vicki told us about her dear friend Malaika. Malaika is a young mother of a little boy Adjan, who is 7. She lost her husband several years ago and loved the idea of families being together for ever. With in a couple of days, we learned about Malaika, she learned about us, we called her and set up an appointment last Friday evening. We were headed down to the city for Doug's Dr appt that day. We contacted the sister Missionaries that are in that area, met up with them for dinner and then took them with us to meet Malaika and Adjan. It was an awesome visit and first lesson. She had lots of good questions. Sister Miller and Sister Roberts were perfect and have taken over teaching Malaika, as they are down in the city and live close by. They were back the next day teaching and then back on Sunday to pick up and take Malaika and Adjan to church. We called Malaika Sunday night to see how church was and the sisters were there again teaching another lesson. An interesting fact is that sister Roberts is a new greenie. She met Malaika on her 2nd day in the mission field. We received a call from Vicki a couple of nights ago telling us that Malaika is getting baptized in January. How exciting is that. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to be instruments for the Lord for a short time. In the process have made three new friends. We are so grateful to have had this unique opportunity and grateful for friends back home who wanted to have us share in this gift of the gospel.
