So, this was my first full week in Sacramento. It's really hot.... we sweat just standing in the sun sometimes. But, it's really nice weather!

So, some really cool stories from this week...At the beginning of the week we accidentally met an Arabic family. We knocked on the door expecting a Spanish family but they had moved apparently. Anyways, we told them that we were missionaries and before we could say another word they invited us into their home and brought us water in these beautiful glases on a beautiful tray! We were so surprised! The mom and dad didn't speak much enlgish or understand it very well but their little boy who is 7 knew some english and translated for us. So we taught a quick lesson and were about to leave but the father asked for a healing blessing. He had been hit by a bomb in Syria and his family was refugies from there. So the next day we went back and gave him a blessing. It was in english so I'm not sure how much he understood but, after, the mom was crying and they were all smiling! We haven't seen them since but they are just the sweetest family. It's cool to know that the Spirit speaks all languages. 


I'm short on time and will write more next week. 
Love You,
Hermana Poulsen
