Ni Hau!
Transfers happened and I am so sad that Sister Bryuzgina and I were separated. I can't even imagine life without that little Ruski. Well... this summer will be a repeat of last summer. I will be doing Mandarin tours again! I am now a district leader and my new companion is Sister Tsang from Hong Kong. She was actually born and lived much of her childhood in New Castle, England so she is an Asian with a British accent-- way cool. We just got together a couple of hours ago and we have already taken a Cantonese tour and a Mandarin tour.
This has been a good and crazy week and I just keep getting more and more tired. I am still in the Beehive House this transfer and I am really excited. It is my most favorite assignment so far. We see awesome miracles in the Beehive House. I am really going to miss taking Russian tours. Sister Bryuzgina's new companion is from Switzerland. She actually took over New Iberia when I left to come back to the Square. First she took over my area and now my trainee so I trust her a lot and I know Heavenly Father does as well!

This morning we did a Cantonese tour for a sweet family from Calgary, Canada. The grandma doesn't speak English so that's why it was a Chinese speaking tour. During the tour we focused on families and the temple. The spirit was present throughout the tour and it was such a good feeling! They were so excited about everything they were learning and were so prepared. We asked them if they were interested in learning more and without hesitation they said yes! I just fell in love with the family throughout the tour and can't wait to teach them over the phone.
Yesterday Sister Bryuzgina and I had a miracle! We met a couple from San Diego who came to Utah specifically to see the different temples here! They have some distant relatives who were members of the church. We took them around in the Beehive and they loved learning about the family values of the church and they both felt that it was so important! Both Sister B and I felt impressed to focus the lesson on the Book of Mormon. We talked about it and bore our testimony and they said, "We really want to have a copy." So.. we gave it to them and they also wanted to learn more about the church. They are excited to get a call from us. We just need to get them with missionaries and they will be golden!
We also met an amazing Native American family from the Farmington, NM area this week! I just loved being with them because it made me feel at home. They were excited when I told them I have family there. I was able to relate to them a lot since I am familiar with that area and they are familiar with Eagar. The family consisted of a single mother and her five kids. When she was younger she was in foster care and lived with an LDS family in Salt Lake City. So she came here with her kids to try and find them. She went to our church for a few years but didn't end up staying active in the church as an adult. But she and her kids loved the tour and fell in love with Temple Square. They even ended up referring and wanting to learn more. They can't wait to meet with the local missionaries. There were just so many miracles in mine and Sister Bryuzgina's last week together.

I am loving Temple Square. The summer is just getting busier and I am starting to feel the stress of it all! Mandarin tours are very demanding but I love it! I can't wait to see the fam in two weeks. It is going to make my day.
Love, Sister Park
