I had the profound privilege of helping two sister missionaries on Friday March 4th. It all 
started when I wrote my name on a list saying that I would help the missionaries if they ever needed me. Well Friday they needed me. They said they needed a 3rd sister to help teach. I didn’t know why they would need three sisters, but I accepted with pleasure. I went to the designated place, a church house at 6:55 pm (7:00 was the designated time) and called them to ask where we were meeting. They said they were not there yet so we decided that I would just wait in the parking lot for them.

A few minutes later this guy pulled up beside me and sat in his car for a moment, not wanting to be seen in my “car” by this very handsome guy, I got out and started playing with my cell phone. He went into the church and then came back out and stood around. I wondered if I should talk to him but decided not to. At around 7:20 the sister missionaries showed up. I introduced myself and then the cute guy came over. That is when I found out his name, we will call him Zack, and that he was also waiting for the missionaries. I also found out that Zack was there to translate because the investigator, we’ll call him Jack, is Korean and is still learning English. While walking around looking for jack, we talked and got to know each other. At 7:45 we decided to finish waiting. We stood and talked for another minute and all of the sudden, there he was! Jack! We were really happy to see him. He was really surprised to see an American speak Korean. We found an empty room and proceeded to teach jack. I was pretty nervous when I was asked to say anything, but the spirit was so 
strong that I knew I would be okay. We talked obout the book of mormon, and the prophets form 1000 years ago to today, and Jesus Christ, of course. I also became very fond, to say the least, of Zack. He is a returned missionary, obviously, and to see him teaching was so amazing, it made him that much more attractive in my eyes. I don’t know the last time that I had such a spiritual experience. It was a very spirit led discussion. I learned things and I knew that Jack was learning to. What and amazing feeling. I am SO grateful for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I can’t wait to go teach him again and feel that great spirit. And thank you to all the men and women who could serve missions and did. i love missionary work.
