My dad and I picked Araceli up from her orchestra dress rehearsal and returned to Temple Square for a beautiful dusk evening that made the temple glow

| What will I ever do without her?? |
We talked to two sisters earlier in the evening, one from Australia, the other from South Africa. They were incredibly friendly and gave me some great missionary advice. We watched some missionary videos in the Visitors' Center (they're new and located in the very front! They are awesome!) When we walked in I saw the pictures of the missionaries on the outside of the theater room where the videos are projected. I said to my dad "They look really familiar! I think I know them." Then I realized they were the missionaries from The District! The District is an LDS video series that interviews and films a few companionships throughout their service in San Diego California.
After watching the videos, we wandered around the perimeter of the temple, talking about when Araceli would get married. She was thinking eighteen. I said "Araceli. That is in 3 years. NO."
"Oh my gosh! Three years? Okay ya I am not getting married then."
hahahahaha. As we were walking, a sister came hurrying up to us and asked if I was going to Hong Kong. She was from there and had heard the other sisters say that I was indeed called there. When I told her I was speaking Cantonese, she gave me a big smile and a sympathetic hug and said "You can do it!"
I told her I had no experience speaking Chinese and that I took French all through high school. Then her companion said she was from France! Burgundy, France! They were so sweet and so encouraging and excited for me. What a cool tender mercy to meet these two! The Lord truly is mindful of every one of us, at every second.
