The TV Sitcom Family

Last night we had the Cho Family and the Sister Missionaries over for dinner...The Cho's are from Korea, and have recently come to Canada to learn English. We met them last week through the Sisters who have been teaching English lessons. Their children and Dallyn & Alex are the same ages and the kids have become instant friends. It was wonderful to have them in our home and the language barrier was never an issue :). They commented that we seem like a fun, close family...like a "TV sitcom family" (this made Grant & I both laugh).

At the end of the evening the Sister Missionaries shared a short message and asked the question "How do we know we have a loving Heavenly Father?" A couple of us shared simple ways that we know. Then the subject of faith came up. Sujin, whose family has had no knowledge of Christianity or God or Jesus Christ, asked in broken English, What is this faith? and How do I know when I have faith? Bailey answered with a simple explanation: Faith is something that we believe in that we don't see or touch. We all have different levels of faith, something we must each work on. We must first believe and then ask Heavenly Father to help us know that what we are doing is right. That usually comes in a warm feeling in our heart or a feeling of peace and calm....(I guess early morning Seminary is a good thing ;)

I love the spirit that the Cho family brought into our home and the fact that friendship has no language barrier.
