wow what a week!
The work has really started to pick up this week and we have seen some pretty cool miracles!!
We were able to meet with our investigator Timothy this week and he is awesome! He understands the lessons we teach and loves the Book of Mormon so teaching him is so fun. In our lesson this week we invited him to be baptized in October and he said yes! He is such a miracle. We now have 3 baptismal dates (miracle!!!) and it honestly just shows that God is SO involved in this work. We really can't do this without him.
This week we had a another huge miracle! Sister Zhang and I were in the city on Monday for our District Meeting and we have FHE Monday nights, so we always just spend the entire day in the city. Well we had some time so we went out GQing in the city, and we met Anna! She seemed super interested and we were able to bring her back to our church and give her a chapel tour!! THEN she was able to meet with us on Thursday and holy cow she is soo amazing and SO PREPARED. The lesson was awesome and she has HEAPS of questions so she is more than willing to continue to meet with missionaries and learn more. She also came to all 3 hours of church on sunday which was insane!! She is the cutest and it was a little hard referring her to our zone leaders, BUT we will still be able to see her on Sundays and at activities so I'm not complaining! Being able to meet and teach people like her (even if it was just one lesson) is what makes this work so great!
We also did exchanges with our STLs this week and it was so much fun. I was with Sister Patchell (an American!!!) and it was awesome to talk to her and learn from her! It has been a while since I have had "small talk" in English and it was just an awesome exchange!
After a transfer or 2 of struggling, being discouraged and feeling that we weren't having success or making progress, it is amazing to see that because we kept trying and stuck with it, Heavenly Father is blessing us soo much. Like it says in D&C "after much tribulation come the blessings". This work isn't easy, but it is soo worth it. I love being a missionary!
Thanks for the support, love and encouragement.
love you all and miss you.
have a good week

| Lost a FHE game and had to drink a V8 mixed with tabasco sauce and hot chili sauce. Sister Johnson thought it tasted gross but Elder Yang said he liked it. |
