HOLLA! I just wrote my weekly letter to president Day and I got pumped because this week was full of miracles.
It's weird because you can have a week that is awesome and totally not at the same time. New investigators come into the picture and it's a thrilling things, but other ones sometimes leave. And it breaks your heart. That has happened recently. I just wish these people knew how much we love them and more importantly how much God loves them and how this will bless their life. I don't understand why they won't put in the effort just to know if its true. It takes effort, but it's worth it!
Anyway some of the miracles this week. We found nine new investigators. That means we had a lesson with them and they are willing (and set a specific time) to meet with us again. Every one we talk to is a miracle really.
Something really exciting though, after three months of visiting their home and teaching this girl who is now a member (who's sister was already a member) their mom finally agreed to meet with us. We met her yesterday. The lesson went so well. I love her so much!
Also, just the other day (Saturday evening) I started talking to a woman at a stop light. I eventually pulled out a tract about families to give her. When she took it she started asking questions about the church and when church is. The light turned green so I asked her to pull over. (: We started talking. She didn't have tons of time right then but said she'd like to come to church. We testified something about having a living prophet to guide our families and she asked what a prophet was. I asked if we could find a time to meet with her family. She said we could and that she'd try to come to church the next day. We got her phone number and gave her ours. She didn't make it to church the next day, but I'll call her today for sure! Miracle. A family. We're shooting for eternity here (:
Another miracle:
We wanted to find a family so we went to an area said a prayer and spoke to the first pregnant woman we found. She is due next month, but she said she is buddhist and her husband is catholic. This is their first child so they want to find some agreement when it comes to religion. She said all of her siblings are Christian and her parents told her if she wants to change too it's okay. She was glad to take a Book of Mormon and said that it looked easier to understand than the bible. We explained briefly what it was and asked if we could meet her family. She said of course, but they are going south to have the baby. She said that in August things will have settled down again and we can definitely find a time to visit. I have faith for her and her family.
Oh random news: I bumped my leg on a scooter engine at a stoplight the other day when I was walking my bike forward... burned it. It's not too bad though.
Also, my companion have started a body beautiful program. It's hard core. Cross fit. We are super sore. Between that and biking everyday we are well on our way to being super good looking and having beautiful bodies. HOLLA!
It's fun.
I wish I could explain everything that goes on out here. There's so much always. I'll send pictures. We've also set a goal to take a picture a day. So hopefully I'll have exciting things to send to you each week.
Things are busy. Chinese is hard, but I think my chinese is improving daily. Good good good.
LOVE YOU ALL!
