Guess what? I'm moving!

Guess what-- big news. I'M MOVING! That's so crazy. On Saturday my companion and I were heading home and when we got to the elevator I looked at her and said "You're getting fat-- I think you're gonna have a baby soon!" (aka: she'll train). She screamed and probably punched me. Then we got to our apartment and the assistants called her and told her she's training! SO HILARIOUS! And thus-- I'm moving. I'll miss this place. I've learned so much in Bade about life and myself and the atonement. It'll be hard to leave. Something that hit me the other day is that when I leave an area and the people here I actually have no idea when I'll be able to see them again. It breaks my heart. Bade will always feel like a second home to me. And the things I've learned her have been imprinted on my heart.

Anyway. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!! And I love Bade. Last night I dreamt completely in Chinese. It was the craziest thing because it was a post-mission dream.. in America.. but it was all in Chinese. I have a feeling that going home and speaking English all the time will surprise me a little.

Honestly I can't remember anything that happened this week.

We helped this old lady that we teach clean her house this week... or at least start. It's so cluttered. Then after she sang us a song. I'll try to send the video if it's not too big.

Sorry this email is so short. I honestly have a blank mind right now. We've just been working hard and talking to everyone. I've been doing better at talking at stoplights. It's cool. And Sister Lin told me that every time I start talking to one person at a light-- everyone else looks over and listens because they're so surprised that I'm speaking Chinese. Lol. My chinese actually isn't very good. I'm just white so people stare.

Sister L. and I have still been successful at our goal not to eat at the same place twice. It's been a delicious goal. Also we ran everyday this morning (except saturday because our alarm didn't go off... shame). But it's been good. And now I'm not such a fat lard square anymore. I just hope that my next companion will motivate me to not be a fatty too. Also-- I think I want to continue not repeating places to eat. It makes things much more interesting for sure.

That's really all my news recently.

Oh I do have a new favorite scripture. 1 Nephi 6:4-6. I love this because it clearly outlines the purpose of the Book of Mormon. People ask us all the time what is the purpose of all of this.. well here it is.

I promise I'll actively look for things to share with you about next week. There is good news-- one of my investigators who has met with missionaries forever (she's 12 and her family is all less active) is having her baptismal interview on Friday. SO GREAT (: 

Okay that's all. I'm moving in just four days. SO CRAZY.
