The miracle place called Zhongli!!

Here with my companion, Sister Christensen, and Sister Chen and Sister Chu

 

Also, just to let you know next time I am going to email on Wednesday (Tuesday in the US) cause next week we are going to the temple!! Well the first week of this transfer is over!! I had been told a lot before I had been transferred that I was going to a "golden" area. They weren't wrong!!

This past week was full of events!!! First off....We had a baptism!!!! Her name is Chen Xin Yun.  She had been meeting with the missionaries for a while and they had told me that she used to be super shy and that she had basically just contacted herself and come into the church! When I met her she was completely the opposite, although she was a bit more quiet than other people, she was more willing to talk and smile than what it had sounded like she did before!! 

We then also had this super cool miracle. So we went to the church to meet this girl at 6pm and we were sitting there for like ten minutes and she still hasn't come so we are like  she stood us up. So we were getting our stuff ready to get going when the other sisters came to our room with these three college students and were like "hey!! They are from Zhongyuan university and they walked in here and so...." These three students that are going to a nearby university were from Taidong and they are also Christian. They had gotten a hold of our English tracts and were looking for a Christian church. They had talked about how they had been trying to come to our church but every time they came it was always closed but it was just perfect that we  were at the church at that time and had been stood up because otherwise we would have never met these three girls! We shared the restoration with them and they really understood what it meant to have a sincere heart and real intent. We are really excited to see how it goes with them!! God literally provides so many miracles!

This Saturday Joanne is getting baptized and I am so excited to go and see it! She is literally so cool.

On Sunday we had a member who is from the Philippines came to church (she works at a factory and so she doesn't have a lot of days off) bring a friend to church! She was so cool and the best thing about our ward is that we have small translating equipment so they were able to listen to it in English!

Nonspiritual thoughts:

Sister Chen was drawing some stuff for the word of wisdom and she was so cute and put Wind instead of Wine and pieapple instead of pineapple. We then told her and she just starts laughing so hard and she's like yelling in Chinese HEY STOP BLOWING AIR THAT IS BREAKING THE WORD OF WISDOM and proceeds to start blowing air out profusely from her own mouth. SO FUNNY.

 

Also because I just keep losing a lot of hair I bought some hair therapy shampoo and Sister Zhu was laughing at me and was like I need that too (cause her hair is falling out a lot too) so she wanted to take a pic of it with me. Sister Chen was like I am losing so much hair too and then is like "my hair is this thick right now but by the end of my mission I might only have a couple hairs left." THERE IS LITERALLY SO MUCH BLACK HAIR EVERYWHERE IN OUR APARTMENT.

 

We made cookies for this English activity and it was so funny cause we had to melt marshmallows and stuff and all we heard was this screaming because the heat was too high and the other sisters yelling to stir it around 

 

Bai Xia Nian got baptized, and her dad CAME. She is so CUTE!
