HAPPY BIRTHDAY
NATHAN I LOVE YOU!!!!
I LITERALLY
LOVE MY WARD THEY ARE SO AWESOME. Okay in other news it has been raining a lot
the past couple of days oh and so much wind. SO MUCH WIND. This week was
amazing!!!! AHH ZHONGLI IS LITERALLY SO COOL.
Miracles:
So....Xu Shu
Rong's baptism was set for 7 o'clock. The day before she had told us that she
was going to be in Taizhong that day and that she would try and make it back as
early as possible. 6:30 pm passes, the time that we had set with her to come so
we could get her into her baptism clothes and take some pictures, and my
companion and I start getting antsy. The ward starts showing up along with
other missionaries and their investigators, 6:50 pm rolls by and there's no
sign of her. 7:00 pm and our WML starts asking where she is, we call her and
she says that she's in someone's car and that the rain has caused a lot of
traffic. 15 more minutes roll by and everyone is just talking in the hallway,
the water in the font starts getting cold and so the Elders decide to drain
part of it and put some more water in it. 7:20 pm and we hear one of the Elders
go "THE WATER" we quickly go see what's wrong and we see that the
font was too full and it had started to flow back into the bathroom!!!!! We get
it cleaned it up and started draining some of the water out, 7:30 pm and we see
this motor scooter in the front of our church with someone getting off of it.
The rain was coming down really hard so it was kind of hard to see, we see this
person with brown moccasins, a sparkly gold helmet, and a giant pink poncho on
getting off their scooter. We start questioning if it's her, I call out
her name but she doesn't turn around, my companion decided that "It's not
her, that's an ama (old grandma)!" Two seconds later the pink poncho lady turns around
IT'S XU SHU RONG. We run over to her and help her grab her stuff, we hurry and
have her change into her baptism clothing and we get a move on upstairs to
start. We went downstairs for the actual baptism and all of us were super
excited, we open up the back door to the font and as she starts walking into
the font we realize...THE WATER ONLY WENT KNEE DEEP. The water had drained TOO
MUCH. Our trusty trainee Elder Cooke was a trooper though and baptized her in
one try! The rest of the baptism went smoothly so that was good.
Our member also
brought a friend to church!!! We had invited him two weeks ago to try and bring
a friend to an activity and then yesterday he walked into church and I made eye
contact with him and was like...where's your friend?? (We didn't know if he was
going to bring one or not) and he's like she's on her way!! IT WAS SO AWESOME
and we are set up to meet with her tomorrow. Also that member went with all of
us missionaries English finding and he thought it was super fun. He's such a
cool RC.
We also met
with a a potential on Saturday and she was so cool. She had said that she had
liked to learn so we were just like do you want to learn the coolest thing ever? So
we set up with her and then on Saturday she had told us how she had decided
that day to look for a Christian church to join and it was fate that we had met
her that night while she was working out. She was super willing to believe and
we set a baptism date with her! She also came to all three hours of church
yesterday and loved it! She's so cool!!!
Nonspiritual
stuff:
So....we are
heading out the door and get to the elevator, the doors close and we are
talking to each other.....two minutes pass and then we realize that it is
taking way too long for the elevator to go from the fourth floor to the main
floor. I look over and realize that WE DIDN'T PUSH THE FLOOR ONE BUTTON SO HERE
WE ARE JUST CHILLING ON THE FOURTH FLOOR IN THE ELEVATOR.
So a ward
member was taking some pictures with me, but the app she was using enlarges
your eyes too but it made my eyes TOO BIG and so I looked like a creepy alien.
She told me to just close my eyes to about 1/4 open instead.
It has been so
humid lately that people have been asking us if it is raining but then my
companion and I are just like nope...that's just sweat.
