Merry Christmas!!





Exchanges were awesome, I learned so much from Sister Bernhardt. She really taught me about turning around for people and to have short but powerful contacts. It was awesome cause we started off the night by trying to visit these potential investigators and the whole time there we were contacting like crazy! Got a lot of rejections but there were some really cool miracles. So we went in to teach the family with the idea that we would sing them some Christmas songs and then teach them how to pray. But they were so interested in the first lesson that we went straight into it and the Spirit was so strong there!! We also were able to set them on date!! it was so awesome! Then we went contacting to the church and we were able to find some really cool people that set up. One cool one was this guy who basically self contacted us, we were in the middle of a contact when this guy just keeps looking at our name tags and then he just comes over and is like I know you guys. And then we ended up talking about our church and (turns out he lives in Yingge) inviting him to meet the missionaries. He was so interested in it that he had messaged Sister Bernhardt saying I am trying to contact the missionaries but they haven't answered me yet!!They were in a meeting hahaha)

Coral is so close, she's so so close. We went over the baptismal interview questions and she answered them all! She still says she has this "mental block" but we are trying to help her, so we told her to pray about baptism and to think about it constantly!!

We also had a bunch of people come to church yesterday which was a HUGE miracle!! One cool one was Angelina who is this former, she had been pregnant and so they had to drop her but then we called her up and it was so cool cause she said that she had run into a member and she started thinking that maybe it was her time for baptism and then we called her!

The other cool miracle was this former named Liu Yu Zhen we had been trying to contact her but she was saying she was too busy and so we decided to go and try to drop off a note to her house. The thing is the missionaries had put her address in wrong (aka they didn't put the house number) so we were stuck...Thinking okay which building has nine floors...And then we couldn't get into the building area cause it was closed off. So we went back two days later and it was a miracle cause there was this lady getting her package and she let us into the building area. We couldn't tell which one she lived in so we guessed and taped it onto the front door of the building we thought she might live in. We didn't hear anything from her for about a week and we were like maybe she didn't get it or maybe she is not interested...But then my phone rang and it was her!!! She came to church and she said she was super excited and felt super happy being there!

Nonspiritual thoughts:

Coral bought us some crackers cause she said that it reminded her of us. We opened it today and it's Korean cheese crackers that are shaped as larva. I messaged her today and was like...I'm glad that larva shaped cheese crackers remind you of us HHAHAHAHHAHA.


During the Christmas concert I was in charge of when the Shepherd's would go and at one point one of them was like my shoes make too much of a click sound so he took off his shoes and his socks. I was like you can't go up there without shoes!! So he wore mine it was weird being shoeless for three hours, thankfully I socks on but people definitely laughed at me a lot. 


My beautiful shoes!

Still trying to locate my shoes!
