Hey yall how is everyone?! Sometimes the weeks go so fast I question myself that I didn't like write yesterday...anyways this week went well for the most part! I was sick in bed for 3 days with the flu and the Elders brought me a half gallon of Cookies and Cream BlueBell Icecream which is death cause it's so good! So I think I gained a good 15 lbs. but luckily we don't own a scale! Although I had to get weighed at the Dr's when I went to the pulmonolgist a couple weeks ago and I've gained 3 lbs...but keep that on the down low. But Sis Lieber taught Pai Shan without me on Tuesday night and asked her to be baptized and she said once she finds out if it's true or not she has no reason not to be baptized! She fasted for an answer on Sunday, all she could say was I'm so hungry! We are teaching her tomorrow night and setting a date for her...either the 18th or the 25th. Our district is doing awesome with baptisms and the only week we don't have one in the month of July is the 18th so we're trying to get her in that weekend but it may be to soon...we will just have to see what Heavenly Father wants. She's ready though and she loves the gospel. We taught Yuanfa's roommate again last night. His name is Hong and he's the one I have talked about before who doesn't believe in God and we've been teaching him a lot about the Plan of Salvation and Chinese people just eat that up. We truly take so much for granted in our lives having the knowledge that God loves us and has a plan for us. We've always believed that it's just been second nature and I think we need to plant that deeper into our lives and not only just believe it but say yes I believe that so what am I going to do because I believe that. And we should be constantly striving to be better people and also bring others to the truth of the gospel that are in darkness. There are seriously so many people all around us that really are only in darkness because they don't even know where to look for the light. And we have it and the only true light they can get is from us...we must share the gospel with everyone. Anyways Hong is going to pray to know if God is there...he was suppose to last week but he really is devoted to it this week. and he said I really hope tehre is a god. And teaching about the Kingdoms he said so I still have a chance to go to the Celestial Kingdom...and he was relieved and excited. He already believes in God you can tell. He said so if I find out God is real...what do I do? So it's only a matter of him finding out if God is there and the gospel will just flow into his life easily. I have a lot of joy teaching Hong seeing him come from complete darkness and seeing the light and walking towards it...slowly but very straightly. Transfer calls are this Saturday. I'm staying here cause I'm in the middle of tests and Sis Lieber could be leaving or staying we have no idea. Oh guess what! So Sister Lieber and I when we go to be we would always say Don't let the Bed Bugs bite and if they do beat them till they're black and blue and we would just always so that...well guess who really DOES have bed bugs!! I didn't even know they were real! But of course I get bed bugs and Sister Lieber doesn't cause I get everything haha...so we have been camping on the couch and she pulls her bed out next to the couch and we're getting our apt sprayed this week. We are meeting with Gladys this week the 90 year old woman who we had an amazing lesson with a few weeks ago? she was at the 4th of July breakfast we were so excited to see her! Anyways I need to end this but I love and miss everyone but not mroe than I miss the Lord and being on a mission is the best way I have found to please the Lord and my family and bring blessings to both so I'm content here for 15 more months...love you all so much!
