No, We Really are On Fire!

So this week was soo awesome! Especially considering the way it started. But we got moved in to another apartment and got new furniture and stuff so we are pretty much back to normal. Paishan is an investigator we have been teaching since end of May and she's from Taiwan. She's here getting her PHD in Economics and has 4 more years left. She started out with no belief in God whatsoever and she has such a testimony of the gospel now it's amazing. At our lesson last Tuesday she decided to be baptized! She's getting baptized a week from tomorrow, August 25th! She's definitely converted and will remain steadfast in the church I have no doubts. I'm so happy for her it's just incredible to see the transformation in her. The only problem with getting baptized that she expressed last tuesday is that she wanted it to be at 4 because she wanted to have dinnr with her roommate because she just moved here from Taiwan and doesn't know anyone. haha we were like well how about 7. She's like Okay...so we're all set to go for Tuesday! And another investigator Carl, he's the one we were walking home from an appointment and he called us over and asked us what we did and sensed something about us. We taught him for 3 hours and he said he'd been praying all week to just know the truth. He grew up baptist and has tried other religions but never felt complete. We taught him 3 times last week and he just loves it. HE said he knows this is the truth and he always feels so good when we come over. We watched the testaments with him yesterday and he just loved it. He found out one of his co workers is mormon and he said he was sooo excited! He went and found him and they talked all day and they found out a way to be able to work side by side all day so he can talk to him mroe about the gospel. This work is unbelievable. Heavenly Father wants to guide us in all we do and I know as we let him, we will be blessed and we will be able to bless others. I'm so greatful for the knowledge I have of the Plan of salvation and for my testimony of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. I know Joseph Smith saw HEavenly Father and Jesus Christ and I know they restored the Priesthood Authority to the Earth through him. I am so grateful for the Book of Mormon and for a Prophet on the Earth today who directs this Church by revelation. It is so necessary to have further revelation for our days. We are going through things so different than other times and the answers for them aren't specifically found in other teachings. I love all of you and you are all such examples to me.
