Some Pictures from last week (before the transfer)

each chair equals one transfer

This week was so fun! Elder Brenchley is just such a hard worker. Usually when you get a new companion the first little bit is weird cause you are trying to get used to things, but with Elder Brenchey we just got right into things and went to work! And we literally can just talk about basketball all of the time... I am super excited for the rest of this transfer. Also the ward here is so so cool. We get fed sooooooooooo much. And rumor is they are one of the best at missionary work in the whole mission!

I will update you on some investigators. First Brother Liu. He had a baptismal goal for the 18th but we had to change it to 12/2 becuase he can't come to church. He can't come to church because he owns a breakfast shop which opens on Sunday, but he said he could get it changed so they don't open on Sunday. But then we went to their breakfast shop the next day he hadn't told his wife, and every time we bring it up he gets really awkward and will just not tell his wife. But he loves prayer and the Book of Mormon, so hopefully we can get everything else figured out.

Next, Nick. He is the 9 year old kid of a less active member. He recently just started saying his personal prayers. He also has a date for the 2nd of December. It is hard for him to focus in lessons, but he is 9 so everything is going ok.

This week we met with a new guy, Brother Wang. He really just wants to know how he can raise his kids well. He loved the comparison of how God with him is just like him and his kids. Also on Sunday he came at the very end of church and toured the chapel with his two kids, and he talked about wanting to bring his wife next week. He lives in another area from Monday-Friday, and then here Saturday-Sunday. So we will see what happens when we get it all figured out.

I felt a 4.2 earthquake this week... all good. Also My friends from QinqShui came down and visited this week to drop something off and we had dinner with them. It was so good to see them. And they gave me some good news. So when I was in QinqShui Elder Huang and I would eat lunch with a member and some of her friends, but the friends never really had interest. But now one of them has a baptismal goal for December... so cool!

Well I am just loving life right now! Love you all!
