Week #81

 Transfers are were today, but I will be staying in YuanLin with Elder Loe! And my old companion Elder Huang is coming down here to be my zone leader, so it's going to be a super fun transfer.

   

The highlight of the week is that Nick got baptized! Also the Brother Chen that Elder Brenchley and I found got baptized on the same day so that was super cool! But it didn't come without its complications. When the baptismal font was about half way filled up, the church just completely ran out of water. And so we took two jugs of drinking water and dumped them in (don't worry there was still enough for everyone at church the next day.) then there was still one sink that had water from another source, so we filled some buckets up with that and got the water just high enough so that everything worked out!

   

Some of our time this week was spent deep cleaning the other elders apartment. It has just been super nasty for the longest time. And a senior couple finally sponsored a service project to clean their apartment after it received a -1 out of 3 on the grading scale. But now it is super nice looking so it's all good. 

   

We were meeting with an LA this week, and then she just brought her nonmember friend to the meeting and we taught her the Restoration, and the Less Active member bore really great testimony. The friend does not live in our area but it was still a cool experience. 

   

Lately it has been pretty hard to find, but we met with a new girl this week and had a pretty good first lesson with her. And later we found out that she is good friends with one of our ward members so hopefully everything works out there. 

   

We taught brother Zhang the Word of Wisdom. And the only problem he has is that because of his work, a lot of the time he goes to things where people will offer him a little tea or alcohol. And because of the culture here it is hard to reject those kind of things so we are working on that with him. 

   

Everyone read the Book of Mormon daily! It will bless you in so many ways. 

Love you all! 

Some random English student just likes to take missionaries out to eat so he bought us the huge hamburger (yes there is a cat on the counter)
and the pizza in the other picture that looks like it's from a restaurant.
The other pizza is what we made as a district (one of the flavors has Chick-fil-A sauce and fried chicken)
