Jan 8,, 2012--One week before transfer 3 begins

Today I am so glad to be a missionary. I love being a witness of christ, while watching the restoration I heard JOseph smith say "I knew it, I new that god knew it, and I could not deny it." I felt the truth in his words and told the investigator the same words. I am so sure god is directing this work and it's not us that can't deny it. No matter how much I wish otherwise my chinese is not sufficent enogh to convince anyone to be baptised, or make any major life decision, but this week Zhong Jeimei got baptised. I was blessed to be theone that contacted her and to extend her the invitation to meet with us. She gave me a christmas letter that said that on a rainy day at an intersection I rescued a lost sheep. She is so great, already one of the most active members, and has given us 2 referals and her security guard yesterday called us up and set himself up. Its great tosee the work move forth. We also have another next week Wei Jiemei who is apart of the "english crew" selina who got baptised last week, zhong jeimei who got baptised this week, and wei jeimei who is next week. They all are great freinds and are lifting eachother up. I am not worried about any of them.
I have few questions for you all, What are your plans for this semester? What classes are you taking? What happened for new years/christmas break? What is andrew gibbs and rachel's adress? What's new?
It's crazy I am almost done with my second transfer, which ends a week from today. Then I will get my "breaker." Suposedly usually a really hard disobedient companion usually. So we will see. WE will also see if I stay or move. I am excited.
Well this week was great as usual. A few highlights were I loved exchanges with a member from my first district, who was great, and it was his birthday. I bought him a dunkin doughnut (yeah it's here : ) ) and we had a great lunch and then I meet a women and we gave her a tour of the chuch, and commited her to coming to church. It was great. It's always a highlight when an investigator passes a baptismal interveiw, also at church we had 4 rcla's come and it felt so good to seethem there. Sacrament meeting went great and they all felt the spirit I bet. The best though was the baptismal service. WE had a few funny part like she had to wear a giant white suit because we were missing our mid sized ones, and her feet came up once so she had to do it again. But the highlights were a rcla giving a great closing prayre, and the joy she had and we had. You can't get that joy from any money. She bought us all cake to eat after. It was such a great experiance.
I love you all and am excited to hear from you.
