I told you about most of last week but Monday and Tuesday were also great. On Monday I went on exchanges and got to go back to Tao 2. While there I had a prayer in my heart that I would see Kang Shi Chang the 16 year old who was golden when I lest but somehow lost interest, and miraculously God pulled through. On a back street I had never taken before and happened to take to try and get where we were going faster I ran into him, talked and shared my testimony with him and set him up. I love him and realize that he has some hard trials but he even said he was happier when he was meeting with us. It was a great miracle. Then yesterday was a blast. For breakfast we went to Dunkin Doughnuts!! MMMMMM doughnuts (got there at 6:30 but it opened at 7 and the people there let us in anyway and let us buy the doughnuts. It was another birthday miracle.) Then had specialized training which was on helping others make and keep commitments. It was so great. One of the interesting stats given which I don't know if I totally believe is 25 % of what you can learn from a meeting comes from our preparation, 25% comes from the attending the class and 50% comes from the taking and using what you learned, the application. I had only kind of prepared for the meeting so I felt a little bad but if I learn 80% of what I could I think I will still be happy. I got to share my experience from last month for 3 minutes and it went well. I really love chapter 10 on becoming a better teacher. I learned a lot. Then I did it, I passed of Phase 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The test was way easier then I thought it would be. I was so happy. Then I meet with investigators the rest the day and Huang de kai bought me subway for dinner. Also my 16 year old investigator that went tracking with us called me and said happy birthday. It was really special.
 Today I get to start studying all the characters in the book of Mormon.   I am excited.
That’s it from the last two days.
 Here is my letter to the president
Hey President,
It's been a great week in Bade. Having 2 baptisms and still hitting most our goals. I am loving it here. I am excited for our baptisms this week to.
 I loved the training we received and hope that I will be able to apply it well to my missionary work. I did a little last night when following up with investigators and helping them recognizes their feelings as they prayed and read. I hadn't done that much before and I think it really makes a difference. All of them had good feeling attached to these habits. I told them these feelings were from god. It was so great to help them realize god is answering thier prayers.
  This last week I have been working on the ABCs and hope that I can get to the point where I can always have the ABC attitude with everyone I meet.
 You told me to call you when I finished phase 2, because I committed to finish it by May 16, but I passed it off yesterday at the meeting and Elder Workman announced it was my birthday and that I had passed it off. I assume you were there and herd so I didn't call, but just in case I thought I would let you know, I passed it. I am so glad to have it done, I have been getting up at 5:30 these last two weeks to study and it paid off. Thanks for committing me to that date.
 Thanks for everything.
 Any advice or suggestions you have for me?
 Thanks again
Elder Sabey

PS ABC attitude for commitments is love boldness and confidence (Yeah love- a- wo ai ni)
