Hey everyone
Love you!
What is your favorite Chinese food? My favorite Chinese food might be
liang mien=cool noodles. It is noodles in a sesame sauce. MMMMMM. Also
dragon fruit.
What do you do for a workout? Because of my knee I generally just do
pushups and sit ups but if there is a game of soccer or basketball
going on I can't resist the temptation. Just got to play. Anyways I am
going to the hospital again today and will probably arrange a time for
my knee surgery. It is supper simple and totally not dangerous and is
nothing to worry about as far as I have heard because for the third
time my knee has ballooned out because my bursa is full of blood
and water.
Anyways about this week and the crazy miracle we have been seeing
This week was great, like always. I am not moving! Staying training.
I am so glad. I love being with two companionships in an apartment.
I love seeing the area grow; we just barely missed golden standards
this week, which is so cool. Hopefully next week we will be able to hit
it. What a miracle that would be. From starting an area with just one
investigator to a golden standard area in one transfer. I just stand
all amazed. The ward is so great and supportive, and is really helping
us out. The biggest miracle this week was on Friday we went to visit a
Ye family who had a 9 year old daughter not yet baptized because she
likes milk tea too much. We had no number but did have an address so
just went and when we got there the older already baptized daughter
came down and answered and we told her why we came and she was fine
but not to helpful. Then the mom was coming down the street and she
was so glad to see us and said we could come back the next day, and
said her older daughter didn't like church/young women’s, and said she
felt she really needed the missionaries help. I also invited them to
bring friends to the meeting the next day. Then the next day we went
and they had invited a 15 year old friend named Wang Bo Lun to the
discussion. It turns out the dad was less active (which we had no
idea) because of work, so we had a 2 potential investigators, a
daughter who didn't like church, a less active dad and a mother trying
to keep her family spiritually alight and who felt overwhelmed with the
responsibility all in one discussion. We shared President Ucthdorf’s
"The merciful shall obtain mercy" talk and then invited the two
potentials for baptism. They both set dates and committed to church
the next day. It was incredible.
Spiritual thought for the week:
I was reading in john and Christ heals a leper and tells him not to
tell everyone and he goes and tells it to everyone. I was like, “Are you
kidding me, how dumb can you be? I just don't understand.” Then I
realized that it was so much like us, how often do we repent and
Christ tells us he does not condemn us and to go our way and sin no
more, and we just go and do the same sin. I certainly hope and believe
that the woman who was caught committing adultery and saved from stoning
didn't go and commit adultery again, but I admit I doubt she went and
sinned no more. I don't want to be all gloomy, but realistic. I
believe that when we repent he gives us the same invite and maybe our
spirits’ are willing but our flesh is weak and we sin again like Peter who
slept when Christ most need comfort. Who are we to judge these so
called idiots? But I realized that the lord giveth no commandment that
can't be followed. I believe that as we overcome the natural man we
can become perfect. Maybe not in this life but we can do it. We can go
our way and sin no more. Christ never said you dummy why did you go
and do that thing I told you not to do. He also never said let leprosy
come back upon you for you idoiousy. He loves us and is willing to
forgive us as many times as we repent. Like he did Peter. (Thanks
Brian for the letter.)
Here’s my letter my president:
Hey President,
Thanks for your time and sacrifice. I don't have as much time this
week to write so it will be quick.
Favorite BOM Scripture: 2 Nephi 26: 5 Christ will not give up on
anyone and invites all to come unto him. What is more powerful or
true. I also love Alma 7 11-13, Christ understands us and our
weaknesses.
As far as on the street goes, Ether 12:4- Help people know how
believing in god can bring a better life.

Relationship = good. My companion had a hard time on Friday, and cried
for 30 minutes while I made calls. I don't really know why and he says
he doesn't either but I am trying my best to love and help him adjust.
I am still learning a lot as a missionary and as far as Chinese goes.
Thanks

To
answer your questions
I sent your mail ballot to the mission home so you can vote, so please
send it back ASAP. Mom said she sent you money. Was it enough or
should we send more? It was not nearly enough, try like 1000 off. LOL.
The money was plenty, thanks so much.
About voting, I don't think the ballot will get back in time, I here
it must get back by June 7th for it to count. Also I am pretty sure I
would need my social security number or license, all of which I lost in
my mind or literally.
