Hey everyone!
Verbatim:
Being evil is really parching!--Sister Muhlstein as we played "Aye! Dark Overlord"
Me: Yeah, I'm an old man now.
Sister Taylor: That's hot.
Sister Taylor: That's hot.
Me: *giggle*
Elder Phelps (reporting in zone meeting): He'll be getting sealed in the temple in a year.
Elder Lew: Sounds like Elder Siebert!
Elder Lew: Sounds like Elder Siebert!
Whoa! The planes just get closer and closer!--Me when the announcements, folded into a paper airplane, nearly hit me in the back of the head in zone meeting.
(written on the calender)
12/31 "My favorite companion kisses another girl at midnight and gets engaged"
Me: Yeah, that'll go well 'I've got a resolution. I'm gonna get married! And it's you!'
Elder Welch: I gotta pee. That's what she's gonna say too.
Me: Don't get it mixed up with Fang4Bian4.
Elder Welch: What's Bian4?
Me: Poop.
Elder Welch (and me): *Laughs super loud*
Let's go blow up his company. Or at least block the door.--Elder Welch on getting Brother Cheng to church.
This week was a good way to end my last Sunday here on the island. We had an amazing baptism. Brother Zhang's baptism went without a hitch really. His good friends in the ward, Brother Tu and President Zeng gave amazingly spiritual talks and the musical number went smooth and beautifully. The most beautiful part was that his whole family came and sat with him. They were given the front spot next to the font and were able to watch their husband/father get baptized. Even more beautiful was the fact that the Zeng family went over after the service and also the Huang family went and talked to them and the wife was much more open after interacting with them. We are planning to visit them with the Zeng family and meet them more and also share a little message. I have a lot of hope for their family. I am so eternally grateful to Heavenly Father for letting me see this miracle happen and let me be here for the realization of it.
This week we had a really cool finding miracle. We set up a referral at a member's house for a first time meeting. When we got there, we brought the investigator, a Brother Chen, in and he met the Que family and they just wrapped their arms around him (figuratively, although I am sure that literally would also have gone well). Our lesson with him went really, really well. We followed the spirit really bravely and taught with power. As we taught, he really opened up to the message and even though he didn't understand everything perfectly, he clearly felt the spirit. He came to church this week and because Brother Que is a counsellor in the bishopric, his wife and Elder Welch sat with Brother Chen. Brother Chen loved the talks and was writing notes down. Then in sunday school, Sister Que took him upstairs and then arranged for someone to sit with him while she took care of some things and then came back to sit with him again. It was amazing how well they took care of him. I am sure that he felt the love and will be very willing to come back.
Well that's all from me! Over and out, thanks for reading all these weeks!
