Hey everyone!
Summer has come in earnest and it is one son of a gun! I haven't even been able to get a lot of shaved ice lately because of problems like companies adding some poisonous chemicals into certain syrups and jellies, so I am a little leary of it all right now.
Food for the week is the Zhong4zi. This is rice, meat, maybe tiny little shrimps, egg, peanut and all sorts of stuff wrapped into a banana leaf. The parcel is then tied and steamed until done. The result is a banana leaf infused rice thing-a-ma-bob that is amazing!!! When you put some sweet and spicy sauce on it, it is probably one of my favorite foods in the entire world. I give it 5 out of five.
Sorry, because my time is pretty much up, I have to make this one short. This week didn't see too much new, but we did see one pretty good miracle. As some of you might know, we were teaching a Guo1 You3Ming2 who has some pretty serious family opposition. She's been thinking that she just wants to wait til she's twenty to get baptized so that she doesn't have to talk to her family about it. Her parents don't even know that she's meeting with missionaries or coming to church and she wouldn't tell them about it. Because she wasn't progressing for a while, we stopped meeting with her and now, a month and a half later, we picked her back up and she's changed. She was willing to go home and ask her parents if she can come to church. We are going to work with the parents one step at a time. We're going to have her ask them if she can meet with us next. She's changed so much because she now has faith and courage that the Lord can help her. I know that the Lord has been working with her heart so that she is willing to make these changes.
I love you all so much! I will write more about the dragon boat races that I am going to today next week!
Love,
Elder Siebert
