There are short-stops, short people and short weeks

Hey Everyone!
Sorry last week I forgot to tell you who got wet and that was Zheng4
dx who was someone that I found! It was so exciting to see someone
else that I personally contacted on the street get baptized. Yeah!

Food:
Nai3 Ru2: This is a vietnamese milk pudding that a member made for us.
It would have to say that it was the best pudding I've ever had. She
kept apologizing because she made really big glasses of it. I was
totally fine with that. 5 perfect puddings out of 5.

Verbatim:
You should snort one! (me)
I did that once. (Elder K)
You ground it and snorted it?!?(me)
No, I just stuck it up my nose. (Elder K)--Regarding Altoids

This week, we went to this place to get taught Chinese by a bunch of
student teachers at the request of a member. It was a fun and games
until this one girl got up there and ruined my life. She started off
by saying to the girl who was getting taught along with us, "Wow,
Elder Siebert is very handsome. Will you please ask him if he will add
me on Facebook?" I responded that I couldn't because I didn't use
facebook. She then turned to my companion and asked him, "Does Elder
Siebert have a girlfriend?" He, very uneasily responded that I didn't.
She then said, "Oh, well then will you please ask Elder Siebert if he
would like to have a girlfriend?" I was horrified, but my companion
brought down the house by turning to me and saying, "Elder Siebert,
you are getting tempted!" Everyone thought that was the funniest thing
ever and it totally disarmed the situation. Very well played Elder
Kasparian, 5 smooth saves out of 5.

This week was a good one. We found a lot of people this week but my
favorite thing has been training missionaries this week. I have been
on a lot of exchanges and had a blast teaching them about our vision
for the zone and for the mission and seeing them catch that fire. It's
been a blast.

I did have a pretty awesome miracle this week while talking to someone
on the street. I talked to this one guy and turns out he has always
thought that our church is cool, but just never gotten the chance to
get over here. It was cool to invite him and see him accept.

This week I also saw a really cool miracle while waiting for a guy to come
meet with us. I saw an African man who was standing with a box on his
head and a bag in his hands at an intersection, waiting to cross. I
went over and started talking to him. I asked what he was up to. Adam
(that was his name) said that he was just moving stuff to his new
house. I offered to help him out. He said that this was the last of
the stuff and I exclaimed how we were too late! Then he said something
that really impacted me, he looked at me and asked, "why are you so
nice?" I realized how much it means to simply offer to lift and serve
others in small ways. I began to talk to him about religion. He is
muslim. I asked him what role it played in his life and he told me
that he was going to put the stuff at his house and in just a minute
would come back. I said that was fine. When he got back we sat down
with him and shared about the restoration. It was cool because I
realized that Islam has many similarities to our religion. We were
able to relate a prophet to Adam very easily and he actually really
wants to know about the BOM and start reading it. It's so sick we'll
call it ILL!

That's about all! Keep holding strong everyone!
Love,
Elder Siebert
