Good Times

Dear Everyone,
This week was a fun one. We had some pretty good times.

Verbatim:
Me: "I got it! let's go adventuring!"
Elder Chen: Uh, I like the hiking part, but the adventuring no.
Me: Why?!?
Elder Chen: I'm a wimp....

Me: What's your name?
Guy: Robin
Me:I'M BATMAN!
Guy: Whoa! (contacting for english class)

My english name is Jackie Chan.--guy by the church ( I then covered my face in mock defense. He laughed)

Oh my gosh! Was that your cactus that just stabbed my buns?!?--me on getting stabbed in the tush by Elder Chen while taking my contacts out.

OH! My eye, you hit my eye, it hurts so bad!--Elder Chen after being wounded in our epic "boba" (tapioca ball) straw-shooter fight.

Oh, I know you're not perfect, Preach My Gospel says so.--Sister Li remarking on me telling her that I am not perfect

This week I saw a lot of family miracles. We were so lucky to have a lot of families set up with us and want to learn. It's the most that I have taught families on my mission. I hope that we will get one of these families baptized. One of my favorite families is this little family who we are teaching, the Zhang family. The kids are the most golden people ever. They are so young, but they are so interested in the gospel. They respond to questions with a depth and maturity that I have rarely seen in grown ups. It's so amazing. I hope that they can get baptized soon. They need to come to church some, but I know that other than that obstacle, it's going to be smooth sailing. I hope. Haha.

We also had a ton of success with formers this week. We found and taught three formers this week and they are all good people. I wanted to share about a Sister Xu who is a Christian but totally open to meet with us and learn. She asked me yesterday what the differences between churches are and why there are so many. She stayed for church and had a great experience. She liked the talks and the classes and it was just an awesome time. She is a great lady and I am so grateful that she wants to meet with us. We have been blessed with a lot of very open minded Christians lately. I will keep you all posted. Seriously though, I think that over half of our investigators are Christian. I've never had that happen before.

Well, I love you all.
Elder Siebert
