Typhoon!

Hey everyone!
I don't have much in the way of verbatim this week but I have some pictures that I am going to attach here in a second. I do have a funny story that I forgot to write about though.
(during studies)
Elder Zhuo: (picks up a pocket hand sanitizer sprayer) what's this?
Me: It's mouth spray
Elder Zhuo: Oh really?
Me: Yeah, it tastes great, you should try it
Elder Zhuo: (points it at his mouth, starts to press the spray)
Me: It actually doesn't taste that great though.
Elder Zhuo: (presses the spray, the hand sanitizer sprays into his mouth. He freezes for a second.) OOOOOHHHHHH NOOOOOO!
Me: Oops!
Elder Zhuo: IT TASTES SO GROSS!
Me: It might have been handsanitizer!
Elder Zhuo: (after rinsing his mouth copiously) Hahaha, that was so funny! I don't even blame you for doing that, I would've done it too!


Uh, this week I got trapped inside because of the typhoon. It was a little weaksauce for the most part but it was good to be able to have the time to go nuts on all the records and call a million people. I am afraid that I ran up a phone bill though. Sigh. We also had a great time walking around in the lavalavas and feeling hawaiian. This week my companion also made me some lunch and I ate the closest to a raw egg I have ever had in my life. I was grossed out and intrigued by it. More grossed out than intrigued though.

We are continuing to see tons of progress with our investigator Kyle and he's just doing great. He's still struggling with finding a way to get all the commandments down pat but he's just improving so much, he wears a nice shirt to church now, and sat in the front of the chapel for the first time ever today. He's always told us that he hates sitting up there before, but this week he just did it by himself and did it in Sunday School too. In Sunday School he shared a powerful testimony about the Word of Wisdom in which he told everyone that there are many reasons why all those things are bad but the most important thing to know is that our knowledge has limitation and God is perfect so we just can't doubt in Him. It was so amazing to see how much he is changing and how much of a love he has for God now.

This week was really cool because we had an awesome miracle while finding. We went to go find a former and we didn't get them at home but we had a feeling to keep knocking and didn't have much success. We went nearby and as we were going I had a feeling to find another former. While we were there I got into a longer contact with someone and then my companion knocked into an apartment building which we went into. When we came out and got to the former's house, Brother Lin walked up right as we got there. He said that we could come in and was surprised that we were there right then because he had just gotten home and been out all day long. It was an amazing miracle where the Lord just set everything up so that we could right at that door at the right time and that meant delaying us at a couple other places so that He could get the time just right.

I think that that's about all for this week!
Love,
Elder Siebert
p.s. you can all write me letters if you'd like!:)
