Climbing Mountains

Hey everyone!

This week was a really good week, we got to go out and climb a huge mountain in the area with some members. It was a memorable experience. When we got to the top, I got one of the members, Guan4Chen2 to hop on my back and I carried him up the last little bit. It was actually kicking me in the booty to carry him up but it was really funny. While up on the top we just goofed around and did a ton of crazy stuff, it was such a good feeling going up there.

Verbatim:

Elder Lew: Hey look at that bug!

Me: Wow, that's so cool!

Elder Lew: Yeah! Kill it.

 

Quick, give me my name tag back before everyone thinks that we have some sort of weird relationship!--me at zone conference when Sister Wu stole my name tag and put it on her blouse. She freaked out at me after I said that. So funny.

 

I'm going to have to be more attentive.--elder Cordon after I pulled the b-day surprise on him.

 

This week was my companion's b-day and I made secret arrangements so that we could get a big thing together with a lot of missionaries and surprise him to death. It was really funny because I pretended that I was going to go to the bathroom and then was in there and called everyone that I needed to. I then set up the rest of it that night and he didn't have any idea. I then set all the clocks in the house faster so that we could get up at normal time but get to the surprise place on time. It was so funny, I totally pulled the wool over his eyes and he was so stunned. Amazing!

 

I had a really cool miracle happen this week. I finished the book of mormon this week and i had the strongest feeling to go and pray about it so I did. I got the spiritual confirmation again that it is indeed true and wasn't really sure why I would need to know that this week but I just did it. While we were meeting with a Brother Huang who has been investigating for months and months, we invited him to read and pray about it and he told us he didn't get why he needed to pray about it. I then knew why I had to pray about it because as I shared about my experience THAT VERY MORNING, he was able to see why we need to pray about it even if we are long time members. It was such a cool experience and so spiritual and really testified to me that God knows all things. He is willing to pray about it and I think that this could be a turning point for him!

 

I love you all!
