Chapter 30: Blessings, Baptisms, and Bitter Cold

Image
你好!! Wow, this week has just been so amazing. One of the best weeks on my mission so far. We have seen so many Christmas miracles, and everything is just so so wonderful. Let me tell you about a couple miracles. First off, we are getting 2 baptisms this week! Our great friend Iris is getting baptized  on Friday , and she just could not be more excited. She is kind of shy and quiet, but when she talks about the gospel, she just lights up. It's so amazing to me to see how much people change through this gospel. IT'S SO GOOD. We met Iris through the Elders in TuCheng. They told us they met her on a train because the doors were closing and she jumped through them just barely to make it on the train, but her backpack got stuck (note about the trains here, when the doors close, they don't stop for anything, even you. I have seen plenty of people get squished between the doors; it's the funniest thing ever haha). So with her backpack stuck, the doors just kind of slowly...

Chapter 29: It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Buddhist Christmas

Hello!! First of all, I know my emails the last several weeks have been lacking to say the least, so my apologies. But in my defense, I have been having significantly less time to email the past several weeks because we have been practicing for our missionary Christmas concert program thing and that takes up emailing time. So in a couple weeks, I will have a lot more time to email and hopefully my email quality will get better haha.  This week has been a great week! We met with our friend Iris who has a baptismal date set for the 22nd, and she just really wants to get baptized on that day. She has been working really hard and doing everything she needs to do to prepare to get baptized on the 22nd. We are so excited for her! She is just the cutest, sweetest girl and I am so so happy for her! From the time we met her to now, I can see a huge change in her. She just seems so genuinely happy. This gospel is the best. Other great news! I can't remember if I wrote about this...

Chapter 28: Still in Songshan!

Nihao!!  This week has been in interesting one. But first things first, I'm still in Songshan! I'm going to admit, I was a little surprised I didn't get transferred, but I love it here! I'm so excited to spend 6 more weeks here! I'll be in Songshan from July to January hahaha.  Other things that happened this week, I got to accompany for a musical number at our RC Fireside  on Sunday . So that was super fun!  Another thing that happened this week was we met a super cool referral this week! She was a referral from the PingDong Elders, which is on the very south side of the island. She said that if she met the missionaries on vacation she ought to listen to them. I'm excited to get to know her better.  Sorry this email his so short!! But I just want to tell you all, this gospel is true!! I love you all!! Love, Sister Larson I got to see a lot of my old my district again!! District selfie Also a selfie of me getting a haircu...
