Chapter 44: Spring has sprung! (And so have my allergies)

大家,早安! Wow this week was so awesome! We saw some really cool miracles and taught some super awesome lessons. It was such a fun week.  To start off, a fun story about Zhuang JieMei! So if you remember, Zhuang JieMei got baptized last month. She is so awesome, so prepared, and like the best recent convert in the world. Well recently, she has found herself a special male friend (aka she recently got a boyfriend hahaha), Li XianSheng, who she brings to church with her every week! And he is interested in learning more about the gospel! So we met with him this week and taught him about the restoration and set a baptismal date for the end of April with him! And it was super cool too because as we were talking to him about baptism he was saying that he really wanted to know and didn't want to just join the church because of Zhuang JieMei, so we know he has actual real intentions! Super super excited about that.  Another miracle that happened this week was during district mee...

Chapter 43: 林姐妹 and 林姐妹 and 林姐妹 (Sister Lin and Sister Lin and Sister Lin)

你好! Hello! Wow this has been such a wonderful week. We had so many great lessons, taught a lot of great people, heard a lot of funny excuses why people weren't interested as we went knocking, and saw a lot of amazing miracles! One of the biggest miracles this week is that we had 6 people come to church! It was totally crazy, I don't think I've ever had that many people come to church before in my whole mission. And the funny this was is that 4 of them had the same last name is me, Lin hahaha. Like half of our investivator's names are Lin JieMei lolol (JieMei just means Sister). But it was seriously such a huge miracle, and 5 out of the 6 stayed for all three hours! Seriously one of the most joyful church meetings I've ever attended haha.  In other news, we have two investigators (both named Lin JieMei haha) who are really progressing towards baptism! We are really hoping that they can get baptized by the end of this month, and if not this month, next month for sure...

Chapters 41 and 42: I'm Going to Be Famous

Hello!!! Wow what a crazy week it's been!! This week started off a little weird, but first some background.  A couple weeks ago on our Mission Line group (just like a huge messenger with all the missionaries in the mission on it) one of our APs sent out a list of like 40 people and said "if you're name's on here, you're going to be famous! Well kind of, the church is making new safety videos for missionaries and they want us to be the missionaries in the videos! So if your name is on this list, you should be getting more information later about where and when you will be filmed." And guess who's name was on the list. It was yours truly :) So on Tuesday morning they called me and were basically like "Cancel all your plans and come to Taibei to get filmed doing exercise. Wear exercise clothing." And so we did! It was fun and I got to see some old missionary friends from the MTC. So all you future missionaries, when you watch those safety vid...
