Week 68

Dearest Family!!!!!!! and friends!!!!!

It has been another great week!

AHHHH! Time is going by so fast! It's crazy! Weeks fly by like days! SO FAST!!! Too fast!!! (breathing noise)  :)

But can I just tell you...I continue to love the work more and more. It is just pure joy! I love it so much!!!!!! I am so very grateful for this opportunity... words can't even describe it.... or my love for these beautiful people. I love this work and I feel so blessed everyday to be doing it!

I love my companion Sister Tanner.... She is so great... So I realized when I said she is from Canada I was really vague because Canada is rather large.... She is from Smithers which is 12 hours north of Vancouver. She is so awesome and she is picking everything up so fast. I LOVE HER!!!

We had a great miracle this week! Sister Wang son got baptized. Sister Wang use to be less active... but we started working with her and she started to come back. Along that process we started working with her 9 yr old son Tong didi... he got baptized on Jan. 1st and has been such a great example to his family. Especially his older brother.... Tong gege :) We started meeting with him then the Elders started meeting with him and yesterday he was baptized. A beautiful family! Sister Wang also has a daughter that we hope we can start sharing the gospel with. Sister Wang also invited us to start teaching her mom and little sister. They are great! They came to church the past 2 weeks but the mom is still having a hard time accepting the gospel but I they both often cry as they have heard about the Atonement and eternal families. The little sister has said that she feels something special that causes her to cry.... So I have faith that they will continue to progress. I am in awe at the change I have seen in Sister Wang. It amazes me... we'll have to ask her what made that change? What changed that helped her come back?..... I feel like her experience and testimony could really help other less actives.

We also have some other really great investigators right now. Sister Yan is really progressing! She has been praying and reading and came to church. After she stayed for the baptisms and was like "I might need 2 men to help me do that... I'm scared of the water!" It was so cute. Not only did we find out that she has a fear of water but we also learned of her desire to be baptized and that that is her goal and her plan. Even though she has this fear she is willing to go and do... she just might want some extra help just in case :)

We really see miracles everyday! It is so miraculous.... obviously. Yep, that was redundant. But really... It is amazing and glorious. I am continually amazed by the atonement and the love that God and Christ have for all of us.... It has been testified over and over again that I am not doing the work. They truly do all the work. They change their hearts. They do the work... I just pray that I can continue to become and always be an instrument in Their hands.

It passes all my understanding!
 
Well that's about it for this week!

I love you all soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!

Until next week!!!!
