大家 好! Dàjiā hǎo! (Hello everyone!)



This week has just flown by! I can't believe it's Monday again. I've already been in my new area for 2 weeks.

While it was flying by, we were pretty productive too. We taught 19 lessons and were able to give a solid baptismal goal to a super solid investigator. Actually, he practically gave it to himself! Elder W and I had to teach 2 lessons at the same time and when I was with this guy (his English name is "Arenas") he said "I hope I can be baptized in the middle of October; maybe the 18th or 19th if possible." Yeah, we're shooting for the 18th. He's been taught everything, he just needs to come to church a couple times and he's good to go! 

The same day we gave him the goal, we had a Zone Conference in JiaYi (the area for my zone leaders when I was in my last area). I got to see the missionaries from DouLiu and some others I haven't seen in a while (none from my MTC district though). That was really fun and at night the sisters here had a baptism. Her (the new member) story is really cool; to sum it up, she's from Indonesia, speaks English, met an RM on facebook and he taught her a lot of the lessons. He gave TaiBei her info, but she ended up moving here and saw Elder W in a 7/11 and asked him if he was an Elder. They talked and she gave him her phone number and then the Sisters called her and met and she's super golden. Anyway, Elder W baptized her and I was one of the witnesses, and then on yesterday I confirmed her in Sacrament Meeting. She's moving back to Indonesia today because of Visa issues. Hopefully she'll be back soon! 

I guess I summed up this week for the most part. Everything is going great and I'm super happy to be here doing what I'm doing. :) This gospel is perfect and it is true and the world needs it.

I guess that's about it! I love you all!
Have a great week and shake my vanilla!
