Rain

This week it just rained all the time. Like, it poured rain all of the time. Riding bikes in the rain is just so fun! You pull up to a light to contact someone and whip out a tract and then it's already soaked and it's just awesome! Actually I gotta cool rain miracle. So we were at the library doing our facebook missionary business and we walk outside and it is just dumping rain. It's like on the Emperor's New Groove when it rains. It was so much water!! And all of our rain gear and umbrellas and such were at our bikes which were not relatively close to us. We just stood there for a while and I said a small prayer and asked God to please help us out. A few minutes later a worker walks by and was like, "Here! Use my umbrella!!" He walked us to our bikes and held the umbrella over us while we put our gear on. It was such a tender mercy from Heavenly Father. The small things like that just remind me that He really does love me.

Another cool thing this week was with our investigator, Sister Chen. We met with her last Monday and taught the first lesson about the restored gospel and Joseph Smith. She belongs to another Christian church and it was all kind of hard for her to believe. We finish the lesson and invite her to be baptized. She wasn't sure because she told us when she goes to her church she says she hears a voice in her head that says something like welcome home. I don't know. Me and Elder Hsu were like, weird.. haha. BUT we decided to help her really understand what the Spirit is and what he feels like. After we read some scriptures and talked she really understood it and accepted the invite to be baptized!  And then we followed up with her a little bit later in the week about reading and praying and she told us she hadn't been reading. But she said a cool story about prayer. She had been working out some law stuff with her divorce and it wasn't working out well so she decided to pray and she told Heavenly Father that if he would help her, then she would start reading the Book of Mormon. Yeah, everything got solved with no problem! It was so amazing!! She hasn't started reading yet, but hopefully soon!

Last thing, this week we were supposed to have 吳弟兄's baptism, but we had to change his date. It was so sad. He has so much desire to be baptized but now he thinks that he is getting into all this a little too fast. He said he was too scared to follow the Word of Wisdom because he thinks his friends and dad will make fun of him and not like him if he doesn't drink tea and smoke. So sad!! So if y'all have time in your prayers, pray that he can overcome this fear and get baptized!!!

Other than that, there wasn't much exciting stuff that happened this week. Hope you all are well and getting ready for baseball to start soon haha. The people here love baseball so it's awesome! 

Love you all!!!
