Hello

Yep, there are chinese characters to say Hello in English. Also, this is how you say 'haha' 哈哈。Love it.

Well this week was a pretty good week for me and Elder Williams! Even though 15 people did not come to their lesson (even though they confirmed they would come) we were able to meet with two new investigators named Eric and Daniel. We contacted Eric about a week ago and he set up and brought his friend Daniel! They are about 18 years old and super funny! Eric has super good English too! But we met with them and taught them about the Restoration. After we shared the first vision the spirit was super strong and we asked Eric what his thinks about Joseph Smith's experience. The first thing he said was, "Amazing!" Oh man so great! Eric is super prepared and he even accepted a baptismal goal for the 13th of August! Daniel said his family would not agree to him getting baptized because they are Daoist, but we are sure that if we keep meeting with him and praying that things will be ok. And we want to meet with his family and try to share with them too :)

Yesterday, our investigator Gryphon came to church! He loved it and the young men in the ward really seem to like him! It was rather an interesting experience though. The first speaker in sacrament meeting got up and talked about how he didn't know what he wanted to share but he told us about his dream that he had. uh-oh. He talked about how he saw God and it was just really weird and I could tell Gryphon was kinda weirded out... then once the guy finished his story, he shared like one scripture and then sat down.. ok. Then in young men's the topic for the week was "Why are temple ordinances so important?" Luckily the young men did a SUPER good job at explaining things very simply and very well. I was really impressed! They are a good bunch of kids.

Oh yeah, this week we met President Teh! He is super cool and I can just tell that he is going to bring the heat to this mission. He talked a lot about obedience and why we have the rule book. The missionary handbook is so great. But he talked about the why behind it all. Pretty cool stuff!! This week we have interviews so that will be pretty cool! The first thing he said to me this week was, "I knew of your sisters before I knew of you!" Great. 

Last thing, we had to switch english classes with the sisters because it was just more convenient for everyone. So, Elder Williams and I are now the teachers of the 小朋友班 (the little kids class). YIKES. Wednesday was a nightmare and there are about 20 of them and it was just nuts. I'm not really looking forward to this week... haha hopefully it will be alright!! Pray for us!

Well that's about it for this week. We didn't take any pictures this week (sorry mom). Things are super hot outside and we sweat a ton. You get some weird looks when you pull up to someone at a light and you are sweating and trying to catch your breath, do some small talk, and then pull out a tract and testify. It's the best, I love it!

Well, I hope you are all doing well. Love you all!

Love
