GUO QI XIANG'S
BAPTISM!!! with Guo DX, Guo JM, and Chen Ren Jie baptizing him
Libai yi kuaile!! Happy Monday!
Boy do I have news today! We had so many awesome miracles
this week. But first, happy birthday to Grandpa Sumner, and happy anniversary
to you and grandma as well! Dad, I'm stoked about your new calling! The MTC
will bring you so much joy (:
So First of all, Guo Qi Xiang DX got baptized!! It was a
great service, and the spirit was just so strong. He came up out of the
water and just looked so happy! I got to introduce him, and I didn't do too
bad! I couldn't help but think as I sat next to him that he's come so far to
get to this point. Both of us have, really. Even just since I met
him. This week, we were literally out of ideas of what to share
with them. We've taught all 5 lessons (multiple times haha), we watched
the resto DVD, even talked about and gave them a family proclamation! So we
decided to have a little testimony meeting. Both Guo JM and DX's
testimonies were so powerful! Guo JM said that at work, she looks for
opportunities to help others because that's what Jesus would do. Guo DX
said he always knew what he had was special. The fact that we have one God,
let alone our loving Father in Heaven, was the biggest thing that really got
his attention. He knows the Book of Mormon is true, and that Joseph Smith
really saw Tianfu and Jesus Christ. When we asked them why they both want
to be baptized, Guo JM said, "I want to be baptized because I love God,
and he wants me to be baptized." and Guo DX said, "I have finally
found what I'm looking for." AHH!!!! They're amazing. Seriously, I
could go on forever. But I'll stop. I love Guo jiating (:
One last district pic
:( Elders Gray, Wheeler, Mertz, and Francis, and me and Sister Strong
Our last pic with
Craig! He's the best member ever! and Huang JM, one of our investigators
We had a temple tour training, and our mission really has
some big goals! Since we have temple sisters that do tours at the church by the
temple, they really want it to become like another visitor's center. So
when we do temple tours, we'll get ipads, and do a lot of other upgrading
stuff. I just love mission meetings because that means we get to listen to
President Jergensen. He is so easy to relate to! He knows exactly what we need,
not just as missionaries, but as individuals. Ah he's great (:
Another free cake from an investigator! Next time, we're hoping for steak
I'm almost finished with Phase 1, lessons 1-3! So I should
be right on track to be completely finished at the end of this transfer in 6
weeks. Everyone says I'm going really fast, but I don't really see any
other way to do it, haha. I'm sick of ting bu dong-ing anywhere other
than in a lesson! I will learn Chinese!
A taipei district
came down for p day to go to the
Fulong beach with us, but it was closed
because of the taifeng :( Still fun though!
Somehow, I always seem to find Sister Jensen...
Yesterday before Sacrament meeting started, like 30 Mexicans
walked in the chapel! Haha that's something I was not expecting. It was
so fun to talk to them though! And they were all from Joseph's misson! They're
here for a festival thing in Dongshan, which is in our area. Anyway, I
don't know why but having them there just made me feel at home. I've
completely forgotten how to speak spanish, but listening to them was awesome
because I could understand them. Now Chinese from the pulpit and Spanish
coming from behind me almost blew my mind, but I lived through it haha. The
spirit was so strong though! Just knowing that the church is exactly
the same anywhere you go in the world was such a cool thing to think about. Guo
DX got confirmed, and they had no idea what they were saying, but they knew
what was happening because it's all the same. Hurray for the true church!
Playing a uke on the train? Seems like a pretty chill p-day activity
Have I told you about Lin Xian Shan yet? He's legit.
We found him on exchanges with Sister Graham, and he was baptized Christian 10
years ago, and has read the bible a few times. He's so sincere though and
he's already come to church twice. He came up to us after the baptism,
and said, "I know this book is true!" Haha both me and Sister Strong
were both like "what? We just gave it to you yesterday!" So apparently he prayed
right after we left and told God to that if the garbage outside his house from
the taifeng is gone, then he'll believe the BOM is true. What do you
know, it was all gone! I don't know how it happened, but that was enough for
him! Haha miracles really do happen.
Well, that's enough happiness for one email! This week was
really just wonderful. We're just enjoying to the end over here in Yilan.
Love, Feng Jiemei
Update from Elder Herrera in Thomaston, Georgia--Christ Deal finally got baptized!
