Another crazy week! Always so many ups and downs, but it always ends amazingly! There is always so much adversity or opposition before something incredible happens! Weekly Highlights: -Anyone who saw Elder Sun and I eating dinner would laugh. I eat with a bowl and chopsticks each night and he eats with a fork and a plate! It's quite hilarious! He cooks some amazing food for me! Except sometimes it is really spicy. He is from the spice capital of the world! So when he says its a little spicy that means I will be dripping sweat by the end of the meal! We had one meal this week that was so spicy, I got canker sores all over my mouth after I had eaten it!  -Tuesday we got news that we had to be out of our branch building by the end of 2 weeks without any news about another building....so that meant we would be "homeless" for a couple months. But then a couple days later President came in clutch and put his foot down and we now have the building until July!! So happy! One of t...

Well, well, well I am back for another email! And this is 2 weeks in a row which I have not been able to do in a long time!  Weekly Highlights: -The area seventy had a professional photographer come and video all of our friends at church last Sunday! It was crazy! He had a drone to video us getting off the bus! We call it the "blessings bus" because us missionaries and all of our friends take it to church. Just imagine the local public bus packed with 6 missionaries and 5 new members and 8 friends! It is a sight to see! And we are all on the bus at 9:30am in the morning! It is pretty epic! Anyways, this photographer videoed us walking into church and also our gospel principles class! We had 35 friends packed into that class with other new members so it was a total of 55 people! The ward and photographer were shocked. He was like wow! He then was able to video the baptism and was even more amazed!  He was videoing for a church article celebrating the church being in Australia ...

Well well well it has been another 2 weeks! Time is flying! I have time for a quick update!  Weekly highlights: -We had a fun p-day and got to watch some of The Chosen!  -There was a Chinese lady named Emily who was getting baptized and she really wanted to film a tik tok of me because she thought I would become famous in China because I spoke Chinese and am a  帅哥。   -We got to have dinner at the Temple President's house which was fun! They have a random connection to Sister Lybbert in my ward back home! Small world! -We had another member meal with a beast member from America! It was so fun to have dinner with his small little family! He had 4 kids and it made me really miss home! I missed those fun random dinner conversations!  -We have been able to put our friends Shuyu and Danny on date for baptism in April! They are both Chinese and very keen on changing their lives to come to Jesus!  -Our Saturdays have become so beast! We literally spend all day teac...
