Well on Saturday I probably had the biggest highlight of my mission! It was incredible! Adam got baptized! Qiao Yu Xiang!  Elder Mitchell and I found him on August 15th! I remember the day and location exactly! I can almost remember what Adam was wearing even! We were walking back to our car and I stopped him randomly! I had no intention of stopping him. We had somewhere to be and I usually never stop people when we are that close to the car....but the spirit prompted me to open my mouth and I did without thinking! We had asked him where a good place was to eat! He was more than happy to help! I then spoke some chinese and he was shocked! He was amazed! We asked to get his number and that was that! We texted him a couple times and he would respond! We finally got a lesson a couple weeks later and we started to teach him! He was completely atheist but happy to try and see if God was real. We explained about church and the sacrament! He came that first week! He had a very spiritual e...

Goodday everyone! Happy Easter weekend! I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend celebrating the amazing fact that Jesus Christ is Risen and alive today! I testify that He is Risen!  Weekly Highlights: -Well it has been 2 weeks since I have emailed! I had a rough week with lots of opposition, but this week was much better and we saw much success and many miracles!  -We tried out a new street contacting method of mass inviting to church and it has been very successful! We found 20 people this week! We went out for one hour and my poor companion only found 1, but I had found 5 haha. It is all about who you talk to! -We ran into someone from Utah who gave us 50 dollars! Gotta love Utah members! Very very rare to run into someone from Utah here! -We found and taught someone that I found almost 2 years ago at the beginning of my mission, but had never responded to our texts anymore. But we ran into him again in the mall and he is interested now. His name is Hernan and he might b...

Another quick email this week! I was writing down my experiences throughout the week and I am just going to share my thoughts and journal entries. It's not very well written because I was writing this down at 10pm at night haha. Hope you enjoy!  Wow, wow, wow what a day we had this week! Probably in the top 10 best days of my mission!  Started out by receiving revelation for what we should train on for zlc. That went great! The zone is coming off a week of 70 new people found! When I first came in, the zone was only finding 20.  Then we did personal study and read a talk about the vision to baptize. It was incredible! We then started to study all about baptism and the spirit opened Elder Suns and my eyes, mind, heart and things were just clicking left and right! We were amazed at how we needed to teach our friends about baptism as soon as we met them! It was a total mind-shift! We had the vision to baptize! It was a great spirit filled study morning!  We went in...
