Week #104....One more week to go! Leaving it all out on the table!

2 years goes by fast. I think sooner than not I am going to be in the grave. Better cherish every moment you got. 

This week was amazing like usual. 

We went to Marina Bay Sands on Monday! Singapore is amazing! (see pictures!) 

We are going to be having baptisms for the next 3 weeks straight! We are way excited for this area! It is amazing! I love China so much. I love Chinese. I love it all. The members are so amazing. 

In our ward we are doing a mission prep class. I am getting to train 5 future missionaries which is amazing. They are going to be the greatest 5 missionaries ever. 

I gave them 3 challenges in order to graduate. You all are free to try this as well. 

1. Get one person's phone number who is interested in learning more about the gospel. 

2. Invite someone to be baptized in a lesson with missionaries. 

3. Plan out a part of a day with the missionaries and then go and do your plan! 

It has been so much fun to work with them! 

I love this so much! Have a blessed day! 

and a blessed day! Mom and Dad! See you in a week! :) 

Love,

week #103...I love this.

I only have two weeks left. 

I love this so much. I love being a missionary. I love representing the person I love. My Savior and Redeemer.

These next two weeks are going to be crazy. Our area is exploding right now. We had 10 investigators at church last week. And taught a lot of member present lessons. 

I literally feel like I am serving in China. And that is obviously against the law but we spend a lot of time in Chinatown. We do language study there and literally it feels like I serve in China. This is probably one of the most unique areas in the world. I feel so blessed. I am able to serve in a ward from China and yet not be in China because that is against the law. This area is unbelievable. The members are unbelievable. 

Recent converts are the best. Thank you for all the gifts that I have been getting lately :) (see picture below) 

We have a state champion runner in our house. He is giving us some sweet running workouts in the morning :) 

Miracles are real. That is all I can say. Some things I just cannot deny. And that is that miracles are real. 

I gave a 20 minute talk this week in Chinese in Sacrament meeting. It felt way smooth. Never could have done that at the beginning of my mission. 

Also this week started a mission prep class. We have some awesome youth in our ward. Teaching them how to talk to people :) it is awesome. 

Love you all

Week #102...Happiness is a choice.

I had that realization this week. People always say that but really it is that way. No matter what we are going to have good days and bad days. But we can always choose to be happy. 

Why not choose?:) 

We had a baptism this week. her name is 罗琳琪，or Luo Lin Qi. 

She is from China and awesome. That is the first person from China that I have been a part of baptizing! Super awesome. People from China have the best chinese there is, along with people from Taiwan. 

I am in love with Chinese and the culture. The language is amazing. I feel like in this area I have really began to understand loving the people. Even though you know you will only be in an area for so long you can't help but fall in love with the members. They are amazing. 

Shout out to Gabe and Dad for sending me some new workouts this week. That was awesome. Really useful. If you have any more feel free to send them over :) 

I wish you all could feel the spirit of a mission. It is hard to describe it over an email. But it is amazing. Mom and Dad when you come in 3 weeks I hope I can help you feel some of that. 

That is definitely what I am going to miss the most. Being able to represent the Savior to all. 

Love you all, 

This week will you show you love for God by inviting them to learn the gospel? I promise you won't regret it :)
