2/15/2015 - Wonderful Week - Baptism

Sister Zhang getting baptized! :) 




My son and I doing some service together. It was great fun! 


My comp and I downed a ten bucket of KFC. So great! 

This is my recent convert and his family going through the temple together!!! It was so amazing!!! 





Friends and Fam!

Sister Zhang got baptized! It was a wonderful service with a great turnout from the ward! I believe Sister Zhang really felt the love of the members and had her faith increased. She will need some sincere care during the next few months and while I am here I will do my best to make sure that happens.

I am so grateful to God for all of the wonderful blessings he has given to me especially as I have served in this area. I have tried harder here then I have my whole mission combined and have certainly seen the results. I have grown to love so many people in this area and have made lifelong friends. My RC's Sister Chen, Brother Wu, and Sister Zhang will be forever etched into my heart. There are three others who we are working with who are also really close to being able to be baptized! 

Yesterday morning Paul, an amazing investigator, texted us and thanked us so much for teaching him the gospel. He hasn't smoked for two weeks now! If we met with him this week we will review the baptismal interview questions and see if he is ready! He might still need some time but if he gets baptized it will be on eof the greatest miracles I've ever seen. But if he doesn't it still is a miracle because he has improved the quality and happiness of his life and to me that is a huge success and a major reason why I came on my mission. 

Sharon is a new and Golden investigator. She is a Christian but is looking for something a little more than what she knows right now. She is a flight attendant so her work schedule is a little crazy but she set a baptismal date for Mar. 21st. She has a huge desire to know if the restored gospel is true. 

Claire is also amazing. She is in the "I just want to understand" stage but she has already read through 1st Nephi and is really enjoying the BOM. She set a baptismal goal for the 21st as well. I really hope that I stay in this area so I am able to see all the success that is going to occur! 

I got to see my Recent Convert Brother Zhang go through the temple with his family this week. It was definitely the highlight of my entire mission. He has changed so much and has become a real father figure and great husband. He was so happy and his wife was even happier. I will send you some pictures. I definitely believe that families are forever!!! I love my family so freakin much!!! 

Love you all and have a wonderful week!
