"I feel the Savior's Love, for all the ones around me, His spirit lifts my soul, to serve all those I see!"

The board game shop was closed, but you can always count on the Puli Elders to think up a backup-plan. We played tellestrations for P-Day, and I have to say that it is one of the most laughable things I've ever done. That night we had a few lessons set up, but they all fell through, so we were on the streets and as usual, and as always there were people waiting for us to meet them! It just takes a little faith.

Oaker Song. Sounds like a TV show character, but he is actually an investigator that we finally got to meet with today! He is super cool, and we shared about the Restoration. He literally began the lesson by saying, "I love Jesus, but I don't know what church is His and which I should go to." Elder Hansen and I looked at each other and thought, "Well, do we have a story for you!" He took it pretty well, and from when we had met him he already read the introduction to the Book of Mormon and the Testimony of the Witnesses. It is so cool to see how prepared people are waiting for us wherever we go to find them.

We slogged all through the day with only 3 people adding to meet, but our goal was 4. A little resigned at 8:55, Elder Hansen and I headed back to the apartment, only to get a call from a contact that he wanted to meet right then! We went and met (which was the 4th add we needed) and he was a super cool Christian that was really interested in learning about the Book of Mormon. Thumbs up for last second miracles!

We went on exchanges today and I went over to Caotun while Elder Hansen stayed in Puli to work. Mine went pretty well, but Elder Hansen ran the area perfectly while I was gone! Not to say that was a miracle, I had complete faith in him, but it was cool to see him do it by himself. They also met with one of our investigators named Lian who said he knew the Book of Mormon was true! I'm so excited for him! He is moving right now, so he's not in Puli right now, but he is so amazing and I can't wait to teach him when he gets back!

A contact we met named Mrs. Liu was super cool tonight! We sat down in a 7-11 to teach her, and got as far as the 4th paragraph in the introduction before she interrupted and said she didn't believe in resurrection and didn't want it because she didn't want her enemies to live again. I tried reasoning with her and telling her about some bible scriptures that talked about Resurrection, but she wasn't having it. Elder Hansen was being a little more in tune and just insisted we keep reading from the Book of Mormon together, which brought the Spirit back in and helped her to calm down, and she agreed to pray about it when she went home that night. I'm so grateful for Elder Hansen and his discernment!

The hard work today paid off in 7 people setting up to meet with us today! Woohoo! We also spent a good amount of the day ensuring that a lot of investigators would come to church tomorrow, because if we are going to baptize them this transfer, they have to start coming tomorrow. So we set 3 people up to come and had a great night of contacting!

So, nobody came to church, which makes our goal a little bit harder to reach of baptizing 3 people this transfer. But right after church one of our contacts named Kobe called us and said he wanted to meet. We ran over there and sat down with him. He was really cool and wanted to understand our religion because he has a friend from our ward that goes to school with him. It was super cool! And then tonight we were tracting for the last hours of the week still 2 investigators away from getting our goal of 7, when we knocked on the door of a nice older couple who had met missionaries before and let us in to share. They said we could come back and check on them tonight and talk a little bit more about the Plan of Salvation, another last minute miracle!
The work is great, I love it. Truly I wouldn't rather be anywhere else. The Savior loves us all, and I know that He wants us to love like He did in all things. I love you all so much family!
