A good P-Day! I took the whole day getting to Gaoxiong and moving in, and then that night we had a really cool lesson with an investigator here named Brother Zhong. He is a little introverted guy, but it was super cool to share the Plan of Salvation with him, and it made him think of how loving God is. I love sharing this with people who don't understand the hope our lives can have.

My first full day here in Qianzhen! We did a little bit of contacting until tonight when we sat down with our Ward Mission Leader and our investigator Brother Wei. He is also really cool. He was Christian, but wants to learn more about our Church. He left the lesson asking us why we were all so "enthusiastic about the Gospel" which was an easy question to answer. The Gospel pretty much helps me find all the happiness that matters in life. He really wants to feel like God loves him, and I can't wait for him to find what he's looking for.
We traveled to Shizhong for our first baptismal interview! It was for the Elders, and it's a really faithful guy who has been investigating forever. He is still working on overcoming the word of Wisdom, but he had a super spiritual experience in the interview when Elder Yang promised him some specific blessings about joining the church. I love how amazing it is to work with the Spirit and know what people need to hear!

Tonight at dinner we met with another awesome investigator named Zhou. He is a high school student trying to work up the courage to let his family know he's been meeting with us missionaries. So we decided that this Sunday we would fast with him so he has a chance to tell his parents about the Gospel that is CHANGING HIS LIFE. I love this area. It has a great mix of city that I love and other types of places like parks and big streets to contact on, and all the investigators we have really just want to make a change in their lives. It is so fun to see the Spirit work within them. I love sharing this gospel so much!
We had weekly planning and then went to an American diner to celebrate me turning 20 years old! It had super huge burgers, and if it's your birthday you can pick a prize, and I picked the prize that made the meal free. Haha! Great birthday! ;-) And then we went to a lesson that night at our Bishop's house with Mrs. Xu. She is a great mom who really wants the Gospel to help her family become happier. Lucky enough, we can help with that. It's so crazy to see how many prepared people there are everywhere you go!
One of our Recent Converts invited us over for free soup today! Things just get better and better every day. Other than that today was all contacting. A pretty long one, but we were able to run into some cool new people.

My new ward is great! There are a lot of great members I'm super excited to meet. Moving to a new area is super hard. You miss the companions and the people, but it's amazing how much God has in store for the next step of my journey. I trust God, that He has a great plan here for His Children, including me. I'm excited to see how it turns out. It was also super cool today because at the end of the night we hadn't found anything, but then we prayed, and the last 10 minutes found 2 super cool people. I love you all so much my family! My Friends! My fellows and compatriots! Have an amazing week!
