because I'm going back to my God so readily!"

After a fun P-Day, we got back to the chapel in time for our district leader Elder Shakespear to do the baptismal interview for Sister Xu! It went really well, and she is so close to getting baptized. We prayed for her so hard this week because I know Satan does not want her to take these steps in her life that will lead to her and her family's eternal happiness. I can't wait for her to make it! She has even talked about wanting her 7-year-old son to get baptized next year when he is 8!

We had our last exchanges for the transfer today with the Elders from Cuihua. I went with Elder Tang, who was actually my Trainee's companion in the MTC. It was fun to work with him. We taught a lesson to one of our Baptismal goals, Sister Chen. She has a lot of hard things going on in her life, but we read the Book of Mormon with her, and at the end of the lesson she took it and told us she promised to read it, because she felt like it really could help her feel happiness. I testify that it does, because when you read it with a humble heart, Heavenly Father will send the Spirit to guide and help you.

Today was honestly just a contacting day. Not much happened, but every day working for the Lord and inviting people to truly come to Christ (Where everyone wants to be) is a gift.

We traveled over to Cuihua today to do a language pass off for the same Elder Tang that I exchanged with. It is so amazing to see so many missionaries come to serve the Lord. We are all different, with different ideas and thoughts and experiences, but the Lord individually called us all for our love for Him and what we can do in His service. Then tonight we met with a new investigator, Sister Zhan! She has the cutest 3 year old daughter that she brings to church. She has come twice now, and we shared the Restoration with her. She said that she believed it! And is willing to learn more! There are so many prepared people out there, and I'm so grateful to be a part of this.

Brother Wei is so incredible. He had his baptismal interview tonight. He has been a member of another denomination for 20 years, and has come to find the fullness of the gospel. When the interview began, he said he "Didn't have a reason not to believe in Joseph Smith," which is usually less than what we like to hear. But then as he said the closing prayer, he also bore his testimony and said, "Heavenly Father, I know that Joseph Smith was Your prophet." The Spirit and the restored Gospel changes lives and gives so much hope!

We had a lot of.... children of God today. The first was a man we set up with named "Ha." A man walked in and we sat him down and shared the Restoration, and in the end he told us, my name isn't "Ha, I don't know who you guys are looking for. I just wanted to check out English and activities." So we accidentally taught a random guy, but it was the luckiest accident ever for him. Then tonight we met a man who gave us fruit, which I always like, and told us that all Gods of all religions are aliens. I love this place.

A Sabbath of joy. Today Sister Xu Li Ming and Brother Wei Shun Fu were baptized. Elder Yang baptized Brother Wei and one of our Recent Converts Wen baptized Sister Xu. I just watched their new lives begin. An experience like this cannot be described with words. I am so grateful to be here serving. Because the Lord will look after all His children, and they all have a chance to come unto Christ.
