"Count your many blessings, number really fast.
Count your many blessings while the blessings last!
Count your blessings, even to a million-and-two
Count your many blessings till the day is through."

We spent our first P-Day together going around eating ice cream and looking at some super cool notebooks in a nearby mall. After P-Day ended we went to go see Brother Cheng, a man we just ran into on the street. He is a really awesome man who believes in a lot of gods, but he is willing to understand how to get to know his Heavenly Father. I think that's one of the most amazing things I see, is just watching people start their process of remembering how close they can be to God.

Today we were guided to meet a less active member named Sister Yang. She just got back from France, she was working there and she hasn't been to church in a long time. She has a lot of interesting questions and concerns, but we were able to just simply testify about the reality of God and how we need to trust Him. Life had a lot of doubts and questions, but we truly just need to trust Him and exercise our faith.

We were on exchanges and had a lot of cool lessons today. One was with a Mrs. Song (not River) who just got back from China. She has a lot of interesting thoughts, a very logical person, but in the end of the lesson she admitted that she wanted to find something she could rely on, like a God or a religion, which is exactly the kind of prepared person we always pray to be put in our way.

During exchanges Elder Fanning and Elder Tan ran into a new investigator, Sister Xie, who met with them today before district meeting and she set her own baptismal date in the first meet! Right now we are aiming for a March 10th baptismal date. We are so excited! It has been a really amazing week of just running into those people who have honest hearts and are willing to work to remember their Father.

We had a very, very hectic day today. Half of our lessons changed times, and we were luckily on exchanges so we could take all of them. I went and visited Sporty, our investigator who lives in Jinmen but is back in Gaoxiong for Chinese New Year. It was good to see him again! This week has just basically been full of good teaching and finding prepared people, which is all blessings that God has chosen to give us that we are so grateful for.

We had some fun opportunities to serve today! One of our members invited us to come over and help clean front doors for Chinese New Year, since everyone cleans for the new year. It was pretty fun! And she fed us chicken and blueberry muffins, so I was pretty satisfied with the results of today.

This morning was so great. A month ago Elder Fuller and I contacted a man in a park reading a newspaper, and he set up but didn't show. I didn't think much of it, but then we called him this week and he was willing to meet. We got there and he was sitting waiting for us. It was an amazingly spiritual lesson which we taught him about his relationship with God and how to pray. He teared up when we told him about how God will answer him. He said he has been looking for a "door of light" in his life and he thinks this was it. We also got to attend a scripture study fireside organized by the Sisters in Lingya which went great!
It was an amazing week for which I need to express much more gratitude than is possible for me to do. Being a missionary has given me some of my greatest blessings and learning experiences. I know that the Savior lives and watches over us. Thank you all and have a great week!
