This week was kinda crazy.  We ended up going on exchange three times this week.  The STLs double booked appointments at the same time and needed our help to teach them.  The next was our real exchange (SLEEPOVER WOOHOO).  I spent the whole day with Sister Eggett.  She is amazing.  She only has one transfer left, so basically she's as perfect as a missionary can be.  Seriously she is so amazing and I want to be like her when I grow up.  She has so much love for everyone she meets and teaches.   The next exchange was so Sister Yu could teach a lesson in Chinese in the STLs' area.  It was a little bit of a crazy week and we didn't spend a ton of time in our own area.  

MIRACLE FROM LAST WEEK:  Juliane, from Brazil, got baptised.  She had been learning for 6 months or so and finally made the decision to be baptised.  I bawled the whole time at her baptism.  She has read the whole Book of Mormon and half of the D&C.  She is at church every week and feeds the missionaries after.  She is a little missionary herself.  She invited so many of her friends to her baptism and she even brought a less active man back to church this last week.  She has a special place in my heart and I would rank it the 3rd best baptism I've been to. (Mine, Jessie's, hers).  

Sister Yu loves the Christmas packages and is so excited everyday when we get to open a new one.  She also had never had a tootsie roll and got so excited to eat one. We filmed it and it was so funny.  She said "whoa.....that's good" and then a few minutes later she said "what even is this?" hahahha it was so funny.

We are still working hard with our investigators.  ____ should get back from America this week and hopefully he will be baptised this Saturday.  We are praying for him since we haven't been able to contact him for 3 weeks.

_____ is still working on believing in God and continues to progress even though he doesn't see it or recognize it in himself.  He is comfortable praying and continues to pray every day.  We are trying to find the balance of pushing him and letting him take his time to recognize the Spirit.  

I have developed so much love for all the people we work with and I really want this to be a part of their life.  I love each of them so much and get so excited when they keep commitments.

I love you and hope you have a great week!
