Hello Everybody!!!

Well this week was really good!!! We had alot of good things happen. The weather is really starting to get cold. Wearing my New fancy dancy Karrimor Jacket every day. It is the Avalanche model. Quite nice i do say. It does very well at being waterproof on the outside and nice and cozy on the inside. I am quite glad with it. But yea. It has been a good week!!!

We have been working alot with Wen Qian. I still dont know how to spell her name exactly... but i will go with this one. you say it wen chien. Chinese spellings. go figure. but she is suuuuper solid. We taught her the last of the commandments this week. and her date is at the end of this week. So we are suuuuper pumped. she is so cool. She has become like our best friend. She even made us hot pot this week!!! You should google it. It is so dang tasty. WHEW. She is so cool. She came to church and is doing fantastic.

We also had a really solid lesson with Lu this week. we taught him and he wants to get baptized! He wants to do it so we are super pumped about it!!! His date is on the 12th of december. Hopefully he can be ready for that date and make his first covenent.

We also saw Shi Cong a couple of times this week. We had a really good lesson about the word of wisdom. which is hard for a lot of College students to hear. But he said that he will try. He really loves god and he really wants to follow him. It is so commendable of him and we are hoping he accepts a date soon.

Something amazing happened this week. Elder battles baptized a girl the week before i came in, her name was Xiao Bo and we baptized Jing Hui. This week they went to the temple in preston to do baptisms. It was so amazing to see Jing hui and Xiao Bo go to the temple. We have been working with them alot and it is so amazing to be able to see them go to the temple. There is a really cool statistic if recent converts go to the temple within a 3 months of their baptism they are 80 percent likely to stay active in the church. Wow. I am so pumped. They both loved the temple and the peace it broght them.

in england, there is no thanksgiving. :( so Christmas stuff is already up. And it is everywhere. usually after halloween is thanks giving, so seeing christmas stuff go up right after halloween is pretty crazy.

Well i love all of you guys!!! I am so happy to be out here serving the lord and doing his will!!! I wouldnt rather be anywhere else at this time!!!

Keep it real!
