Hey everyone!

so this week has been so good! we had a very slow week if you look at what we were able to do and how many lessons we were able to teach but overall i feel like we did our best! i had many experiences where prayers were answered and where my testimony was strengthened. to start we started out on about thursday saying more prayers when we head out so that we rely more on the lord for everything. on friday we were saying a prayer to ask where we should go in order to find the people who were prepared on the street. the first time we didn’t really recieve a solid answer so…. so we prayed again! then right when we finished our prayer this guy jumps in and says “I love the book of mormon!!” in chinese of course. so we talk to him and end up setting up to meet with him again! it turns out that he’s a little crazy and we shouldn’t meet with him….. but! story two!

we were finding at this park and we again said two prayers as to where we should go then we ended up running into this guy who was with his family who was a past investigator and he said he wanted to come back to church so we got his name. he only told us his english name which was sam so we got that and his number than went on our way. met another super cool old guy that loves americans and then a less active let us in so we could talk with them! it was awesome! but thats not all!

Then on sunday we were finding and weren’t having luck at all…. so we said another prayer and we decided to go look for these less actives around the park. there were 4 of them so we said another prayer to see who we should meet. then we ended up choosing this cai dixiong. so we ended up going to his house and we got in there and this guy just invites us up and makes us feel right at home and the entire time im thinking “this guy is very nice for just meeting us this is strange and he looks soooo familiar” it turns out its the guy that we saw in the park and he didn’t tell us that he had been baptized so we thought he was just a past investigator! we taught him and his entire family it was so cool!!

From these experiences and a lot more little ones i can say that god hears and really does answer prayers! i have no doubt in my mind that these things would not have happened had we not asked and relied on the lord to help us do his work! i love you all and hope that you can have some experiences of your own!

have a great week!
