hey everyone!

so this week we had another baptism! the Elders we share an apartment with have been teaching this family, the guo family, and they had their baptismal interview and did so well! it is so exciting to see them make such great progress! The Dad and his two kids accepted baptism, they have made such great progress and im super excited to see that 🙂

on another note… our investigator Leo just has his baptismal interview for this week!! we went over them with him already and he was just honest and we helped him realize that he is so ready! ah! i cannot even express how happy i am to see him make these steps! the only sad thing is… is that transfers are next week… so i am not going to see him baptized but i am so greatful to have the chance to teach him while i could have!

Oh another super crazy miracle/exciting thing. I don’t know if any of you remember but a month or two ago we were teaching a Brother Bai, then he moved back to china with his wife… but this week he came back! we were at a church activity and all the sudden he comes up behind me and says "Elder Meng!" (his english isn’t that bad, they like to say elder then our xing 🙂 ) but i was so confused because i knew he was in china but he is actually back for the next little bit so we are going to catch up and see what we can do to help him out! he said he is super willing to get baptized if its alright with his mom. super sick guy!

This area of Taidong has been so good to me, i have learned a lot and have met some of the greatest people. I am going to be sad to leave if i have to but i can also say that i am so stoked to go to another place just as amazing as Tai Dong! Happiness is a choice, so lets be happy!

Love you all!
