so to start off i just want to talk about some super good news i recieved this last week!!! there is this family that me and Elder Welch were teaching back in gui shan and they were awesome and once this week while visiting our bishop he told me that the bishops wife from that ward had been trying to get in touch with me because this famliy was getting baptized!! they actually wanted me to come up there and help them get baptized but i am all the way down here so there is no way of going up…. i asked.. haha! but either way this is a picture from when we were first teaching them and right before i left to come down to hua lian.
this is a picture of their baptism!!! i can’t even tell you how excited i am for them! they are such a cute little family đ all the missionaries in this picture are super great too but i am not actually sure which missionaries are serving there right now. either way im super excited for them đ
As for this week down here in feng lin we had another great week!! i am loving it here! this last week we were able to meet with the wang family and i mentioned last time that one big concern that the wife had was about prophets and whether or not Joseph Smith was truly called of God. so we invited her to read and pray specifically for this question and she did! when we came back she said that it was something that she and her husband both believe! super awesome!!! also when we visited them last night we read the book of mormon with them just starting at the very beginning and as we were reading she was having all these questions (because she is busy with work and other stuff she says she forgets to read so she hasn’t been reading much, the husband is actually retired and a stay at home dad so he reads a lot!) so while she was asking all these questions he was just like "actually this is what a prophet is…. this is why we need them…. this is what the book is talking about…" just answering all the questions that she was asking and it was great!! just another reminder that the book of mormon answers all the questions that you will run into! so go and read it everybody!! đ
other than that i had a fun time this week making cookies in a toaster, eating a cake that my bishop gave to me, eating candy that was given to me by a member in from my very first area, and wearing a super good looking tie that was also given to me. the people here are too nice! 
I also got a package from my mom! gave me a sweet bandit mustache along with some very good looking socks…. they made me happy đ
life is good! transfers are this week but i don’t think i will be moving but anything is possible! so we will see what this next transfer will hold for us đ love you all! å æ˛šīŧ
