11/21/2016

Well family, It's going to be a short one! It was a solid week and we faced some major opposition but it's all good. We really saw the Lords Hand this week and my testimony had grown in that He is always mindful of us. K had his baptism moved to next week and has faced a lot of opposition from family and friends in India and he has been a bit worried but still is so committed. He knows it's what he needs to do and he is going to do it! So we are beyond excited for him. J is also doing super well. He and K will be having their baptisms on the same day and it'll just be way cool, they have kind of been on the journey together in a way and have sat by eachother at Church so they will really enjoy having it together. 


We had a solid Thanksgiving dinner this week at the Edwards and it was lovely. I'm sure Brother Edwards sent you some photos hahaha but they are the best. They always feed us and always support us. So we have a good time when we are over there. We are teaching quite a bit of Chinese students to be honest. Like 7 at the moment hahaha. It's funny because both Elder Lindsey and I served in Britannia and we are just super super in love with teaching Chinese people Haha so we find a lot of them up at the university. 

Teaching via Skype

We had quite a few exchanges this week which was super good. Hahaha It's funny because the elders get pretty sad when they find out they have to use buckets to shower hahaha but it's all good. We should get it fixed soon. It's super fun in the mornings too because we play football with everyone for exercise and it's just a good time. 

Lords Hand 

We had a really cool experience this week. So we had to buy some laundry detergent one night and while we were in the store I looked at this man and just felt deep down by looking at him that he was a good guy. He was with his Daughter and they just looked like a lovely family. It was interesting because it wasn't a prompting of "oh wait for this man and talk to him when he leaves the store!" It was just "he's a good man, he would love the gospel." Elder Lindsey and I left the store and I turned to him and asked him if he had felt the same as I did about the man and his daughter and he did! So we waited for him to come out with his daughter and we just talked to him! Turns out her had met a few missionaries in a different area but hadn't really done much, so we talked and talked and we set up a time to see him next week. His name is M and he is just brilliant. It was just a super cool experience to see that the spirit didn't give us a direct prompting until we asked eachother and it connected perfectly as companions. We really saw the Lords Hand in that! 

Well I love you guys. Sad the Utes lost. But it's alright. Sweet that the leopards won!!!!! I love you guys! 
No short cuts
