Baptism In A Bathtub

中秋节快乐！

Hello Everyone! 

I officially have 7 P-days left... Weird to think about! 

This week we saw many miracles! We had exchanges with our ZL's this week and poor Elder Prada wasn't ready for Chinese land haha. We mainly drive to parks to find Chinese people. We pulled up to one of our usual parks and BOOM! The park had turned into China! We were there for over an hour talking to different Chinese people. Almost all of them were interested and met with us the next day.

We met with a new family by the name of the Huang's. Great family looking for a church their son Jack is a little quiet, he is about my age. They were so confused about how we knew Chinese. They also came to our English class the following day.

About 1 hour after their lesson we taught a woman by the name of Maggie. She has been Christian for about 5 years and was baptized in China. However, had forgotten a lot so we started from square 0. She came to church on Sunday and loved it. She ended up in Primary the whole time because her daughter wouldn't let her leave but that's ok. She is reading and praying every day.

Last but not least we also met with a woman by the name of Joanna. Wow, she is a fireball. Her lesson was so amazing, we explained the importance of baptism and she stops me. She said, "I was baptized last week" . She proceeds to show us a video of her in a bathroom with about 8 Chinese people all singing and dancing. They filled up her bathtub and the pastor baptized her in the bathtub.... It was one of the oddest things I had seen. She asked after, "Is this serious enough?" We began to explain our churches way of doing it and the necessity of Authority. She goes, "Oh ok I am going to get baptized again. When can I get baptized"? She is looking great and we are excited for her and the progression she is making.

This week was 中秋节 (Mid-Autumn Festival). Which is a big holiday in China. Out here for us it just really made it hard to get appts, haha but oh well happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

Work is going great and time is just teleporting at this point. 

Love ya guys!!
