God Is Good

God Is On The Move

Man oh MANN! What a week we had!

We were able to put 7 people on date for baptism this week and found 8 new people to teach this week. The Lord has been blessing us as we have stayed diligent. We met so many prepared people this week.

First-person we taught this week was named Jacob! Jacob is a huge miracle. He found us on WeChat and asked if he could be baptized when he came to America. However, he only has 10 days... which is a lot shorter than it normally takes to be baptized. We began meeting with him every day to help him be ready. He has been absorbing everything like a sponge and excelling very quick. We think he will hit his goal of baptism for this Thursday! A huge miracle that came from out of nowhere. We are so excited for him and the diligence he has put in to learn. He has definitely been prepared by the Lord.

Another amazing family we met with this week go by the name of Jimmy and Nancy. We met Jimmy outside really late at night shirtless smoking. He was EXTREMELY interested and wants to find a Christian church. We met with them on Friday and they ate up everything we taught. They took baptismal dates with no hesitation and came to church on Sunday! GOD IS GOOD! They look very solid and are meeting again with us this week.

In conclusion, we are meeting with a ton of peeps right now. Too many to write about all of them which would also be a lot for you guys to read! Just know that we are seeing many miracles! 

Also, the fact I go home next month is FREAKING ME OUT! But I am working to the end, that is for sure! 

Love all of you have a great week! 

Sorry no pictures this week, WE WERE SWAMPED ALL WEEK!

This week Ben talked more about Joanna (the woman who was baptised in the bathtub). She wanted the Elders to go with her to Ashley Furniture to translate a problem she was having with a purchase. She wanted to return some furniture 30 days later and the manager was not having it.  Needless to say, they spent time translating and negotiating with Ashley Furniture on her behalf. It was a little out of the norm, but nice to do something a little different. LOL

The boys ended up having a crowd of people and employees around them wanting to hear them speak Chinese. Most of them could not believe they spoke the language. Haha

Ben is now the "Dead Missionary" which is what you are called when you are almost done with your mission. LOL Apparently all the other missionaries start to make fun of you for being the "OLD" one. 😁 He is struggling between excited to come home and NOT wanting to be done. Of course we are thrilled to see our son, but we know how much his mission means to him and all that he is learning. I know the Lord is blessing him and will help him work hard through this last stretch. Ben is right...GOD IS GOOD! ♥
