Happy Chinese New Year everyone! As we were biking around the city this past week, we said "恭喜發財" and people happily yell it back, meaning "congratulations get rich!"
I am loving this season and loving sharing the gospel during such a family-centered holiday! We have had some amazing miracles this week with bringing our investigators to qingke's with us. (qingke= being invited to someone’s home to be fed) Last night we invited a woman named Tina to bike to a qingke with us! She rented a U-bike and did the 30 minute bike ride with us out to 吳興街 Something that I love about Tina is that she observes and thinks before she speaks. Like you can tell she is thinking and pondering and then when she feels like she needs to say something she says it. It’s inspiring! Tina’s baptism is coming up on February 25!!
A few nights ago 陳宇刪 came to the 季家庭 (the Ji family) with us for lunch. The Ji family is amazing! They opened their home and completely loved and welcomed 陳宇刪. Something to know about 陳宇刪 is that her parents passed away during the New Year 8 years ago and she is the only child. So every New Year season has been painful since it's a holiday where the whole family gets together. I’m grateful that Heavenly Father put us in each others paths at this time so that she could find hope through the gospel and just feel some love and support. She kept commenting what an amazing family the Ji family. They really are such a great example of how we are all God's children, no matter if we know each other that well or not, and how everyone needs and deserves love.
Here's a few of the latest happenings:
1. My sleeping patterns according to my companions: Our smoke alarm went off in the middle of the night last night but I 100% absolutely did not hear it. Apparently I didn't even move. This morning my comps said they were worried about me because of how hard I sleep hahaha THANK GOODNESS FOR COMPANIONS! (there was no fire, the batteries just needed changed). Sister Watson she could hear me talking in my sleep in Chinese. Apparently, I was yelling but just saying normal conversational things. My comps said this wasn’t the first time it’s happened hahah
2. The Deep Clean: One Chinese New Year tradition is everyone deep cleans their homes. Gets rid of all the junk, scrub it down, scrub it deep. So President Jergensen (actually it was probably more Sister Jergensen haha) went along with this tradition and all missionaries stayed in Friday night and all day Saturday to deep clean their apartments. BUT joke's on us because our apartment is HUGE, so we called in the troops (the other sisters in our area) and will be cleaning all day today!
Well I love all of you over there in the land of fresh broccoli and Bath and Body Works! I know the gospel is true, that Jesus Christ wants us to know Him and the plan that God has for us.
