Week 56: flying tomatoes and member referrals

hey 大家好!

Yesterday we were sitting in Sacrament meeting when all of a sudden a cherry tomato came flying and splattered onto my leg. I looked around SO CONFUSED to see a mortified mother holding her young son's arms in and mouthing 『不好意思不好意思!』to me hahahahah dyinggg

Yep you guessed it- when the tomato hit, I actually squeak-laughed out loud DURING THE SPEAKER and our investigators sitting next to us were really confused cuz no one saw the tomato!! All around it was a terribly hilarious stream of events and I apologized to the brother who was speaking afterwards hahah (dat tomato though :')) 

Anyway, this week we realized that all of our most incredible progressing investigators are MEMBER REFERRALS! We have been going so hard with using all the methods of finding that Preach My Gospel talks about and member work is the best thing of life. Everyone has friends they want to share with but a lot of times knowing where to start is the hardest part! SO we have been visiting members and supporting them by helping them set missionary plans and goals. It is so incredible to see the miracles that have come from working with members as we currently are working with 11 member-referral investigators!!

Please pray for them 可以嗎?:)

I was reading a talk Mama sent recently and it's called "Believing Christ". Every day we meet people who know that Christ was hung on the cross and my favorite question we get is "Why?" Why was Jesus hung on the cross? Thinking about this question inspires me each day because I know that because He was hung on the cross, I have undying hope and ability to change, progress and ultimately live in eternal bliss. I love what President Monson says: "One of God’s greatest gifts to us is the joy of trying again, for no failure ever need be final."

I LOVE being a 傳教士姐妹 and seeing the Atonement of Christ change lives each day. The Lord is so merciful and I know if we give Him our heart, our pride & our fears, He will shape and direct our lives.

I'm so grateful for each new day God gives us all to live and serve and try our best! breathe my friends....we be livin'

I love you all and HAPPY ACTUAL BIRTHDAY TO MY 爸爸!!I love you daddy and I am celebrating 49 years of the best dad in the world over here on a little island in the sea<3 (don't edit your age out hahahah)
