COOL HUH?!?! Haha I am really excited to get to do this. Now where will SIster Thornley be training at I wonder????......

宜蘭!!!!!!!

cant read that?? No worries YILAN! HAHA I am staying here for another 2 transfers at least! :) hehe its okay though I am happy and okay with it!

So what happened this week? Miracles. This week we saw our precious Margie get baptized! It was so awesome. This is the third baptism I have had while on island and this was the best one ever because I was at peace and relaxed about it all. Such a blessing. She is phillapean so the service was a bit stressful as we had to be either translating for Margie or translating for the branch but it was fun They all are very supportive of
her.

Hmm... I had other things I wanted to write to you all but I kind of forgot them.. I appologize I have kind of gotten a bit off in knowing what to write about and stuff. I know you all want to hear stories... oh i know!! Okay last night we took a train and went down to the south part of our area. Its called Suao. anyway we went down there to find one of our less actives who was just baptized in August so she shouldnt be less active. we had been trying for weeks to get a hold of her and set up but she was ignoring our calls so we decided we would go pay her a surprise visit. Well... except that I had only been there twice and she had always driven us. Well we got lost. I prayed so hard that Heavenly Father would open my mind and be able to lead me where to go. Well I remembered.. We were going the wrong way so we turned around and then I saw a big bridge to get on the freeway.. yep that was the way she took us so up we biked as fast as our little legs on gear 1 and 1 would let us. Okay so we are up over the bridge and onto the main road.. Great now I cant remember anymore than just that yes this is right. I pray again. Rather than having a clear memory like I have had before when I am lost I saw a police officer. We pull over and ask him where to go. Turns out he was wrong but heres whats cool. This man has no religion he looks at me and says what are you? A misisonary? I tell him yes I am a representative of Jesus Christ! He looks at me and says... Like Zhang Shen Mao? I blink- okay. So heres whats awesome. That is a name. Not just any name. That is the name of a member of our church who I love dearly. I say yes do you know him?! He is his next door neighbor and we are invited to come visit him and his wife next time we go out to WuJie.

The Lord will lead us to those who are prepared. I know this is true. I have seen it so many times. Now I encourage you all again. Pray and then go do and invite others to come unto Christ. I love you all have a wonderful week!!!!
