Let it Rain

This week we got lots and lots of rain. But don't you worry good thing I LOVE the rain! HAHA it was so much fun it started POURING it down like literally the drops were HUGE and you know me I am a dancer it was super fun but no worries I also stayed a very dignified respectable representative of Christ. Also.. the movies that make it seem like Asians are either good at math or music.. Half of it is true. We were knocking doors and I heard this super cool violin music playing inside I thought, yeah I could be this guys friend I like this music... knocked and a little girl opened the door holding her violin and bow looking at me like, Excuse me I need to practice you are destroying my future. Yep... well I apologized and said we would come back later. Really though. like I almost wanted to ask for her signature she was THAT good. 

We are finding ourselves in a spring cleaning of our investigator pool. Drain them out and fill it up again. Its not always the most fun but its what needs to happen. Its sad to see the people we love not keep commitments and put other things before learning about our Heavenly Father. But, I know that there are those who are going to put it first. 

Yesterday I translated a Temple Recommend interview for Margie! Thats right everyone! She is AMAZING and so so so excited to have a recommend. Even though her work she has now wont permit her to make the trip to Taipei to go to the temple she is so excited to be holding her recommend to enter the House of the Lord. I love her so much! aLSO she was just given a calling as a ward missionary. She is to invite all she can from her country to accept the gospel and learn from the missionaries. I am so so so happy for her she is the best ever. Also her family is going through a bit of a hard time right now we hope this experience will take them to a place willing to hear the gospel. 

I went on exchanges this week with a Sister Edwards here in Luo Dong. we had two people take us to eat and whoa like I have never been more full in my life! And actually it wasnt that bad of food! Miracle! ;) When we were on exchanges we were knocking doors and found a woman. Her xing is Lai. xing means last name sorry. So Sister Lai. She is abused by her boyfriend and has permanent damage from it. I ask you all to please keep her in mind this week and pray for her protection. I was very impressed with the thoughts throughout this week that every child is a child of God. When we forget this we begin to judge others. It cannot be so. They are my family and I am here to help them return back to the fold. Yep. 

So I am doing very good I love it its getting warm here again so its time for wet from my sweat period of time again. Lets embrace it! Have a good last week of school Utah! love you all!
