Okay all you, Crazy good news that you probably won't appreciate as much as I would like you to. So as I am sure you know I have only 4 weeks left :( I was sure I would finish my mission in peace with my calling as a Sister Training leader here in nankan. Well then tables flipped Saturday. Here in our mission we get training calls Saturday which means the assistant to the president will call the few lucky missionaries that are now called to train a new missionary. Well my companion and I were ridding home in peace when our phone rang. We ignored it and quickly biked home. Then they called again we looked and saw it was the assistants I was really happy for my companion knowing it would be for her cause to train a missionary takes 12 weeks! She goes home next year in april so I was so happy for her that she would be training! And then the assistants chuckled and said, Sister Thornley, we also need you to come to the trainers meeting Saturday, you will be training too!

So my mission has been officially extended! I will now be coming home in Feburary of next year. The Lord needs me to stay here a bit longer to train this new missionary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Too cool huh?! Okay not true. But I really will be training a new missionary as well as being a Sister Training Leader. Please pray for my new baby she will have to work really hard to get all the training done in the 3 weeks we will have together that are supposed to have 12 weeks to do. She must be incredible!!!!!

Hehe hope that made you all chuckle a little! I really will need extra prayers I am not sure how this is supposed to work out. So now let me tell you about the rest of the week!

I want to share with you a miracle we saw yesterday. We had met a girl last last week and she was really awesome but super busy and wouldn't be able to meet with us until yesterdays Sundayshe told us she would come to church. our hopes were really high but we were secretly really sad inside cause we didn't think she would really come. But she DID!!! As we met with her yesterday we taught of the resoration of the gospel and she accepted a baptismal invite! She set the date for Dec 27! GO Meghans Birthday! We are hoping to have at least 2 baptisms that day! Please pray that they will go through!

The next really incredible miracle to which I need to thank you all for your prayers for is that this saturday our two beautiful Sisters from China have passed their baptismal interviews and are recieving baptism this wednesday! Thank you so much for your help in their conversion process they have felt the added prayers in their behalf. They are so incredible! i'll send you a pic of Sister Lily's son you will fall in love he is so adorable!

Last fun story for this week This morning as Sister Miller and I were studying this morning we suddenly heard a really strange noise it sounded like a humming bird as we looked up their was a HUGE bug flying above us. It scared us to death it was huge! We werent sure what it was either never seen anything like that. Then it did the worse flew toward us. Both Sister Miller and I scram and dove under our desks. Then the humming stopped. It had flown onto a ledge thing in our apartment that holds the lights. As we tried to get it out to kill it we saw what it was a huge hornet litterally about 4 inches long with a yellow orange head and you could see its stinger poking out about 3 cm. We got too scared and called our door man to help us. He came in with a misquito killing wracket thing anyway he did kill it for us but it took steping on it about 3 times to really kill it. Terrifying. Then the next fun part we went out to a flat tired bike of mine. Poor little guy had ran a real good course. and I needed to go buy a new tire for the last month of my mission. huu :) smile and take it all in right?!

Well I love you all have a great week!
