Hello my wonderful family and homiez!

This week was so incredible. We saw so so many miracles. THE RONG FAMILY CAME TO CHURCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHH! They are going to make their baptismal date in the end of September! I know it. Pray for them. So they can quit their problems with the Word of Wisdom. We are going over tonight to make a plan with them so they can quit. I love this family so much. They are so good. So ready for the Gospel to bless their lives!

Our other new investigator Wu Zheng Wei also came to Church with us. In the morning before Church we went to his house, woke him up, and rode bikes with him to Church. It was awesome. And he loved Church! Let me tell you how we met him and what happened when we first met him.

Friday night we had planned to go over to Rong Family's house. But the Dad had to work overtime. So we just had time to find. But, two weeks ago we met Wu Zheng Wei's little brother on the street and had a lesson with him. We set up a time but I knew he wasn't going to come, so I asked him for his address. Which was full on inspiration from the Spirit because I never ask people for their addresses right off the bat. So his little brother never came when we set up with him, so we went to his house and we ended up meeting his mom. Who is a total sweetheart and is from Indonesia. I love Indonesian people with my whole heart. They are the nicest, happiest people. His mom is a very shy, quiet woman. But super nice. So, after Rong family said they can't meet with us I had to idea to go visit Sophia(Wu Zheng Wei's mom). We go to his house, knock on his door and he comes out. At this time we had never seen him before. We start chatting with him and we end up having a lesson with him right there. While talking with him, I asked him if his dad lives there as well. He told us his dad passed away two years ago. We taught him how to pray and about Heavenly Father. As I was teaching him how we have a loving Father in Heaven, I felt the Spirit very strong. I felt the love that Heavenly Father has for this kid. As I was telling him about Heavenly Father's love for him he started to cry. The Spirit was so strong. I have never had such a special first meeting. I know God has prepared him and his family to receive the Gospel. They need our help. I am so grateful the Spirit led us to this beautiful family.

I love this work with my whole heart. Transfers are this next week. I really really don't want to move. I love Yuli. But, If I do move, I know it is what needs to happen. This is the Lord's work. He is leading it. 

I love you all!
