Everyone that I love,
This week was so great! SO awesome. Wu Zheng Wei will be baptized in two weeks! He has his baptismal interview this week! I am so grateful I got to be a part in this kids conversion into the Gospel. He has a heart of Gold and is so smart.
We haven't seen the Rong family in two weeks!....... I'm a bit scared because we haven't seen them for so long. BUT, we will see them this week! For sure. No worries. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Right?
This past week I got to go on exchanges with Elder Mattsson who is my homie from the MTC. We came on together and we saw so many miracles! We gave out 3 copies of the Book of Mormon in one night. It was awesome. We met this couple at their house and they gave us a crazy amout of fruit. 3 grapefruits, 3 star fruits, and I think 5 dragon fruit. That was awesome, then we ride past this guys house, I see him on the computer so we go knock on his door and I offer him some fruit. His heart was softened with some dragon fruit. He let us in and we had an awesome lesson with him on prayer and gratitude. He was a cool guy, but he already told us he doesn't want to meet with us anymore. Crap.
My companion and I have been riding farther and farther away from Yuli. So we've been making our own lunches. Been really into tuna sandwiches lately. It is awesome. The other day we rode to a place called Lehe. We get on our bikes to ride back and my front tire was completely flat. Haha. We had to walk back to Yuli. It was only like a 25 minute walk. So no worries. We ate our tuna sandwiches as we walked.
I love Yuli more and more everyday! If I died here I would die a happy man. My companion and I are straight up besties. We've started a band called, "Earth Melon." We're gonna be huge.
I love this Gospel and missionary work. I am humbled everyday to be in such a beautiful area with the most beautiful people. I love you all!

Love, Elder Relyea
