I think I am a Buddhist

This week has been pretty good. We taught a total of 8 lessons this week, and had about 5 people come to church so that was pretty freaking dope. Now the thing is, baptisms.... I get so scared every time I think about extending baptismal invitations. I want them to understand the importance of this and want them to receive it, but I am so scared they wont accept, they wont have a real testimony, and so many other things. But I have been for reals contemplating on each of our investigators and baptism. So intense.  Hopefully, at least one of them accepts. 

In other news, I am getting so fat right now. We have had members feed us almost everyday this week, and some days we had multiple meals with members. Holy cow! So much fooooddd. It is really nice though. We get to go and fellowship with members and get to know their families and it's great. A lot of missionaries have said before that this area needed a lot of work and love, and that it was kind of dead, but I have never seen that yet. There are so many people, the ward is phenomenal and the work is great. Yeah its slow at times but there is always someone that needs to hear this Gospel. The families here, I feel really like us. And I really hope they know we want to help each of them individually and we spend most of our time thinking  about them. Also we are helping train a guy our age go on a mission. His nickname is Dai Dai, and he is a stud. He gets so upset when we get only a few numbres and don't give anyone a Book of Mormon. He has a great desire to do the work. He just needs to read the scriptures with a bit more intent lol. Love that kid though. 

Hopefully this next week I can tell you guys about some dope baptismal invitation stories! I love you all and miss ya, joigin. (means see ya later, literally translates into 'fate see' love this language) OOOOOOHHH yeah my trainer finally admitted to me that my language is actually better then a lot of other missionaries language that have been out for twice as long as me. So yeah, I am basically fluent lololol jkjk oh yeah and we went to a place called 10,000 Buddhas last week and me and this guys legs are exactly the same length, mine are just thicker. And we had a Ward finding activity and someone tried to sneak a pic on me, then this is me and Dai Dai doing some good old street contacting 

kk bye

Transfer Calls

This Last week was Transfers, and nothing changed lol. I am still with my trainer, at first I was a little bit salty at God, like ok do you not think I can do this? But then I got humbled and found out there is still some stuff I gotta learn. Besides that nothing too exciting has been happening. Going to 10,000 Buddhas today, pretty excited. Also I have been making gifs almost my entire time so far, and I have only shared a few with all of y'all so in a couple of weeks I am gonna make a drive on Google and add so all of y'all to enjoy the craziness. Here is a sneak peak. Also, my hair is SO out of regs.

3 Day Exchange

Yup, that's right, I was up in a different area for 3 days this last week. Kind of crazy. I did pull the classic exchange fluke and left my towel back home, so I had to air dry after each shower. But since it is basically 100% humidity here,I basically was just wet all day and I still have 2 other exchanges this week. So that is pretty exciting. 

WE HAD A GIRL WE ARE TEACHING COME TO CHURCH!!! WWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO

Honestly the coolest thing ever. So at like 9:50 we sit down but close to the door so I can see when people walk in, and all I do is just sit there and keep looking out the door windows to see if she is coming. I freaking was soo excited, and was praying like mad. Church starts and I start to get a little anxious like oh freak she isn't coming. She probably just got scared and decided  not to come. I look at the clock and its like 10:15 (there were a lot of announcements) and we start singing the sacrament hymn. I feel real sad, she isn't coming, its cool. Started figuring out what to teach her if we got to meet with her later in the week. Then Elder Freeman gets up and says "follow me" and I am all like YES SHE IS HERE! She was just lost, so we got her to the sacrament hall and she was able to be there for sacrament and a few testimonies. SO GOOD. And she is gonna want to come again! YYEEEESSSSS so pumped for her. 

Besides that we don"t have not a whole lot going on. Trying to build up our potentials to flow into our teaching pool. Hope everyone is killing it. '
