I turned into a nerd!

HELLO! How is everyone doing?  Things have been great over here. The weather is beautiful and the people are just peachy. Sister Tsang and I are having a lot of fun. Right now she is going crazy because she just found out about "Yo Mama" jokes and that's all that is coming out of her mouth. I keep telling her that they are so twenty years ago but she LOVES them and says them to EVERYONE haha. She calls me Mama all the time and accidentally called me Mama in one of our tours! I just laughed really hard. She didn't even notice she did it because she does it so much. I love her!
 

On Saturday, our investigator from Ohio was baptized.  He is such a wonderful person and you can feel he has this glow even over the phone. We have three more on date this transfer! It is amazing to be able to see how much they have changed and progressed. The atonement truly puts light inside of those who finally embrace it.  My district is the highest baptizing district in the mission this transfer. President can't even believe it. We went way over our baptisimal goal already.  It's not us missionaries though; it is the Spirit converting these people.  We are only delivering the message.

Ok mom, I am so nerdy now! I used to daydream about falling in love and now I daydream about investigators. I used to sing Taylor Swift but now all I have in my head is church songs and I sing them all the time. I experimented and tried to sing a Taylor Swift song in the shower last night but it felt weird and boring so I went back to singing "Did you think to pray?" I am such a nerd now!!

Every day during our Mandarin tours I look out at those big groups of people and I try to see them how Heavenly Father sees them.  Most of them have never heard of Jesus Christ (Yeah Su Jee Do).  They do not know that someone died for their sins so they could have eternal life.  They don't know who to lean on when they hurt the most.  I have realized how blessed we are to have this knowledge.  The Savior knows exactly how we feel.  Alma 7:11-13!

I just love my mission. I am so exhausted so I find it weird that I am so happy all the time. It is weird that the gospel can do this to you! I really needed to be out here and specifically here at Temple Square. Missions are hard sometimes but it is so wonderful to be a part of this work. I know that God really must love us a lot to let us do this. One of my favorite scriptures is in D&C Chapter 4 and it says "If you have desires to serve God, you are called to the work". I know that everyone who has the desire to serve Heavenly Father was foreordained in the pre-earth life to serve missions now. I just love missionary work!

I hope that everyone has a good week and remember that Jesus loves you! Even Ryan!

Thanks to Harley, Daycee, and Christie for the beautiful letters!  I just loved the pictures of Baby Cash! He is so cute. I showed everyone.

Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for the beautiful letter! I miss you SO MUCH! 

I am SO excited that Kendall is in Minnesota. Now she is going to get a weird accent. She better have an accent by the time Christmas comes so I can hear it when we Skype!
