Super Busy!

Oh man, you have no idea how busy we have been lately! No joke. We have been super super, super, super, busy. I love it though. We have 9 people right now all with very solid baptismal dates. It’s amazing! We taught a TON of lessons last week. I think our trainee came at exactly the right time. We are like overwhelming this new missionary with the amount of lessons we are teaching and with all the work we are doing. The baptism on Saturday was absolutely amazing. And yes, that baptism was for sister Guo's sister who is 64 years old. She is so awesome. We taught her all of the lessons in 2 hours and she passed a baptismal interview directly after that 2 hour lesson. She was so prepared. Sister Guo (the one I’m going to the temple with at the end of March) was so amazing at teaching her little sister the gospel and being the absolute best fellowshipper ever. She played the biggest role in her sister's conversion. I’m just so impressed with Sister Guo and how far she has come since she was baptized last year. Her testimony is so strong. She gave a talk at the baptism on Saturday and then another talk on Sunday during sacrament meeting. She is such an amazing/inspiring speaker. I wish you could understand Chinese and were there to hear her speak. I just love seeing my converts progress more and more. Like yesterday, Hunter (baptized him last summer) helped us teach a lesson and man was he amazing! His testimony is huge and now he is getting ready to serve a mission. I love seeing the people I helped baptize grow in the gospel. These people are so solid in the gospel and that makes me so happy. Right now we are working with a ton of people who should all be getting baptized this Saturday and then next Saturday. We have 9 people who have set baptismal dates for 3/3 and 3/10. It’s looking like we'll have at least 3-4 baptisms this week and then 4 more the following week. Huge miracles are happening here in the Yale branch. I hope and pray that these people will get baptized before I go back home. Oh man, that would be so great. I really think and have faith that these people will join the church before I go. If everything goes as planned then we will have baptisms for 3 consecutive weeks in a row. I’m excited, to say the least :) I can’t wait to get home and tell you about some of these lessons we are teaching. It’s just way too much to email. Like yesterdays lesson... oh man that was so intense. We taught our eternal investigator, sister Zhou, with her white husband who doesn’t speak Chinese (first time teaching him the gospel) and the spirit was just so powerful and the two of them both accepted a baptismal date for 3/10. There is way more to that story but I just don’t have the time to explain it all. It was a miracle to say the least. My favorite old Taiwanese couple from English class will be getting baptized this Saturday. I can’t wait. Then there is Hui Jin and her son who we have been teaching since last November that should be getting baptized this week, too (fingers crossed for that one). Well enough of me telling you about people who you don’t really know at all. You’ll know a whole lot more about them when I get home and tell you everything. Just know that I love these people. I really am sad to leave all of them...
