Peng Jiemei is getting baptized!

Hi everyone!!!! Hope everyone is doing well and loving life ! 

Last Pday we had so much fun! A ton of us went to the beach and played frisbee! It was fun to play in the sand and the Elders were very competitive! (Of course) Then we all got lunch and went back to the church...And played more frisbee! (Never played so much frisbee in my life!) We had Zone Conference the next day and President Jergensen and his wife were laughing at us because they could tell who went...Becuase we all got terrible sunburns! We were all very very red...Not one person thought to bring sunscreen. But the burn was worth the fun! 

Miracle of the week! There is a lady in our ward and her husband is a member, but she isn't. She comes to church but just hasn't consistently met with the missionaries. (We have tried many times) But this Sunday, I invited her to sit by me ! We laughed and talked before class and it was awesome!! So after class, I was thinking, "This is my chance!" I asked her if we could visit this week...And she said no. I was devasted!! BUT! No more than an hour later, she calls us and asks if we could have lunch with her that week! We were so surprised and so happy! It really knows that God knows exactly what people need, even if we don't understand. Such a miracle. We met with her and read the scriptures together. (Bible and Book of Mormon!) It was awesome and we are excited to continue meeting with her. 

Another fun experience happened when we met a awesome guy from England. We were joking in the pouring rain, and he walked past on the crosswalk. We said hi and got to talking. He asked if we were from Utah becuase we "have a look in our eyes." It was cool to see someone recognize us as members of the church. It really shows that we have the Light of Christ with us. We just need to let it shine! 

English class was awesome this week. The topic was "home" and they loved it! For our spiritual share, we gave them a church tour and ended in the chapel. It was so spiritual. Then Elder Smith sang 'Come Thou Fount' while I played piano. Everyone loved it and were getting very emotional. We were able to talk to a lot of people after and two of them came to church today ! We were so excited! 

We also had a basketball activity at the church! We have been advertising for over a month and it was all worth it. So many people came and it was really fun. I have never talked to so many highschool / college boys in my whole life! But a lot of people were interested in chapel tours and we have high hopes for a lot of them becoming investigators. It's cool to see how we can find new people in lots of different ways! 

Last thing! Our investigator Peng Jiemei passed her baptismal interview and will be getting baptized this Friday. BUT! It gets better! She wants to get baptized at the beach and we got permission to do it! We are going to have a beach baptism! We are so excited for her to start her personal journey. The members alreasy love her so much and she is a part of the church family. She is awesome and we love her so much! 

Well, that's about it for this week! It was awesome and we hope next week with top it! 

Love you all so much!
Have a great week!
