Linda Got Baptized

大家早安! 

Hope everyone had a good week! Ours started off with an awesome Pday in JIUFEN! It was way way cool! You basically ride on a bus for eternity until you get to the top of a mountain and then there is the old street that is PACKED with cool stuff you can look at and buy! There is famous old cream, this old guy that paints with his hands, and much more! We spent a long time there and didn't even get to it all! I can understand why my brother Andrew has been trying to get me to go there my entire mission!! 

But the highlight of this week for sure was LINDA GETTING BAPTIZED! She is so cute and so so funny. Watching her walk into the font was so happy 😄 She looked so beautiful and gave a fire testimony. It's been incredible to see her grow in such a short amount of time. She is very very excited to be able to go into the Temple and I know she will continue to do amazing things in the church! 

Also this week, we went on two different exchanges! The first was with Sister Garner! She is super cute and we had a really good exchange together. We talked to tons of people and saw miracles because of it! We ran into this store called "5 Loaves, and 2 Fishes" and are really excited to go back and try it sometime! 

My second exchange was with Sister Hayden! She is such an amazing misisonary! We met them, had a quick planning session, and then my companion called me and said someone needed to get into the church but she didn't have the keys. So we quickly rush out to go open the church, and Sister Hayden smiles big at this mom (who had her 4 year old son with her) and says hello. She started speaking to us in English and we got super surprised! After talking for about 30 seconds, the son looks right at us and asks, "when are you coming over to out house?" It was a little awkward so we kinda all just laughed and kept talking and then he asks again! I responded and said, "We would love to come visit you." Then ended up continuing talking with the mom until she looked down at her son and said, "Would you like to invite the sisters over to our home?" I was so happy and surprised!! Such a prepared person and we are so excited to meet with them!
