We don't say pigu ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜

Things that happened this week

- It rained a lot! But Sister Wang ็Ž‹ๅงๅฆน is teaching me a Chinese rain song so catch me singing in the rain preaching the gospel๐Ÿคธ‍♀️๐Ÿ’—

- we biked a lot but turns out biking 30 minutes going up and down hills is a lot easier when you have air in your tires๐Ÿšด‍♀️๐Ÿ˜ But no worries sometimes the Lord knows you need stronger spiritual strength and stronger thigh strength ๐Ÿ’ช 

- we tried to have a lesson with our friend but instead he took us to dinner with our senior couples... BUT then we sneakily asked if we could share a scripture and he said yes! And we taught him a little of the plan of salvation and asked if we could teach him again and he said yes! But hopefully next time there won't be chicken feet๐Ÿ˜…

-tried chicken feet for the first time... why is that even a food??? Oh and chicken heart, pig liver and pig heart... wow I forgot how much weird food I've eaten this week until I wrote that out but yeah it was interesting ๐Ÿ˜Š

- we went knocking and on the very last door the guy totally had interest and asked us the best questions and said we could meet with us again! What?! We love it when that happens because it rarely does! ❤️


NANCY GOT BAPTIZED!!! I wasn't able to go๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ but I'm so so happy for her. It's been so cool to see her testimony of the Lord grow❤️


Anyway coming to Anding has been so hard but every day the lord helps me love it a little more whether it be singing a song while biking up a hill with a flat tire in the rain or passing people playing Majong on their front porch or having a member come in and tell you she won't leave till you sing with her or playing basketball with a 14 year old girl and beating all the boys:) or finishing every night eating a guava because of all the people that randomly give you guava❤️ The lord really helps us through our hard times but we really do have to look to him and then once we look back we can see all the good he has already given us❤️


SO my challenge to you is to look for the good and laughter in every day this week because I know the Lord truly wants us to have JOY! ❤️❤️


I LOVE YOU ALL BUT THE LORD LOVES YOU EVEN MORE!!

  Happy Tuesday morning!! ☀️☀️ it’s a lovely day so far:) Ok! So here’s an experience I have been feeling like I want to share with you all: Maybe a week ago? Ish? I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive. So if there’s any noise going on it can completely overwhelm me with anxious thoughts.  I start...
