10 minute prayers🐢🙊⭐️

Helllloooo team!

GUESS WHAT?!?!?! SANDY GOT BAPTIZED!!! Sandy was our friend in Nantun (my first area that I love with my whole heart) the first time we met with her we taught her the Restoration and she told us that she thought it was just a story and then she said maybe next time you can share your own personal experiences instead. Sooo that's what we did and 10 months later she was baptized!! 

Walking into the Nantun chapel seriously felt like walking home and I do not say that lightly haha but when I walked in and saw all the Nantun members and friends they were so excited and I was so excited and it just felt AWESOME!! Isn't it so cool that through Christ's love we can make relationships with people you never would've thought and we all just feel like a big family? I think that's pretty cool❤️ Especially since when I was in Nantun I could barely even speak but they still loved me haha I think that's what was surprised the Nantun members the most was that I could actually talk to them now and IT WAS SO FUN TO TALK TO THEM!!

BUT THE COOLEST THING was to see how much Sandy had changed! She seemed SO happy!! She bore her testimony of how she knew this was God's church and how she felt peace and she also just radiated light it was so so powerful!! She told our other friend 邵姐妹 that she hoped she would be next and then told her family that she hoped they really could feel the peace and love here! I could go on and on but basically that night at Sandy's baptism made my whole mission it really taught me a lot and showed me how much Jesus Christ can help us grow and really find JOY!!🌻❤️

Other than thattttt this week in 太平
- our mission started a rejection challenge and sooo we've been getting rejected a lot and we are getting kinda pro but also not too pro because we got someone to commit to church, a chapel tour, and a lot of lines😤
- we went on an exchange and Sister Sanders and we found the whole time while buying 紅豆餅 which is a Taiwan snack? But anyway we ended up giving it away on accident.... 😕
- we went to Yongkang for MLC and Sister Meacham gave me a well needed pep talk! 
-oh also we went to one of the elders baptism and the closing prayer was 10 minutes long!! Haha afterwards I had tears in my eyes from trying not to laugh 
- we taught our friend tithing and it was a spiritual but hard lesson so if everybody could pray for her it would be SUPER POWERFUL! 🙏

Anyway sorry this email is super long!! But I love you ALL!!! Have the best week EVER!!! Don't forget GOD LOVES YOU!!

  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...
