Anyways this last week has been really really great! Lots of miracles. A couple of days my companion was out for the count due to being sick but she is all better now. I just love her so and she honestly is going to end up being a great friend of mine for a long time...if she doesn't kill me...just kidding...but really...we don't have any conflicts at all in our companionship and she is basically just like me but a seriously hard worker and for that i am grateful. Monday we went shopping at this great place and it was like a huge covered mall with tons of little shops and crazy amounts of people and way too crowded for anyone not living in Asia or not able to work a crowd. Thank you for teaching me how to do that! It was super great and super cheap. Ee will probably go again next transfer or at the end of this one. Then, Tuesday, was a pretty normal day and we met with our investigator chen yi fei. She is amazing and long time investigator but people here are so ridiculously busy that it will be forever before they get baptized sometimes...and it takes longer if they can't come to church or have a wow problem. But I love her to death and she is super duper cute! I will take a picture next time we meet with her and send it to you. Don't judge me for saying this next line, but I honestly never thought I would ever love Asian people as much as I do. I don't even know hardly anyone but I love them so much and they literally are the BEST missionaries in the whole world. I'm pretty sure family history was made just for them and the fact that they are super blunt all the time makes it perfect to do missionary work. haha. It definitely inspires me to be a better missionary when I get home. haha.

Wednesday wasn't super eventful. We had English class and just contacted all day. Saturday Sister Finch got super sick so she we were inside for most of the day which wasn't too bad but i am shocked at how easily it is to go crazy when you are inside for 24 hours. Sister Finch has LOTS of quotes from me. It's pretty great. Friday, we had WPS and then a few lessons and Saturday and Sunday were super slow. But it's all in a missionaries life. It's super fun and I love it. We actually were able to see a really really big miracle this last week. We started meeting with this lady(Chen Jiemei) and she is SUPER GOLDEN! We sat down and she started blasting us with so many questions. It was super hard for me because she was speaking super fast. But she has a huge desire to learn and she knows the bible better than anyone I have ever know. To top it off she has a huge testimony that God really does exist because she not only saw him in a dream but then quote book of Mormon scriptures to her that we knew and eventually were able to show her. She was pretty shocked. And lastly, she basically saw the Salt Lake Temple in a dream and yeah...I have never met anyone like her and I feel super blessed that Heavenly Father is blessing us with her. It was super amazing. But I will say I had the biggest headache in the entire world after meeting with her both Friday and Saturday because she spoke so fast i had to really really focus in order to understand what she was saying. Saturday we shared the Plan of Salvation with her and she just soaked it up and believed it and had so many questions that lead to other lessons. Gah! Super golden and my only prayer is that I'm here next transfer to see her get baptized!

But other than that, not much else is new and exciting. We have exchanges this next week and I will know tonight where I am going. But it's super great and I can't believe I am here.
 
Love, Tiffany
