Issaquah 1st / Tiger Mtn Transfer 2 week 2

ni how!

that is hello in chinease but i probably totally messed up the spelling! my chinease is coming along pretty good now! never thought i would learn chinease on an english mission but we are teaching a buch of people from china so its awesome!

this last week has been awesome! i love serving with elder gardner. he is a real good missionary. but this last week we have seen so many miracles, but we now have five people on date for baptism!!!! this week we put jeff and christine ( i think i told you about them last week), jordan, andrew, and ray on date! jordan is a kid we tracted into a few weeks ago but finally tought him this week and he loved it. we are going to take him on a church tour today which will be great! andrew is a husband in a partmember family we found, we tracted into them and finally got them on a church tour! it was amazing the spirit was so strong and his wife was really pushing batism too! which made our jobs easier:) but im so excited for them they are awesome! and ray is an eternal investigator, his three year mark is in november but he finaly decided to get baptized on august 27th!! it truely was a miricle that he finally decided to pick a date! the ward is so excited for it. its going to be amazing.

so something pretty neat happened last night too. elder gardner and i were walking into an appartment complex to go visit some potential investigators and when some one hollered out there window and asked if we were the missionaires! so we said yes and then he told us to come around to his door. it turned out to be a couple we had tought a few months back. he told us that he was talking his daughter to the hospital becaue she hurt her leg really bad. and he asked us if we could pray with her before they went. so we asked if we could give her a blessing and they said yes. so we gave this little girl a blessing in the back o f their car in the middle of the perking lot. it was a really cool experince. it made me realize the importance of always being worth because you never know when you need to excercise the priesthood!

i hope you all have a great week
love you
