Sorry everyone, but today is zone pday and we have to go in about 3 minutes...so here we go! This week we met the president and he is really good! He gave a great training and we are very excited to work with him! He is powerful and has lots of really cool experiences! He is different from President Henderson, but he is still great and he will do amazing things for our mission!
The biggest two miracles this week were very big...at least the first one was! We had just finished a lesson with one of our solid investigators and we were headed out to do some finding when a girl in the same building as our teaching office stopped us and asked if we knew where a girls bathroom was...then she read our tags and was super excited and wanted to know if we had any church activities to go to! Then we were like YEAH! We have church tomorrow and she wanted to come! Then out of the blue I was kind of just like...hey we have an office right over there where we teach people about what we believe...do you have plans right now? and she was like OH I'd love to and yeah...it was amazing!! Well we started teaching her and honestly it was pretty scattered lesson, but she opened up and started to get emotional...then. as we finished the restoration, she wanted to be baptized as soon as possible...she has been through a lot in her life and she is really excited...so the date is for August 6th! And she got sick the other morning for church and couldn't come, but she loved the Bom and the Plan of Salvation and The resto!! It has been such a crazy miracle!! She likes to meet with us too! Hhaha that is a first! But anyway, she might be going back to china for a couple weeks here soon, but she isn't too sure...we are so excited for her though! Her English name is Serena and she is from China!
Also, Mouzy, the investigator that speaks portuguese texted us the other day and said "I will contact you when I have read the Book of Mormon...and we were like ah man...never going to hear from him again haha...but then he texted us yesterday...and he has read the whole thing...and has some great questions! So we are teaching him as well and it has been really good! Things are going great here in Brisbane...I have some pictures, but no time...thanks to Elder Jensen sending me about 25 emails....maybe next week! Have a good one!
