We did exchanges this week. A missionary named Elder Scott came to our area. We taught a couple lessons together. They were partly English and partly Chinese.
It is weird being in an English zone. This is a big island, and Elder Xiao and I are the only Chinese missionaries here. It makes me feel like I have a big responsibility.
So during exchanges, one of the people we taught, Sally, said she is willing to be baptized in two weeks. It was one of the easiest baptismal dates I have ever extended. She said “ok, what time?”. Her only concern is that, even though she has been investigating and coming to church for over 6 months, she still think she doesn't know enough. But she does. She has said she would get baptized before, and then cancelled, but we both think now is the time for her. I may get to experience 2 baptisms in one transfer. That would be super cool.
Also, when we were on exchanges, Elder Scott brought me a new mattress. The old one was so bad and gross that I have been sleeping on a box spring for the past several weeks. So I am super happy and have slept well the past couple of days.
Oh yea, and it is basically my 1 year mark. Don’t know if I will burn a shirt or anything (missionary tradition), but we will see.
Today we have to end our p-day early to drive to a far away place for zone conference tomorrow. So the president will come and talk to all of the missionaries in Tasmania. These meetings are always kind of a pain because it usually means sleeping on the ground, and spending hours inside our small car with 5 people, but I am excited to see the president and his wife.
