Hi again!

Always so good to hear from you and how it's all going! 

This week went so fast, it was a day shorter than usual haha but tomorrow starts the new transfer! I am going to be moved once again, to a Laie family ward. It will be good but I'm not sure if there is even a nonmember living in the boundary haha. nice. Good thing for the visitors' Center! And online missionary work. I am really happy though because Sister Yun is staying in our YSA area and both of our investigators seem to be progressing and I'm so grateful for that! They are both really sweet beautiful Chinese ladies. It's not super-fast progress, but seeing them recognize God and also praying is such a blessing! I love to teach to that level, simple and basic :)

My new companion will be Sister Taki. I love this sister so much! She is from Japan and is so sweet and I know I can learn so much from her. 

This week has been really special and I feel a great amount of spirit with me. I have really found that as I recognize the spiritual experiences, I have more of them. I watched a girl open her mission call and it was so touching for me. That few minutes is such a special moment and I remember opening my call and feeling so peaceful and calm about it. Excited, but not nervous or doubting that it was right. I never knew what it would be like, and it's not like I thought lol but it has been such a special experience and I can't imagine this not being my life. Good thing I still got some time ;) 

There was changes made to our online missionary work and it recovered these lost contacts that just disappeared in the system! Haha it was such a miracle for us. Usually we have between like 2-6 baptisms a week as a VC, but this week there was 12!!! :) So awesome! Happy for us to be able to know of those people. I know it's not necessary for us, but it is really encouraging to know that our efforts are helping in one way or another :) I met many interesting people and oh yeah! Prom here is so huge lol like the whole high school comes to the temple grounds for pictures... kinda weird but so many people. And such a good missionary opportunity...even though many are members...:) 

Oh yeah haha another awesome thing. Elder David F. Evans of the 70 (used to be over missionary things for the church, now lives in Hong Kong for his assignment) came and spoke to us and gave a special training. It was sooo special. He spoke about callings and how we are called by prophecy and revelation. I think this is such an important thing to be called to repentance about hah. A lot of us don't always love our call or question why we were sent here.. but he taught so many good things. He taught us how God called us here and how we agreed to serve where ever he called us. He also reminded us that we have sooo much opportunity to teach. Much more than many others even though it's short moments, we get to teach maybe more people with more diversity than anywhere else. That is something we shouldn't take lightly or for advantage. It's true, we do get to teach and help people from China or India or those countries where missionaries don't get to go too much, and so it is needed for us to be here. He reminded of Alma 29 and how he needed to repent because he wasn't grateful or okay with what God had allotted him. I think that's also true with every calling we get in the church. We need to repent if we aren't happy with our calling or trusting God. Anyway, yeah, probably doesn't make sense, but I hope that if anyone is struggling with loving their callings, they can remember that we know about prophecy and revelation and that we need to trust God and he can make the most of us!!

LOVE YOU SO MUCH>I have been learning to write and say Korean lol but this is from google translate lol but really I can write this is person :)>>> 사랑해 .
