2014-02-17 ... Power Power Week

AND A BAPTISM! SYLVIA GOT BAPTIZED!! She is so cute!  The water was super cold, we filled it up with warm water but by the time the service started it was way cold.  So Elder Erikson got it, but we were in the restroom praying and we prayed it wouldn't be too cold.  She said she didn't feel it at all.  She felt super warm and so much peace.  On Sunday she told us she couldn't sleep the night before becasue she was so excited to recieve the gift of the Holy Ghost to always be with her!  She also said she wanted to come with us to the temple (today) and wants to serve a mission!!  SO she is like totalyl solid and ready for this gospel!!  We met with her yesterday and she came out with us to hand out copies of theBook of Mormon!!

Why hand out Books of Mormon???

Because it's POWER WEEK!  Here usually after CNY the mission holds a Power Week, where each day we have mini goals to achieve.  Monday was tract for 2 hours straight and sit down with 2 families.  Tuesday was hand out 13 copies of the Book of Mormon. And we acheived both goals in spirit haha.  We tracted into 2 families that wouldn't let us in, 1 had a super bad fever (he had a mask on and everything .. looked super sick too but we gave him a copy of the BOok of Mormon and he said he was chrisitan and wanted more so WOOHOO) and the othr showed us that his house was super messy but invited us to come back later this week!  And yesterday we gave out 11 copies of the Book of Mormon and 2 people already had one but we got all their numbers ... see?  I think it counts ;)

Wow this keyboard is really bad sorry!!

I went to a baibai funeral this week.  Haha it was very interesting.  We were invited by an invesitagor to a friend's grandma's funeral.  We sand I am a CHild of God, then bowed to her gigantic picture, and bowed tothe women then to the men.  We left beforeall the chanting and clanging and hat wearing happened.  But it was cool.  Oh and we call through our referrals everyday, and a couple of days ago we saw a funeral just on the road.  Like a busy road too.  It was like a parade, thn it all stopped.  At the front there was a woman marching band, giant people, people with painted faces, and dancers, and the herse.  They started 2 fires in the street, 1 in front of and behind the car.  Not in a bin just on the road.  Then the dancers danced around it and stabbed it and stuff.  It was interesting for sure!!


We also had interviews with our Mission President this week!  HE IS AMAZING! I AM SO GLAD I'M HERE!!!  I heard someon in the MTC say, "When they pray about where you go they prayu abotu the people and place for sure, but they mostly pray about which Mission President can best suit you." AND IT IS TRUE!!

Ugh I'm out of time again!!

BUT I LOVE YOU ALL! THIS GOSPEL AND CHURCH ARE TRUE!!!!  OUR HEAVENLY FATHER LOVES US!!!

For always,
