Hey Friends and Family!

This week was awesome! David got baptized! He was baptized on Sunday. Also, the Sister missionaries in our ward had a baptism yesterday as well! Her name in Chin. They are both Chinese and Awesome. Well, this week we had some scary moments with David this week. He had a bunch of concerns about different things and a couple of mis-communications. But we were able to meet with Brother Li (a recent Chinese convert). And he helped us solve all the problems and he was able to be baptized on Sunday in the morning before church. Elder Hardy performed the baptism. Then during the Sacrament I performed the confirmation. It was way cool! He was soo soo happy! I will send pictures when I can. I can`t send pictures at the e-mail place I am using now, but I will figure something out. Well, we are just so happy for David. He overcame a lot to get the point where he is now. And he had a huge Calculus test today that he thought he was going to fail. He thought that he needed to study instead of going to church. But, we promised him that if he came to church and prayed for help that he would pass his test. He said okay and went forward with faith. We haven`t talked to him about the test yet, but I know that the Lord will help him if he does his part. David has tons of faith and now there are 4 Chinese college students that have joined the church in our branch in the last 3 months! Crazy, huh! Well, transfers are on Thursday. I don`t think I will transfer or anything. I feel like there is a lot more work for me to do here in Nagasaki. I am ready to keep giving it my all! The Lord will make my efforts good enough. I know that He will do it for you as well. Just pray for help and he will help you and make you good enough. Here is a cool quote I really like ` Don`t ask the Lord for tasks equal to your abilities, ask the Lord for abilities equal to your tasks` The lord always stretches us to make us better. Allow yourself to be stretched. I love you all so much and appreciate your support, thoughts, and prayers! Love ya
