Hello My beautiful Family!


Wow today is the super bowl! I totally forgot about that, ya I heard the Saints are playing the Colts yesterday.  I hope the Saints win too, because Manning has already won.  That would be cool for Drew Brees to get a ring, since hurricane Katrina I was hoping they would have a chance some day so wow tell me in a bit the details!
 
So right now I am using the new.myldsmail.net website.  It's new, my password is the same.  I love it, it is exactly like G-mail.  Ya I sent you my card.  Hope you can get the same Chinese characters on there!  Also hope you can set up a g-mail account.  Ya I sent my ring home last week! I think there is a misunderstanding with the sizes.  I measured my finger at a store and the guy said the ring was a international size of 18.5 I need an international size of 14! I wrote that on the letter after I went back to the post office to send it! Ya it's expensive to resize I guess you could give my ring to dad and order me a size 14!  Alright hope I cleared that up for you. 
 
Well this week was awesome.  I am loving my companion I'm glad we stayed together.  So things are going great, especially last Sat. our investigator is in the hospital so we went to visit him and met his little sister there.  As we were sharing about God I felt that I should try and include the sister.  She said ya by the way my name is chen yi lin, I beleive in God too, I am christian and right now am meeting the missionaries!  I was shocked and asked who? She said she goes to college in Gui Ren where I used to live! She met with the missionaries down there which I know very well!  Elder Johnson from the mtc and my buddy the coolest senior companion in the mission Elder Mortenson I talked to them on the yi lins cell phone, they were shocked that I was with their investigator.  They also told me she hasn't been answering her phone because she has been really busy and it is winter vacation here.  So I asked them what she has heard and they said only the 1st and 2nd lesson.  Elder Mortenson said he trusts my judgement on what we will teach her.  Then we split up, my comp taught our gator and I taught yi lin about prophets and why we beleive in modern revelation.  Her biggest concern right now is every church she has met says their the true church and that the heavens are closed, beleive in God and you will be saved garbage!!! I testified as she comes to church, reads the bom and prays she will get her own answer in the Lords time she said ok and said she will come to church.
 
So yesterday was awesome, she came and in fast testimony meeting I bore a 10 min testimony about this awesome new golden investigator we found.  By the way that day we weren't planning to go to the hospital her brother called us up and said come visit him.  So I told her and her brother that this is definitely destiny!  She said ya I think so too!  So after church a member invited us to her house to eat and teach yi lin.  We were about to share the plan of salvation but she asked a question.  Why are there so many churches? So we reset and started with the 1st afterwards she is willing to pray for an answer and excited to only investigate our church right now, no other one!!!  Wow! I hope we can help teach her good so when she goes back to guiren she can get baptized! What an awesome miracle huh! Not to mention we had 4 gators come to church 3 guys that I hope are close to baptism as well! So everything is good in tai bao!!!
