WEEKLY UPDATE: Two typhoons = a really wet week.

Me and Sister Reinhard

 When people see two young women walking outside in the middle of a huge rain storm, huge gusts of wind blowing up their umbrellas and making their tracts all wet, their hearts become soft and they let us into their houses :) Being a missionary is so much fun!

 This week we found a bunch of new investigators, most of them in the strangest places. On one occurrence, we knocked on this one door, a lady opened it and let us in. We walked through her porch door and into her front door and all we see are her walls lined with bras and underwear. She runs a lingerie shop from out of her house. Her name is Lin Jie Mei. After about half an hour we shared the first lesson, invited her to baptism and set up to visit her again. The next time we go to visit her she offered to measure us up and make us something special. She's such a cool lady.

We had exchanges this week. I was able to head to Beitou with Sister Khou. We had a lesson with a Zhu Jie Mei. 40 (but looks like shes 23) single, works as a receptionist at a dentist office. The coolest thing about her is that not only is she so prepared to get baptized but she has TWO PARROTS, Nike and Gooby. ANNDDD they can speak English AND Chinese!

We took advantage of the moment when the sky cleared up and it stopped raining. Sister Reinhard
grabbed a guitar and we headed to the metro station to sing for people. While there we met a pair of missionaries from another church. One of them happened to be holding an ukulele. I taught the one who owns the ukulele how to play a song, we then sang for them. They were so surprised that we could speak chinese, they offered to pray for us. After their prayer they gave us their prayer book so that when we go home we could practice. Well, we then offered to pray for them. They were shocked that we didn't need a prayer book to say our prayers and they were pretty stunned at our Chinese. We invited them to English class so that they could practice their English. We gave them each a hug and left with a huge smile on our faces. They don't know it yet but these two ladies will get baptized.

 We ended the week by visiting the hospital! Sister Reinhard's foot has been bothering her for about three weeks now so we went and got her foot x-rayed. The doctor concluded, there is a linear fracture at the base of her 5th metatarsal on her left foot. She will need to wear a brace for about a month before it is all healed up and what not. She is super stoked about it :D

 That's about all for today! Mahalo for all the love and Aloha I feel everytime I read your letters! I hope everyone is doing well and those in school, I hope no one is skipping classes. Love you!!
