I am just on the edge WAITING to hear news about McKenna!!! I am praying for you guys and I am so excited for you!!! Speaking of Nathan and McKenna, HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATHAN!!!!!!!!!
And happy Fathers day to All the fathers out there!!!!! I got the best Dad in the whole entire world. I love you so much! I am sending you about five billion hugs right now!
sooooooo GUESS WHAT?!??!
Suen got baptized!
I need to write down her whole story--which is going to have to wait till next time. but oh my goodness that girl was prepared. She is amazing. I love her to death, and he baptism was quite the experience haha. I will give you a sneak preview--the first time she went down into the water she completely freaked out and screamed and inhaled a bunch of water.....hahahaha ohhh goodness. No but really- her baptism was amazing! And her testimony was incredible. She wrote it down because she was nervous (I have a copy I will translate into english and send it hopefully in the next email). She is beautiful!!!! shall send pictures.
ps I am trying my hardest to set her up with the other chinese recent convert. Great possibilities there. I snatched a picture of them together. I asked him if he has had a lesson on temple married yet. He hasnt. hmm. what a coincidence...neither has Suen... hmm. I CANT WAIT FOR THEM TO FALL IN LOVE AND GET MARRIED! Anyways, wooo. Yesterday was incredible.
and AIKO! AIKO IS AMAZING! She is on track for her baptism, she just REALLY needs to talk to her fiancee. So. We committed her to talking to him by this sunday. Please pray that that will happen. That she will have courage! That everything will work out! She is incredible. Someday you will all meet her. Somehow.
So its really funny sometimes- my compaion isnt a native english speaker right? But she speaks english super well. One thing she does that, that is absolutely hilarious, is that she says things that have a really strong connotation, but she doesnt mean for it to be super strong. Let me try to explain....we were sitting there in weekly planning, and I took one of her candies or something. And she just looked at me and was like "I am going to kill you". Just straightfaced. We continue planning, and start talking about someone who isnt progressing as we would like, and she was like "yeah, they are just a loser".....hahaha oh my goodness I dont know what I think it is so funny, but man. After a while here I think just about anything is funny.
ps I dyed my companions hair at her request. I told her I had never done it before. She didnt think I was serious. After I started doing it, she quickly realized that I really had never done it before.....needless to say im not welcome to do it again hahaha
I LOVE YOU! I am sending pictures right now!
llooooove,

"Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some dont come until Heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come"-Elder Holland
"True love blooms when we care more about another person than we care about ourselves. That is Christ`s great atoning example for us, and it ought to be more evident in the kindness we show, the respect we give, and the selflessness and courtesy we employ in our personal relationships"-Elder Holland
"almost all marriages (or companionships haha) could be beautiful, harmonious, happy, and eternal ones, if the two people primarily involved would determine that is should be, that is must be, that it will be"-President Kimball
