This has been one of the most amazing weeks of my mission. Ok I will just get it out of the way. Brother Ho was baptized. He said he wanted to cry the whole day. He bares his testimony to everyone. He thanked me over and over again for teaching him the Gospel. I thought my heart would burst wide open this day. As I watched his baptism I realized I actually waited one whole year for this. I thought that I would never have a baptism here in China. I reached a point where I was ok with that. Its almost like this snuck up on me and surprised me and I wasnt expecting it but its much like a bright sunny day when you are in the middle of rain season. You are ok with rain season and even like rain, but oh, that sunshine is so bright and beautiful you almost forgot how good it feels. So if I only taught the beloved Brother Ho and saw him baptized my entire mission was a huge success. I mean that. If I only came for one precious little man, then God is just beyond good to me.
Also we had a hot pot activity this week. It was super fun. Dad would love it. You boil dumplings and thin meat. Its really delicious. Also we moved this week. We actually packed up our entire apartment and unpacked it in one day. I have never been so exhausted but I really love my companion and the girls I live with here. Life is good. I am as happy as I have ever been. I love you family. Just keep putting one step in front of the other. Even baby steps get you closer to your goals. Talk to you next week.
