Heavenly Father's Angels

Well, things in Taiwan are going GREAT! This Saturday Xu JM is getting baptized!! Ahhh! I love her so much! She is so amazing. It's actually a pretty cool miracle that we even met. We met on the very first day of this move-call. That day I was kind of bummed because I thought I was going to move and then I didn't. I was trying to figure out why Heavenly Father wanted me to stay here for a 4th move-call (that's a long time-6 months). Then we met Xu JM. Xu JM lives in Australia, her soon to be ex-husband kicked her out of their house, so she came back to Taiwan. She doesn't usually go outside, but that day she decided to go out with her mom. Then she saw me on the street. She walked past me, and then had a feeling to go back and talk to me. And then we have met with her every day since then, teaching her about the gospel and how to pray and find answers to her questions. And now on Saturday she is getting baptized! The timing of it all gets even crazier, though. Zhu JM will be training a new missionary in this area next move-call which means I will be moving somewhere new on the 16th of September. And on the 20th of September Xu JM will be moving back to Australia. We literally had less than a 2 month period to meet and within that amount of time she has developed a relationship with her Heavenly Father and taken the first step to return to Him. AMAZING!! The other day we were at her house and I was playing the piano getting ready to sing the opening song. Xu JM was talking to my companion and told her that she thought that I was her angel Heavenly Father sent to her to help her find the church. I don't think she thought I would understand because she was speaking in Chinese, but I did. And then tears started coming to my eyes. I don't think I've been more humbled in my life. We are already  making arrangements for her to come to our house next Christmas (2014) and new years-she has never had a white Christmas. I hope that's ok :)


Um...what else. I can't think of anything else because I'm too excited about Xu JM haha. But we are working hard and I am learning lots. I think my Chinese is slowly slowly coming along (finally). I am still loving every second. Is it too soon to be excited for General Conference? Because I am. haha. I love this gospel so much. I feel so blessed to be here and to be able to give 100% of myself to building the kingdom of God. I know that He loves each of us more than we can even describe or imagine. I know that He has a plan for each of us, and that if we let Him, He will guide and direct us, helping us to live up to the potential that He created us to become. 

Have a good week :)
