Give ~the little Stream
Hello friends and fam!
Such a good crazy week! Learning so much every day!
This week we got a ton of free stuff! It seemed like everyone we talked to just gave us free stuff! Like Sister Hayden complimented a lady's pink neck warmer and then she gave us both one! What?! And we said happy new year to someone on the street and they gave us each tomatoes! and we also got free tofu at a restaurant! So nice!
This week we also did some walking (which is good because the members are too nice to us ;) ) because we accidentally read the characters wrong in the area book and went to the wrong address for dinner and so we had to quickly take a taxi to get to the right address! But then we decided to walk back to our bikes and invite everyone to church and English class along the way! We ended up having some good gospel conversations!
This week we also spent some time with the new ward (and stake) YSA representative helping her call people and plan for tonight's first YSA FHE! We are super excited to build up the youth and young single adults in the Songshan area!
We taught another sister in Neihu this week named Donna (pronounced like donut without the "t"). It was a good lesson and we found out she had already been baptized so we found a lost sheep!
We also got to teach our friend Amy and her son Jonas with our recent convert, Wendy! Wendy bore a fantastic testimony and even answered some of Amy's questions with information she learned in Institute (scripture study class)! So proud and happy for her! 
We ran into a girl on the MRT named 愉芳who has taken all the lessons, but her parents won't let her get baptized yet, and she ended up coming to the recent convert fireside with us on Sunday! She is super cute and I'm excited to get to know her better!
Lastly, this week we had interviews with President! Its always good to meet with him and I always feel so inspired and loved and renewed! He told me Sister Hayden and I will be staying together for another transfer (which means I'll have been in songshan for 4 transfers, about 6 months) and asked us all about our new years goals and everything we are learning together! I have learned so much from her and we laugh together all the time about our rookie mistakes (wrong addresses, awkward encounters, etc.)!
Scripture of the week: Matthew 16:25
"For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it." The most amazing people I know are the people who spend all their time serving others! I know God is so happy when we help is other children be happy! We are all one family, let's help everyone get home together~safe and sound!
Have a fantastic week!
Sending hugs and prayers!
