So many new friends!

My super awesome raincoat. (My really good, fairly expensive one was lost by the movers, along with everything else that I had in my bike box)
We were able to find 4 new investigators this week!  And they were all just great little miracles.  One of them is a former who met with us for the first time on Tuesday, but in the lesson said that she won't be able to meet until after December because of some stuff.  Needless to say were were a bit devastated, but after feeling and following the promptings of the Spirit, bearing testimony of how the gospel can bless her and giving a few pretty direct invitations, she said she wanted to find the true church and agreed to meet with us every week and that same time.  Miracle!

Our second investigator is a friend we made in English class, we had known her for a while but hadn't gotten around to asking if she wanted to learn the gospel with us.  But, she agreed and we had a good meeting.  But, it turns out that she is in our neighboring district.  But that doesn't matter!  Us missionaries are all here to help others to come unto Christ!

The third was also a former.  We were not too sure of her interest level at first, but we met her on Saturday and she agreed to continue learning and to come to church for the full three hours.  Our wonderful Liu Family invited us, the Elders and our investigators over for dinner.  I think it was a great opportunity for her to feel a bit more comfortable.  (She is the awkward shy type.)

Our fourth is another former investigator, although she is also a bit more special because her mom is a member and she already comes to church every week she can and keeps the commandments.  She has met with missionaries many times before, but always got stumped at the actually deciding to get baptized part.  We are praying to be able to help find out what her concern and need is to help she overcome her worries about baptism.

That's all folks!  Hope you all have been living well and spreading the gospel in your own ways!
