Shea's Mission!!!: it is ALIVE!!!

For real!

Hey everyone!!!! This week has been amazing!!! Can I just tell you how much I love to be a missionary? It is the very best thing ever. Ever ever.

So last week we had a bit of a rough time... I was told by someone that I havent really had a very successful mission because I havent been able to see someone be baptized. I was pointed out many of my flaws and felt a bit like I had been punched in the face. No big deal. I blew it off, considering they had no idea what they were talking about. But it still hurt.

But this work is SOOOOO ALIVE! So unbelievably ALIVE! Things move on, every little thing we do as missionaries is not wasted. Anna is getting baptized this coming sunday. :) Wu jimuih, who sister Palmer and I found on our first day together, has been being taught by the mandarins and is also getting baptized on sunday. :) Yesterday the Cheung Sha Wan sisters called me to ask a question and I found out that Sister Chan (the one who had cancer) and her daughter got baptized yesterday!!!!! MIRACLES!!!!!

Not only that... but Choi Lai Wah, the LA who has changed SO much... She has now been to sacrament meeting twice in a row!!! Last Sunday was the first time she has taken the sacrament in over 20 years! I was so proud of her!!!

Our Heavenly Father really truly is a merciful being. He loves us so much. I was so happy yesterday I wanted to cry. I might have just a bit. But miracles really are happening every day. Our investigators are becoming more and more prepared everyday.

I used to think that it was almost impossible for us to be able to find a random stranger on the street and work with them enough that they are ready for the waters of baptism. But the Lord really is leading the work, and he can do amazing things!

I love you all!
