I am officially done with training, and now
being "broken" (breaker is what we call our 2nd companion in the
mission)!! It was so so sad to see Sis Petersen leave- we have gotten really
close- but I have a great new companion.....more about that in a minute!!

We saw SO MANY MIRACLES THIS WEEK!!! WOW! God
is so good to us! We have gotten a million super golden referrals!!
Beta called us this week! We set up to meet
with him at an older couple's house from the ward. We had a great lesson with
him. We asked him if he believes the Book of Mormon is true, and he said yes!
We talked about the gift of the Holy Ghost and asked him if he still wanted to
be baptized. He said yes!!! His parents wanted him to wait until after his
birthday, so we asked him when his birthday was and when he wants to get
baptized. He said July 20th!! He is such a good kid- please pray for him that
he will keep progressing and come to church every Sunday (his biggest challenge
right now).

One of the other miracles from this week had to
do with temple square tours. On Thursday as we were doing tours, a man came in
and said he had read all of Mormon.org and wanted to know who to talk to
to join the church!! We grabbed the Brother and Sister Baird (public affairs
missionaries- we're not allowed to meet with a man alone) from upstairs, Sis
Petersen gave the tour, I translated for the Baird’s (they don't speak
Chinese), and we invited him to baptism on July 27, and he accepted!! Actually,
he asked if he could get baptized earlier! He came to church yesterday!! He
took notes and asked a ton of questions!
We met with a super golden phone referral this
week as well- W JM! She went to church as a child and remembers feeling a
"really good but hard to describe feeling". She is super sweet and
humble and we set a baptismal date with her for the 27th of July! And....she
came to church yesterday!!!! Pray for her!
We also had a lesson with a C DX that we met
last week on the street and set a date with him as well! He didn't come to
church yesterday but sent us a text and said that he was so sorry that he
overslept but promised that he would be on time next week! I think he will be
solid!

The temple sisters gave us a referral for a
family of three that wants to be baptized! We called them and the mom said that
they need the church and want to be baptized and they told us all the dates
they can meet and everything! Wow!
Friday was transfer meeting. I don't think I've
ever told you how transfers work here. On Wed night, if you or your companion
are moving, you get a call from the Zone Leaders and they tell you to come to
the transfer meeting on Fri morning. Everyone who is moving from the mission
goes to the meeting at the chapel across from the mission home...it's like a
great big reunion. :D President starts first with assigning the new
missionaries to their trainers. Then he uses a slide show with everyone's pics
to announce the changes. He loves to make it super suspenseful and everyone
claps and cheers. Basically, it's a ton of fun! My new companion is Sis Roy!
She has been on island for 10 mo, has great Chinese, and loves taking out the
trash just like me. :D I am really excited to work with her.
In other news, the people that own the fried
rice place that we go to all the time sold it to another couple- the man is
Mexican and the woman is Taiwanese. So now, in addition to having yummy
Taiwanese food, they also serve salsa. Hahaha! It is so tasty!
Love,
Sister Murri
