A quite busy...busy...week!!!

So, this week has been and will be quite busy!  Me and Sister Clark are Sister Training Leaders.  That may be by default since we are the only sisters who are at 6 weeks in our zone.  Although our Branch President assured us that the Lord called us and this is purposeful…well, who knows?  But, I am excited and hopefully I will be able to be a friend and helpful to the sisters that are here.  You guys know how much I hate drama so hopefully I can solve any and resolve problems without getting mad :)  Wish me luck!

All the old zones left which means our roommates did as well and it was really sad.  On the bright side, that means we are the oldest missionaries in the MTC and the oldest district.  We only have 3 weeks left here in the MTC.  We are supposedly getting 10 new sisters and 10 new elders today to our zone.  My companion has taught me that there is a blessing in everything :)  So we have to do a new missionary orientation and make them feel excited to be here!!!  I am excited to meet them all…haha.

This week we taught our first skype TRC and it was amazing!!!  TRC is where we teach a member and it is kind of like family home evening or when you feed the missionaries and they share a spiritual thought; only it lasts for 30 minutes.  We talked to Fu jiemei who lives in Taiwan and it made me so excited to leave!!  She was so sweet and so nice.  We talked about prayer and then she gave the closing prayer and it was the most beautiful prayer I have ever heard.  We felt the spirit so strongly and we were communicating through skype! This gospel is amazing guys!!

Unfortunately, one of our Chinese teachers was a temporary teacher and so his last day was Monday :(  Sad days…  We had to say goodbye to him and we will miss him.  He was pretty sarcastic and also pretty savage, but his class was always fun and we still managed to learn :)  He and our other teacher balanced each other out pretty well so we will miss him.

This week Sister Clark and I also were "chosen" to teach the head of all the teachers at the MTC.  We were super nervous because we wanted it to be good and show him that we have actually learned something.  It ended up going okay, we thought, but we never received any feedback from him which was unfortunate.  It was a good learning experience though.

Quote from the week:
Our teacher always writes on the chalkboard in Chinese, but this time he wrote “DoHomework” up there and one of the elders asks, "What does Doho... ohhh that is English" Chinese has taken over our brains!!!

Spiritual quote of the week:
"Be not afraid, only believe.”  Believe that God will and can help you through whatever!  Just have faith :)

I love this gospel!  I am so lucky to have the opportunity to share it with the people of China!

Wo ai nimen,

Sister Loo

Last day with Jin Laoshi so we all wore sweaters because he wore his everyday to class.
