This week was pretty average. Until Sunday!! It was a pretty average week here in Murray. We didn't have any set appointments this week so we just went contacting and were able to set up appointments for this whole week!! I was super glad we were able to contact as many people as we did. That was a blessing.
On Sunday, a member brought 3 Chinese siblings to church with us. Now you might be thinking, who brings Chinese people to a Latino ward right? Well, it turns out that their Spanish is as good as my English! The whole ward was incredibly shocked!! And they only speak broken English which shocked us even more! They apparently stayed in Venezuela for several months and that is where they learned Spanish. They are originally from China too. The oldest is 24, then his brother is 22, and their sister is 13. They all speak 3 languages, except the sister. She speaks 4. Chinese, Spanish, English, and Italian!! And they all want to learn more languages. Anyways, they are super cool and super interested. The brother in our ward didn't even have to ask them if they wanted to come to church, they themselves asked if they could come with! So we are definitely going to be working with them more.
Also on Sunday, the sisters missionaries in our ward had a baptism. It was really good and didn't take more than 45 minutes, which is perfect. The person being baptized's name is Franklin. He is from Hermosillo, Mexico and has been in the states for about 6 years now. He has lived in both Miami and Houston, which both got flooded by hurricanes! Crazy. He is super awesome and has a really strong testimony of the Gospel. It was a perfect way to end an okay week.
