Hey everyone, this week blew my mind but every week does anyway, and this transfer is more than half over, that means I may or may not be transferred on May 14. Soon enough though I will be.
So we have 2 new almost baptismal dates. We met them through a member, his name is Bro Dozier and he is an RM that lives in our ward boundries but for some reason goes to the branch in Cupertino, he married a chinese girl (member of course) and they just had a brand new baby, so her parents are in town from China, they asked us to teach them the lessons, and they accepted baptism, we asked them when they wanted and they are still deciding (they are leaving back for China on May 9th...) so we think they can and will be baptized on May 4th... we had 3 lessons with them in the past week and a half and so we think they can be ready by May 4th... they've been to church every week since they've come from China. So it's cool. They're names are Lan 弟兄 and Cheng 姐妹。 We're excited for them.
The M Family is doing well. They had another issue come up, but their other issue is pretty personal, and President has to interview them now because of it, but that's okay, he said that 99% they will still be baptized, we set up their baptism this past Friday, and went to the Temple on Saturday with them too. On Friday night we set up their program and who will do what etc etc so that was great. I felt pretty bad but we asked them who they wanted to be baptized by, and they all said... me. I felt bad for Elder Butcher that none of them picked him to baptize them. So I have the oppurtunity to baptize the three of them this Saturday at 4 PM.
As for Emily, she likes the name, so she pretty much picked it now. One of the members is going to pick up a gift I'm getting for her baptism this saturday. A set of scriptures... with the name embossed of course. Yesterday she told me a joke... I asked her "Did you pick your name yet? Emily, right...?" and she responded "Emmmm... i'm not sure yet :(" and later on in the lesson she told me "Do you want to hear a joke?" and she went on to say "Why do you think I hate the name Emily?" and I asked her "Why do you?" so she responded "I don't... I love that name" hahaha. Added note: Her english is pretty much perfect for a little girl that moved from china 5 years ago.
The Gb's... tsk tsk tsk. We don't think they are going to be baptized anytime soon, except Darian, and maybe... maybe ryan. Darian has been coming to church nonstop for like a months now. So it's been really nice. He's ready for baptism for sure.
Sophie is being baptized May 11th now. She has stuff on May 4th with her kids. 他说了， 诶！ 单长老， 对不起我可以在五月十一好受洗吗？ 然后我说了， 当然可以！ So I naturally said of course. So yes, that's my last Saturday in Fremont... IF I get transferred. Elder Irvine told us that president told him something over the phone that he can't tell us yet until transfers... I think he might be put into English program the rest of his mission..... not sure.
I wish I had some pictures to send this week, but next I will definitely have some for you. I miss the Mamily, and Emily really is like a little sister for me.
Love you all, hope you have a great week.
