That's right, this week had such a huge miracle that it is the subject of this whole letter. It was so amazing and really helped give us a boost in an otherwise boring, non-eventful week.
So this week we met with our investigator, Mandy, for the first time since 13 Dec ish when she left for China. It was great to catch up with her and hear her stories from being with family and whatnot. What was even better is when we asked her about what her family said about baptism. This miracle is so big it needs to be divided into separate parts to be properly analysed and appreciated.
1. She finished 1 Nephi over the break and started into 2 Nephi. How diligent is that?? (For a Chinese student on holiday, super diligent, in case you were unaware.)
2. When we asked what her family said about baptism, she said it was okay. Her mom wasn't super opposed or super enthralled, but gave her permission. This is a huge hurdle we have to jump with all of our Chinese investigators, so that is just awesome.
3. She told us that she prayed over the vacation and that on the aeroplane ride back, she received an answer that she needs to get baptised. OH MY WORD THAT IS JUST TOO AWESOME! :)
4. She said she'd like to get baptised this summer. We said, yeah okay. Or you could get baptised at the beginning of February. And she was like .... Mmm, yeah, okay. So, if all goes well, she'll be baptised on the 7th of February!
We are just so excited. It was amazing to see how the Spirit can work in people when they pray and read the Book of Mormon. I've said it once and I'll say it 1000 more times: When people pray and read the Book of Mormon, they get closer to God and get answers to their questions. I know it's true. I've seen the evidence time and time again here in England.
Well I hope you all had a great week! Keep looking for little miracles and tender mercies in your life, because they are definitely there. Love you all!
Love,
Sister Larson

Last district photo before Sister Lu and Elder Adams transferred!! I think one of them's blurry, sorry, but I look better in the blurry one than i do in the other one. we were like, sisters sit down and elders stand behind! But then I was like no I look fat when I sit down. elders can sit down this time! So we broke tradition and did this instead haha. It looks a bit weird but i like it. :)
