This week in West Point:

Hey Family! =) How are you all doing? I just realized that in all my old emails in january i wrote 2009 not 2010. I guess that since in china it's not really the "new" year yet. =) Chinese New Year is on Feb 14th. I'm pretty excited for it. everything is getting decorated in Gold and Red and images of Tigers are everywhere. haha it's pretty cool. it makes christmas look pretty small. =) haha anyway this week has been pretty good. Last P-Day we went to Cheung Chau (the island in our area) and went exploring and went through an old pirate cave and found a private cove that looked so amazing. i wish we could swim.
On Saturday was Elder Lybbert's birthday and we treated him to McDonalds breakfast =) haha that's as fancy as missionaries go =) His parents sent him some little things to make small cakes and he loaded it up with candles. it was pretty cool.
We've seen a lot of miracles this week. the other day an investigator from aberdeen called and was talking to Elder Lybbert and she told him she wants to be baptised!!!! =) I've never had an investigator say that they want to be baptised before we invite them to be. it was pretty cool and elder Lybbert looked like he was in the clouds =) haha. On sunday we taught a member referal that has so much faith. she really wants to know if the Book of Mormon is true and if Joseph Smith is a real prophet. It was an amazing lesson.
Sorry i haven't really told you all very much about our investigators. our golden ones right now are Candy, Keven, and Alison. Alison is the one that said she wants to be baptised. Keven and Candy both have baptism dates for this month. Keven is seriously the most amazing humble person i've ever tought. before he had a really bad Word of Wisdom problem but he has completely turned his life around. He always tells us how much of an improvement he sees in himself. Candy is also amazing. she has a lot of faith and really loves family. she told me that's what attracted her to this church was how much we focus on family.
I love you all so much! I hope you all have an amazing week and i'll talk to you later. THE CHURCH IS TRUE!!!!! =)
