I tried out my Chinese and it was horrible...oh well. But we gave out some cards and had some interesting experiences. I don't hardly understand the Chinese so I just smile a lot.
My new companion...trainer...Sister Chao is from Hong Kong and has only been out about 4 months....so our president calls us the green companionship. And we are very GREEEN.
I love you all and can't wait to hear from you!!!

Our Movie!
Our lives are like movies. We are on camera all the time. Do you want to watch your movie over? Would you want to watch it with God? You will one day. Thank goodness for our editor Jesus Christ. If we just turn our movie over to him....he can edit out all the bad parts and make it a happy ending.
One of the ladies in our branch gave a talk about her and her granddaughter. Her granddaughter was looking in an American Girl Doll magazine. She opened to a page of all the dolls...from all over, all different looking. She slid her finger over the page saying, "I like this one. I like this one...and this one and this one"....until she had pointed to everyone. That is exactly how God feels. He points at us and says I like this one and this one. We are all beautiful to him and he wants ALL ....each and everyone of us.
Try reading "Prayer is the Soul's Sincere Desire": read it like poetry. It is beautiful!
FILL THE MEASURE OF YOUR CREATION.

Bye MTC; Hello Vancouver
I can't believe my experience is over here at the MTC.
To sum it up:
It has been crazy. We have had all kinds of twists and turns. Like being a pilot district, having tons of teachers, having to give feedback and do activities, having progressing investigators. Also, like a district leader going home. Getting a new sister: splitting our companionship and being a solo sister for one whole week. But the Lord's hand has been in all of it. I know it because of what I have learned. I have learned that love is most important. People are most important. And obedience, true obedience, is out of love.
I have also learned a surety of my calling. That I am supposed to teach the Chinese in Vancouver. And I am so excited!!!! I love being a missionary. I am excited to introduce people to God and Jesus Christ. And the Book of Mormon. It is the most powerful book I love it.
LOVE YOU ALL.
