So, I'm in SLC south mission until my visa comes and it's pretty awesome.  Just some miracles these past couple of days:
My first night we went to this family that had mentioned that they were interested in learning more and taught them the first lesson and they accepted baptism!!!

We have a Chinese investigator!!! She is awesome, and hopefully we can nail down a baptism date soon

MOst of the work here is reactivation, and it's really sad to see how the gospel can bless people's lives, and then have them reject it and give you a whole bunch of excuses and justification for not coming to church because they can't see how it could help them. Some people, but I know they'll come around eventually and I know God has a plan for each of them. 

So my companions are S. Kusalieva (from Ukraine) and S. Verkist (Idaho). They are really hard working missionaries and LOVE to PUSH ME!!! Next week S. Verkist is going on a 48 hour exchange and on wednesday Sister Kushalieva has training so I'll be senior companion for 4 HOURS!!! I still have NO idea where anything is, so this should be really interesting. 

I have found that door approaches are VERY hard.  People in Utah don't have have a super high respect for missionaries, but we still continue :)

I know the Lord watches out for me! Have an amazing week!!!

Love,
Yu Jie Mei
