TRICKY LANGUAGE! Aug 6, 2013

So last monday we had the most awesome experience ever! So we are teaching Becky right now. Well that is who my teacher is portraying from her mission is Becky. So Monday we got to do our first TRC skype! It was so exciting. My teacher Sister Winters hurried and got on facebook to see if the real Becky from Taiwan was available to skype, so we could teach her. So she said she could, so the real Becky agreed to be taught at TRC. So guess who was lucky enough to get to teach her????? Sister Chamberlain and I. It was so cool. She is still investigating, she has been for a year and a half. And it was so cool to talk to a real investigator and teach her. The connection wasn't great, but we still got to get to know her and bear testimony to her about church and how important it is. She goes to church and everything so I asked her why that was important. She said so we could get to know the savior. I asked her why the sacrament was important and she told us because it is about the Savior. So I asked her why the atonement was important to her. Well okay, the spirit did. Because let's be honest, when we teach we get no credit for this. It is all the spirit. But she said she didn't know why the atonement was so important to her. So we got to bear testimony of the atonement and it really made me think why is the atonement important to me. But then I just knew that through it we could be clean. We could become closer to the savior. I am so grateful for the atonement! It was such a cool experience and made us so excited to get to Taiwan. There is nothing like teaching real investigators. It really helped us to know why this work is so important.

So a funny story that happened this week. Once upon a time, I thought my investigator was a killer. So we were teaching Zhang dixiong and we were teaching him the commandments. We were reading them in Mosiah 13. So we got to thou shalt not kill. He read it, but I didn't realized he was reading it, I thought he was asking about it and wondering why we couldn't. So I got this super puzzled look on my face and was like shenme? (what?) and he said something and I was so confused and I was like chengfu. (repeat what you just said) and he was like weishenme (why?). So then I thought he was asking why we couldn't again. So I was just freaking out, and I was like "ni bu keyi bu keyi (you can't!). I was so confused. So then my companion kindly explained to me that he was just reading the verse. And I just busted up laughing. Like I couldn't stop. And we were in the middle of teaching. So then my companion was laughing. So we tried to finish reading the commandments and finish the lesson with the spirit and I just couldn't stop laughing. So then at the end he was like why were you laughing? I didn't know how to explain to him in Chinese that I thought he was a killer just in case he really was... So my companion told him that I thought he had a problem with killing. And he just laughed. But we got out of that lesson and just both could not stop laughing. It was pretty funny! I haven't laughed that hard in a looooong time! hahaha the perks of learning a language!(:

One morning I woke up and accidentally started saying the first vision instead of my prayer. I caught myself after like half of it, and was like, wait a second. I don't think I am praying right now. Then I proceeded to say my prayers. That was a random story but I thought you might appreciate it.
