Week 8--time's almost up!

Some really good language things and I want to tell you about them because I think it's funny and stuff. So Elder Mansell, the one whose mom and dad sent that video of me and picture, was in a lesson. This isn't my story but still pretty funny. So they were teaching the second lesson and Zhang Dixiong asked all about Hell. So then the investigator asked so who goes to Hell?? And Elder Mansell didn't know they had started talking about Hell and thought they were talking about the celestial kingdom so then he asnwers "Everyone !" Then his companion started freaking out and had to explain that not everyone goes to Hell. 

Zhang Dixiong our other "investigator" got baptized on saturday! Yeah! We were so excited that he did. He was so ready and he is just so great. We love him! So this week we get to meet with both of them until thursday and then "transfer" them to other missionaries... We are suuuuuper sad. Wei Laoshi (sister winters) and Bao Laoshi (brother boyle) are leaving us on thursday!!! I want to cry everytime I think about it. I seriously am so sad that they are leaving. We have gotten so close to our teachers and we see them every day and I am going to miss them like crazy. Also brother tate ("qin'ai de tong laoshi" aka "qin'ai wo de tongban") is leaving. We will miss him so much. I can't even handle them leaving. I will probably be a reck that day. It's fine. Kind of. Haha

We got to go to the temple today for the first time in like 7 weeks!!!!! It was incredible. I missed the temple so much. I love the celestial room especially. Anyway, it was very refreshing to get to go.

The church is true! Fight every single day for it, because it is 100% worth your time. Don't let Satan have anything over you. It's not worth it. I know that through Christ we can be saved. Wo zhidao Yesu Jidu wei women shuzui. Wo zhidao touguo ta women keyi chengwei jiejing. Wo ai Yesu Jidu, wo ai zhege jiaohui. Wo ai nimen! Wo shi quaile he anquan. Wo wei nimen qidao. Nimen shi lihai! Zai jian! Feng Yesu Jidu de ming, Amen

Ai, Mai Jie Mei! (love, sister smedley)

CLEANING THE TEMPLE--So we got to go clean the temple for 3 and 1/2 hours this morning. Guess what me and sister Chamberlain got to do? We got to clean the chandeliers in one of the sealing rooms. It was incredible. You have to take them apart piece by piece, you have to clean them and be so careful because they are pure crystal. It was so fun and the two ladies working with us were so funny. They were making us laugh a lot. We got to go to the celestial room after and we saw all the elders in there waiting for us two. It was amazing. I looked at the picture of Christ and immediately I just felt how much he loves me and all his children. I felt peace that he would be there to help in every moment even when we feel like he isn't. It was truly and amazing experience. I loved it. Then we got to go on a tour and see some of the rooms. We got to see the brides room! It was gorgeous!!!!! Holy moly. I can't even handle the beauty. One of the elders asked what the grooms get, they said, "a locker and a mirror." Haha it was funny. Brother porter talked to the elders about how they should treat the sisters. It rocked. He told them that it is very easy to get a bad reputation. You just have to mistreat the sisters one time and you will have a bad reputation. Hahaha it was funny but also really nice. He said they could also get the best reputations by treating the sisters good. It is so nice how respected we felt today. It was cool.
