Baptisms!

Zhenya asked me to send this for her this week.  Her P-day was on tuesday instead of Monday because they were having interviews with their Mission President on Monday.  Her and Sister Xia are doing well and have 2 baptisms this week!  

We had interviews yesterday with our Mission President yesterday. I

love our Mission President, President Villanueva and his wife so much. Seriously. Some of the

most hardworking, selfless, kindest people you will ever meet. I want

to be them. 

SO this week was kind of crazy but I loved it. First off

we thought we were going to have a baptism for Sister Feng this Sunday

but we were kind of unsure because she was MIA. We

finally met with her Thursday and she said that she was still up for

being baptized. So we scheduled an interview for her on Friday but she

missed it because her work is CRAZY. She works with people in China

and in America so she is literally working 24/7! I love her. If you

all want to pray for her, pray that she will be able to have the faith

and courage to stand for what she believes in because her boss is

really just not nice. That's as kind as I can put him.  But she had

her baptismal interview after church this Sunday everything went well and 

she's going to be baptized this Sunday!!  We went to see 

the temple and walk around the temple grounds, and she loved it!! 

I am really looking forward to her baptism!  

David is doing well. He is a bit grumpy, but ya know giving up tobacco

after taking it for over 40 years is a MAJOR struggle. But he always

says that he is grumpy with a smile. He is probably one of the most

courageous people I've met. But to be honest, everyone I have met with

on my mission and who I have seen make a covenant with God are very

courageous. There are many heartaches and struggles and challenges

that come from making this decision. I admire them because even when

Satan is working hard against them, they stand for what they know to be

true, because they felt something powerful. Something that

the world cannot duplicate in any way, and they did not deny it. They

did not ignore it. They acted on it and now they are seeing the many blessings 

that come from sacrifice and obedience. 

David will be baptized this Saturday! Keep praying that he will have

strength from the atonement to resist the temptations he has.

I know for a fact that prayers work. I have felt them and seen them

work. So thank you for remembering David and Sister Feng in your prayers.

I know that there is a lot.... A LOT to pray for now a days, but in a funny

way I know that there is not too much to worry about. As long as we

keep the faith and always keep Christ as our focus.

I love you!

Love,

Sister Plumb.
