Xin Nian Kuail Le (happy new year)

I want to wish everyone a happy new year. New Year’s Eve isn’t too big over here because Chinese New Year’s is coming up next month. 

Here is some things I did this past week:

>I went on exchanges with one of Assistants to the President this week. That was an eye opener! They way he did things was different than anything I had done before. We mainly street contacted all day and his style was super business like and he didn't take no for an answer. People would like be like I’m busy and he pretty much would be like “No, stop. We want to share a special message with you” It would get kind of awkward at times but it worked. We found four new investigators in about two hours. I don’t know how interested the people really are, but in his opinion he says we do all we can in our part and whether they show up or not is up to them and their agency.

>We had transfers this week. It was a really weird transfer. We had no idea what was going to happen before except that my companion was getting transferred. He thought I would get a new zone leader companion and he would go back senior companion somewhere. What ended up happening was they combined our zone with a different zone. My companion and the other zone's zone leader became the new combined zone's zone leaders. I went back to district leader and I got a new companion from Minnesota. This is his fourth transfer and he is one of the eighteen year old missionaries. He's pretty funny and we are getting along good.

That’s pretty what happened this week. 

Love,
