Hey thanks for that champ everything is going awesome we have a miracle kid name peter he is from korea but he is kiwi- a new zelander. He has only been meeting with us for two weeks. his family is completely against him getting baptized and think the book of mormon is false scripture. I asked him well if the say yes you'll be baptized, but if they say no what are you going to do? He said i cant deny what you have taught and i asked god if this was what i needed to do to be saved and he answered me through the feelings i have felt so i am going to do it anyways. He told us last night that he is gunna do it an undercover baptism so that they wont know. I thought about this and i wondered could i do that? Could i go against the family i have for something i knew was true or good for me it was a scary situation. It is amazing what the spirit can do to people. Also porschia and nikki committed to be baptized and so amazing things are happening right now pray for peter jang and the epiha family.

Mate you wont believe it but i can invite someone to here about the gospel in chinese...and they understand me. I had a cool expirience this week with a kid named ricky. we were contacting i said hi to him and he looked at me and gave me a sour crusty. being me i was a agrivate i said Hey!! in kind of an angry voice, he stopped i pulled out a picture of christ and said Ni Shing yesu Ji du Ma? and he started smiling and said yes yes! i said we teach of christ and we want to tell you of his church, he said i want to join your church we taught him and he said i feel god i feel peace and we asked him to be baptized and he said huh? then we showed him a picture of christ being baptized and he smiled and said of course. it was awesome. Mate this is really cool being on the mission just waking up and serving and surviving everyday for god and these people. sounds like everything is going swell i cant believe school is going to be out time is going. mate i need some ideas for visual lessons for people and i know that you have heaps up your sleeve so let us have it. sweet as love everyone, elder stoddard

mate we are having ensign moments this is incredible. We have been teaching this Maori family from new zeland weve been teaching since me and elder tehei were together from the beginning she invited us over to teach her little kids, because she wanted them to have a sense of god and direction in their life so that they would go through what she went through so we have been teaching them and they are pretty much members now. Nikki 9 she says that she really wants to get baptized, but before we ask we want the whole family to get on board. So when we have been teaching Porschia- the mom she always distanced herself while we were teaching her kids and it wasnt till the 4th lesson after the kids went to make us some oranges and apples Porschia started asking some questions....haha got her. So now we are best friends with this family they come to church on there own and great things are happening i can see their family coming closer together because of this gospel. Porschia still thinks that it isnt all cooked up to what we say it is... but now for the good part, we taught her on sunday and we just said ask your questions and she didnt really know what questions she had.. i then asked "do you not see the change in your family and the warmth that is in you home?" Then she just broke down and told us all of the spiritual witnesses that she has been having since we have vistited her and told us that she has been feeling the spirit. She told us that she wants to keep rolling with this and see where it takes her family. we just listened the whole and she just resolved her own concerns and truly realized all the simple miracles that have come from the gospel the only thing she needs to do is read the Book of Mormon. And get married dun dun dun mate this is the biggest worst problem in australia, people have familys and still arent married yet. We simply said mine and elder richards job is to help you and your family live together forever. it was awesome. well that is the miracle of the week
