Me-"Wan An! 晚安!" Random Guy on bike-"Oh hey, Good Evening Mormon"

merry merry christmas!!! we opened presents!/ exercised haha the last story for christmas from the 12 days... was one about a little boy who wanted to get a present for jesus and he only had a few dollars..... he ends up using it to help others, but really that is the best gift to Christ we could ever give. 

We had so many miracles this week! It rained on Christmas, and seriously that is like the best time to be out... we met so many great people! one guy we were talking to and we were teaching him how to pray and asked him.... what he was grateful for that day, he said he couldn't think of anything..... later when we gave him a chance to pray he thanked God for a solid job and said the most tender prayer ever. asking, for peace on earth and for all. he is so humble. 

That is my invite, take some time to think about what you are grateful for... i have recently.... started a gratitude journal and each day i write down just a few things that i am grateful for. it really does brighten up your spirits. i am a firm believer in positive thinking. Also, doing service..... that makes you happy too. find a way to serve someone you love this week (:

oh ya! we also met this sweet girl... she is just graduated and she is so sweet!!! i was walking around with a candy cane and i was just like merry christmas! here you go. and gave it to her.... and i was like, "its from america" haha, oh man, i had no idea where i was going with that... but then i remembered the story that my family sent me about the "legend of the candy cane" about how it helps to remind us of the shepherds who went to visit jesus and that the candy cane shape... if you turn it upside down is actually a J! -for Jesus! And so i just basically told her that. ha, anyways, it was all the spirit because we just talked to her and invited her to read the Book of Mormon and find out for herself and come unto Christ... she set a baptismal date for the 24th of January. Wow. so cool. 

Whats awesome, is that if you read the Book of Mormon, with an open heart... and pray.... and ask God, Heavenly Father- who knows it all... well He will tell you whether it is true or not. Whats even better is that there is only two possible answers. yes. or no. but whats even awesomerrr is that i promise that when we do, the answer will be yes. and we will know why because we will feel good. (: 

isn't that what we all want? some more happiness? some more good feelings? the kind that comes from knowing that we are children of God and that He loves us. and that He has prepared a path for us. yes. i think so (:

Well love you all!!! and to explain the subject title thing... haha, yesterday we were walking and knocking doors and this guy on a bike was driving past... i said good night in chinese and he said, ''good evening mormon'' in english! so funny. made mine and sister anderson's night haha. it was just so a matter of fact. haha, and we were just like yup. hello! haha

LOVE, sister walker (:(:

oh you know...... we just found some water. insert epic missionary picture (:

This one makes momma walker tear up...so sweet.  She had me send her this pic so she can show her investigators. How time really flies!

oh and funny story... i was riding my bike on Christmas eve and we were going to be late getting back to the apartment... so we were speeding up.... and i had a package on one of the handle bars, so i was a little tipsy....then, well, my foot slipped on the pedal......and then right there in the middle of the road i just ended up on the ground. and i just laid there, just thinking to myself.... that wasn't even cool. i don't even have a cool story. this is so lame... oh wait, im stuck.... im in the middle of the road... i should probably get up... i was all tangled up in my bag and handle bars... some people ran over and helped me up... all of my stuff was flying everywhere, they got it all... i had lost my shoes too... so i went and grabbed them.. and picked my bike up to see what happened... it looked fine, except for the handles were completely turned sideways. haha i was gathering everything up and then the people helping me looked at my hand and there eyes got big and they just gave me these tissues and was like... do you want to go to the hospital? are you ok? and i was like its fine... got home and i had these huge scrapes on my knees. but HALLELUJAH, thats it. im safe and healing up really good (: haha sister anderson came back and we had to walk the bike home..... the next day got the handles straightened... but ya, we were really late getting home (:

the last story for Christmas from the 12 days... was one about a little boy who wanted to get a present for Jesus and he only had a few dollars..... he ends up using it to help others, but really that is the best gift to Christ we could ever give.
