We head out of the apartment, and there is a Chinese looking girl walking up the road. Elder Snow talks to her, she was super nice, and crazy thing, she got baptized last week!(by some other church..but it is still great!) We talked some more, shared the message of the Restoration with her, she really enjoyed it, and wow, she complimented our Chinese so, so, so, so much...wow. She said it was phenomenal (haha that is not phenomenal english hehe) she said we sounded like a Chinese person, haha she was super nice. Her English was fine, but she spoke in Chinese with us which was cool. I was really grateful for the entire experience, it was such a miracle. She is heading to China tomorrow, but she wants to meet and talk more when she gets back in August!! Wow, we walked away from that so ecstatic, and surprised. It was such a miracle. Wow, such a miracle. After that we got on the bus. Heading to UVA, then Elder Snow gives me a really, really worried look...then he tells me he doesn't have Yumin's email....we were frantically trying to figure out what to do, thinking if we should go back and knock all of the apartment buildings to find her, then we get an idea(thanks to the Spirit) to text Gan Wei and ask if his roommate is named Yumin...we text him. Then he responds and it is her! We rejoice in gratitude. What a miracle, we then ask Gan Wei if he can send us her email or something...he has yet to reply, but still a great miracle!
We get to UVa...wow, it was very dead...there were very, very few people there. We walked around a bit trying to decide what to do....we head into a bathroom temporarily(and turns out the water bottle filler upper things work pretty good as a water fountain!...only got a little wet hehe) after that a surprise storm shows up....and I realize I didn't have my umbrella...so we start walking to Clark while it is sprinkling a bit. Then it starts going harder, we get out of the down pour, trying to share Elder Snow's umbrella, hopping from tree to tree. Then eventually hit Clark. Then boom. It started raining crazy hard, there were waves going along the ground, we were standing next to the door by Clark, and occasionally get hit by some rain. It was a lot of rain, really exciting to watch. We stood there and watched if for some time, it even started puddling up on the ground...it was really crazy. After that we headed into Clark to clean up our Area Book a bit. It went good, halfway through the Zone Leaders gave us a text, and turned out to be in the room next to us. It continued to rain a lot.
After that we met with Lindsay, it was really good, kind of crazy that she had a final today. But it was a good lesson with her. She mostly had issues about becoming like God, we shared our point and how it makes sense, also talked about faith and works and grace and stuff. It was similar to most other Protestant Christians, it was good though because she was super nice and other things. It was a good lesson, we think she has some good things to ponder. It was quite the miracle though.
Later meet Amir, really soft spoken, has a belief in God and has relied on Prayer to get through it. We talked with him, it was a really spiritual lesson, Elder Snow and I taught quite well in unity, it was a super good lesson. Which is why I say it was a miracle that God gave to us. He really like the 1st Vision, and some other things. He agreed to work towards June 6th for baptism! As well he really liked the idea of coming to church! It was...wow he is so cool. It was seriously just like Ether 12:6 that was such a miracle. We walked away very much stupefied. It was such a miracle. Then we went to the Bench at Brown college to record out two lesson, we look out into the grass, and there is a really small super cute bunny. We were watching it for a second, get back to recording the lesson. We are BOOM!!!! The tiny bunny sprints at me, turns a foot away then speeds off never to be found again....it was kind of crazy. We decided crazy things sometimes happen on the Bench at Brown college.
