Well, this week was another good one. We got some new investigators, and currently have 10 "Progressing Investigators". Yang Yang and her sister Qing Qing, we met them this week, and they went to church for the first time, then after Yang Yang asked us if she could be baptized, so, we may have her and Jiang Ping baptized within the next couple weeks.We've also been teaching Clair Pan, a really intelligent woman, who... kind of like Stephen from Nacho Libre, believes in science. But she's started praying, and feels God is there. She's really sincere in her search for truth, she asks lots of deep questions, so, we read Alma 32 with her and talked about how we're just inviting her to "experiment on the word". One thing she asked is why God just doesn't give us a sign or evidence. We had just explained the plan of salvation, and how life is a test, so, not from my own mind, i said If life is a test of faith, and we're just given a sign, it's like cheating in a test. we wouldn't learn anything and it wouldn't be fair.... (so, i guess the unfairness in life is one of the few fair things in it)... or something. So, hopefully all goes well.There's not really too much to report here. It's been hot and humid, but we've been inside most of the time teaching, so that's good.Oh, this is something i've delayed reporting on, but my shirts all have black lines on them from the waist of my pants... So I don't know if I can clean them, or if we can get a refund on the shirts, but I'll send a picture so you can see what im' talking about. Oh, the black stuff didn't appear until i got to new york, and it's on all my short sleeve shirts. Ok, well, talk to you later! -Elder Eddy
