This week was full of miracles and was just... pretty great! But, there were two days where it rained SO HARD! I can't believe it, but we're still alive so that what's important, right? Last night on our way home it rained maybe the hardest in the last few months, we have to ride up a hill to go home and it felt like we were going up a waterslide in some places! But, we made it home so it's all good. We got super wet though! Also on Tuesday it rained super hard and in front of our house it flooded again. Sorry, a little blurry!
We also had a really cool opportunity to teach a Buddhist woman. She has had some experiences that have lead her to believe in Jesus Christ, but because she has been Buddhist all her life, she isn't really sure who Jesus Christ is. We were given the sweet oppotunity to testify to her who Jesus Christ is and why He is important. She was so thankful to finally know and is looking forward to meeting us again. I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior and that He died for me, that He loved me enough to give His life for my salvation. I know that because of His Atonement I can become a better person and the weakness and tiral that weigh me down can be lifted as I rely on Him and obey His commandments. He truly is the only way we can find lasting happiness and peace in this life. I've looked for peace through the world and haven't been able to find it, but when I look to the Savior, I know that everything will be alright. I know that each and every one of you can find peace through Him as well, all you have to do is let Him in. I love you all and see you in 1! Sister Stringham

This week was great! Sister Rizkiana, in the west part of Surabaya didn't have a companion this last week so we were together, so we had all of Surabaya all to ourselves! It was really fun and I learned a lot. Nothing too exciting happened but I got to meet a lot of great people in the west. We were also able to find a really good potensial investigator in our own area. In all a very good week! We got a picture with the train. Saw the opportunity and took it, great timing! haha We got to go to the 21st floor of an apartment building, and the view was great! So in Central Java there is a food chian called SS. It's the most delicious food ever! They said there wasn't one in Surabaya but we found one. On the menu: kangkung (vegatables, so healthy!), sambal, baked chiken, fried squid, and fried mushrooms. And don't foret the rice! So much rice... We had a litle bit of extra time so we took some candids. Can't go on a mission without one of these!
