Live It Love It!

Hello!

This week has been a good week! So last Monday was something pretty cool! We got to gather together as a whole mission and go to Wan Chai to hear one of the twelve apostles speak to us (Elder Stevenson)! It was really inspiring and he talked a lot about trusting the Holy Ghost and acting on the impressions you get from it!  

 

Elder Stevenson also told us that we follow the commandments because we love it! And I thought that was interesting because some people think commandments are like rules but it is all about your attitude and recognizing that commandments and mission rules or whatever are just to enable you to receive the blessings of heaven! It was pretty cool! He also told us stories of when he was a mission president in Japan!

On Tuesday we had out weekly zone lunch and district meeting. Also this member named Karmen loves giving the missionaries nick names so she calls me Grandpa and this other missionary (Elder Jepsen) Grandma! So she wanted to take some pictures with "Grandpa and Grandma" haha. She is super funny and super nice! She loves missionaries and it was just super fun getting to know her better and talking to her. Then we did a zone find I went with Elder Engel who is a Mandarin missionary. He taught me some more Mandarin and I taught him some Cantonese. It was interesting because I realized I could understand a lot more Mandarin than I thought but that is still not that much at all haha! It was super fun talking to people and getting to know them. We just really tried to talk to them and get to know them instead of jumping right into gospel talk. It is a pretty effective way to find because the people actually think you care about them.

Wednesday was crossroads.

Thursday a member invited us and our investigator to a pizza place. This investigator (his English name is Nicky) is really liking the church so this next week we are hoping to give him a baptismal date and by doing this hoping to bring back his mom!

Saturday we had a badminton and ping pong activity which both Nicky and his mom attended! It was super fun and I got to play ping pong with some Chinese people who are pretty dang good at ping pong! haha

Sunday was church! We had one Mandarin elder Come with us to Yuen Long church so we are in a tri companionship for a little bit! then we taught a lesson to a potential investigator and the lesson went really well. It was about prayer!

That is all! Thank you all for being the best!
