6 November 2017 - New Companion


Monday, 30 October 2017
Today we went shopping for shoes! Elder Yang lost one of his basketball shoes on the way back from an exchange so we needed new ones. After that we just cleaned and then went proselyting. We also got the garbage out for the first time this transfer because we have to take it to the garbage truck, which plays songs as it approaches so everyone knows to come out and throw in their trash. That was pretty fun.

We spent most of the day setting up interviews and getting ready to be interviewed. Since we are zone leaders we need to arrange the schedule and set up the rooms. The interview was good, I didn't get fired. :-) We mostly just talked about the zone and things that are going on. I really love getting to be in charge of a zone, mostly for the opportunity to get to see so many amazing missionaries truly working their hardest to serve the Lord.

Honestly, today was mostly contacting. Sorry the email is a bit rushed this week, it's transfers and time is a little scrunched. But it was a mission day today, and I'm really happy!

The man of wonders, Brother Zhong. He has a baptismal goal for December 2! I'm super excited for him. We taught the word of wisdom tonight and he just said yes, he is willing. I can't believe how amazing and dedicated he is to the Lord. Everything he does is to bring him closer to God. His faith is just so strong! He gave up tea and coffee on the spot, and every other commandment he is working really hard and PRAYING FOR HELP TO KEEP THEM!

We had a lesson tonight with our convert Brother Wei. We had a good lesson about the Holy Ghost, and he is ready to get confirmed on Sunday. We met at the Bishop's house and Brother Wei is so happy about being baptized. He has such a desire to follow Christ that it blows me away. I hope to find so many more people like him who want to know their Savior. It makes me want to know Him more as well.

A new investigator named Sister Shen! She accepted a baptismal goal for December. She has been taught by a few other missionaries but lives in our area. She got referred here. And she was super willing to learn about God. She said she is a really nervous person, but that she felt the Gospel might be able to help bring her happiness. We promised her it could. Every day we have an opportunity to help someone come closer to Christ.

The final day for Elder Yang. Most of it was spent packing. He was a great companion, but he has been called back to Taichung to be a zone leader. Elder Fuller is coming to be a zone leader with me! We also put together a little feast for our district since half of them are leaving. It has been a good week.


Stay strong, keep smiling, and share the light!
