This week was great, great week of helping people come unto Christ. This week was super spiritual as well because we had zone conference and district conference. I have come to love these types of meeting. Growing up in church I never value the time in church and in other meetings. Things actually started clicking when I turned 17. Everything in church was actually interesting and helpful. I am grateful for the gift of the Holy Ghost because through Him I am able to learn for myself about the truthfulness of the things taught in church. My faith in Jesus Christ was strengthened once again during zone conference. President Lam is really good with putting everything around Christ. In zone conference we learned about the culture of Hong Kong. Also got a chance to improve my teaching skills through some training given by the zone leaders. At the end of the day, as missionaries our purpose is to invite people to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel. This is our purpose. 

This week was great. Taught great lessons. We were able to teach this guy with a ton of questions about the book of Mormon. It was rough cos his questions were super intellectual but then Elder Forston and I asked him what he wanted to get out of the Book of Mormon. Then afterwards we testified to him about how the Book of Mormon can improve the qualities of his life. I just love it when you feel the spirit as you testify to people. We are also helping a guy come unto Christ step by step. We were able to teach him almost everyday of the week. Pretty funny cos he says he wants to quit his job to hang out with us. Well hopefully he doesn't, ha! Finding here on the island is Cha Bu Duo. People still doesn't stop. But there are tons of families here so we are trying to focus more on families this week. 

I am grateful for the spiritual experiences I have had out hear on my mission. I know there will be more. I know Christ lives and I know that the fullness of His gospel is once again restored on this earth. I know families can be together forever.

Hello,

Another Great week of missionary work. Serving the International ward was really fun. The members in the branch are really strong and they do have a strong testimony of Christ. So yeah, after 6 days of working with Elder Mangrobang I got transferred back into the Mandarin Work. So now I am actually serving with Elder Forston in the Island. So we are both serving the HK island and we attend the Victoria 3rd branch. Time just makes you look at things differently. After six days of working with Elder Mangrobang, I was able to learn a alot. It was a pretty humbling experience. I actually struggled and it humbled me. I relied on the savior so much during those six days, and I am working hard on keeping that mindset here in the mandarin work.

So yeah, last 4 days back in mandarin work is awesome. Have been really praying hard recently and we've seen miracles! We were actually doing welcome center finding the other day, and what we do is we stay in front of the wan chai chapel and try to invite people to take a tour of a building. I praying really hard that we would find someone. Cool thing was an hour after, we were able to invite someone to come in, she was really interested. We taught the restoration and she will be coming to church this week. So that is pretty cool. The vic3 branch is pretty nice. It is all in mandarin! It is an interesting branch, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve this branch.

This week Elder Forston and I had the chance to visit the James family. Super good family. Once again my testimony is strengthened by their example. Families who applies the gospel into their lives are the best. I am grateful that my mom and dad were great examples to me. Being out here on a mission made me realize how mom and dad were the best. I am grateful I was raised in the gospel. It has protected me from a lot of things and it brought a direction into my life. I am grateful for the Plan of Salvation. It answers 3 questions, where were we before mortality, our purpose in life, what is life after death. I am grateful for the eternal perspective it brings. It has brought a lot of peace into my life.

I know Christ Lives. I really do.
