Hello how is everyone? Last week was fun. The last four days were pretty nice. It has been raining a lot recently, getting soaked is pretty fun, ha!

So we had exchanges last week, Elder Grayam came to the area. We did street contacting the whole day. It was fun, we met a couple of nice good old people. I've been meeting all these people from Fujian, they are everywhere! (Represent!) So fun teaching these people, sometimes I wonder if some of these people are related to me. Scot has been doing great, he has been progressing really well recently. THe spirit was so powerful during the lesson we had with him last week, we talked about the atonement and how the atonement can help him overcome his weaknesses and trials.

Serving the WeiDuoLiYaSan FenHui has been amazing. I love the members. So much good teachers and great examples to me. I have grown to love the branch and its members. We are working really hard with helping them fulfill their missionary responsibilities.

It has been a trial recently. Investigators are not picking up their phones. It feels like we ran into a wall recently. Pretty tough. These experiences are super humbling. I have learned a lot from my mission recently. The patterns I have seen are pretty clear to me. There is a lot left tho. I have so much more to learn for the remainder of my mission.

One of the great patterns that I have seen is the development of my testimony. As I read my scriptures everyday and pray, my testimony gets stronger. I am so grateful for a knowledge of the savior. I am so grateful that I get to share what I believe to be true with the people that I meet everyday. I love the Savior. I know that he lives. His atonement is real. We all fall short of God's glory, therefore we have to rely on the savior.

I hope you have a great week.

HK 60 Always Have The Temple In Your Sights.

Hello, How is everyone? I just got out of the temple, what a way to be revitalized. I love the temple, it indeed is the house of God.

Last week was special, we were able to help a mainlander enter into the waters of baptism ones again. It has been a great privilege to be able to teach these people. They are very prepared. All we have to do is review what they have learned. It's really special, the guy we taught said he wants to go on a mission as well. How great is that? Just so much potentials with people we have taught. They are indeed the future leaders of the church.

Scot has been progressing really well. The more we meet with him, the more we see him change. He has been changing a ton recently. As we invite this person to pray and read the scriptures his countenance just changes, what a great blessing to see this person changing. We are very stoked with him, we hope he will be prepared by the 15th of may. Please pray for him.

Last week we really listened to the spirit, we are trying to follow the spirit at all times as we find and teach. We have seen great miracles. The other day as we were praying for where we should go we both had the same answers, pretty crazy.

So yeah, I will leave it short. I just one to bear my testimony again of Jesus Christ. He lives. He is my savior and my redeemer. He is central to what we do, and you know what? It is true, He is indeed the person that is central to what we do. Without Him, all we do will be in vain. But, I know that He is really the core of everything. I am so grateful for this knowledge. I am so grateful for Heavenly Father. I just feel His love all the time. What a great privilege it is to grow up having a knowledge of Him. He is indeed our father in Heaven.

Have a great week!
