Week 88

GOODBYE ELDER REDDING

Well, I have a new companion. His name is Elder Williams and he's from Arizona.  He seems like a really nice guy and I can't wait to get to know him.  We were really surprised when we got the news on Saturday that Elder Redding was going to move. He just got here, but because President doesn't want a bunch of zone leaders to go home the first transfer with Elder Teh, he put in a bunch of new zone leaders.

This last week we met a new family! We have an investigator who has been meeting with missionaries from before I got here and finally he allowed us to go over and visit his entire family. He has a son who is 17 and a daughter who is 14. They were all super cool. When we shared some of our experiences as missionaries, the mom of the family cried. It was such a great miracle.

At 6 o'clock Saturday night we had a lady in our ward get baptized, and Denny Wu, our investigator, was also going to get baptized that day... but he texted us and told us he could not get baptized because of family opposition. It was some sad news!  

But then after the baptism, we had a ward activity. It was a Hawaiian party. We had some Hawaiian pizza and we had a bunch of investigators come. Zi Gang and Sam both came. We also had a new investigator we met on the street come.  He came and he asked us a bunch of questions about missionary work.

The other miracle was a new investigator who came through english class.  After class we had a student come up to me and ask if he could get baptized! So, we met with him and he talked to us of how he regretted a lot of the decisions he made in his life and he really wanted to have a new start. So, we gave him a baptism goal. We hope that he can hit his goal. His name is Peter Chen.
