This week was very fun, full
of Chinese people doing what Chinese people.
To start this email
off I'm going to give you a run down of what we do for seeking, in California. We are in a unique situation being that the majority of the population is
Caucasian. So we're pretty much bound to driving to parks and "Racial
Profiling". We know where ever park is in our area and we drive to all of
them to see if we can find anyone. So picture this...2 dudes driving a silver Corolla very slowly through a park. We both proceed to lift up our sunglasses
for better vision obviously, aggressively staring at everyone in the park to
see if they are Chinese or not.
Now there are few
things to knowing if they are Chinese:
1. Are the
parents exercising (Swinging arms side to side), or stretching?
2. There tends to be a
large pack of them.
3. The parents are
having more fun on the swings than their children are.
These are all things
that help us find those Chinese people we love so much. I thought you guys
would be curious as to how we find Chinese people in Southern California.
This week however was
quite fun. I had my Birthday on Tuesday! I received many great gifts and I'm
thankful for all the love that was sent my way. Mission Birthdays are quite
different but still quite exciting!
We taught 2 new people
on my Birthday with both very sweet names!
First was Rono she is
about our age and was very curious about our church since another member family
took her to church. She had tons of questions and was very fun to teach. We hope that we will be able to teach her again since she will be going to college
very quick!
Then we taught later
in the evening, a lady by the name of "Apple", (I love the names that
Chinese people come up with), always entertaining. She had a very good
lesson except her son "Thunder"( Yes Thunder) was quite crazy so it
was a little hard to teach her.
Skipping all the way
to Friday after English Class, I had a good conversation with Sister Bao, one
of our investigators. She randomly said to me that she wants to be baptized,
because she has felt the spirit so much!
Then at Church on
Sunday she said she will be leaving for China in a week... So we kindof
panicked and the lesson was one Baptism. She expressed she feels ready to be
baptized but her daughter keeps talking her out of it... So she may or may not
be baptized this Sunday we will all know soon enough! Keep her in your prayers
she is amazing and has such a pure heart!
That's enough for you
guys! Hope you all had a great week, 我愛你們!!!!!
