Back Into the Frying Pan

大家好!

Another HOOOTT week out in good'ol California! 

We are on bikes and have tight collars, so it has been a nice sweaty week! 

However, that will not stop us from working hard to find the ELECT! 

This week was full of many miracles and fun events. The first thing I would like to talk about is Elder Lai! I have the wonderful opportunity to train again. Elder Lai is from Taiwan, he is 24 years old and already graduated college! He is super smart and very humble and willing to do the Lord's work. I feel as though he is training me, he has no problem teaching and has already amazing English! 

We worked hard this week as a trio to find the Elect! We found 4 new investigators and are very grateful for the blessings the Lord has given us. 

We had 4 of our investigators also come to church and had a great experience! We have been teaching 3-4 lessons every day and have stayed very busy. We know the Lord is trusting us with his children and we are doing everything we can to be worthy of those blessings. 

On Saturday we had the opportunity of teaching a FAMILY!! WHOOT WHOOT! The Du family currently live on Campus and are doing Postdoc. Science work for the school. He and his wife are both scientists by profession. We had the opportunity of teaching him and his wife along with their 6 year old son! The lessons was amazing!! We taught them the Restoration and answered many of their questions, he knew who President Nelson was and said he was a good man! He expressed to me that he and his wife have been "taught" to doubt everything. He said, "My wife and I do not believe their is a God". However as I have done scientific studies and experiments over the years, I have come to the conclusion that life is too complicated". He continued " I am convinced there is a supreme being that is looking after us, and I hope you can help my Family find Him". We were very humbled by their humilty and willingness to learn. They promised to read the Book of Mormon and are excited to tell us about their studies!!

We have been blessed and are planning to continue to work hard! God is good and loves us all very much , He is in the details of our life. Let us all work a little harder to make that connection with him this week! 

LOVE ALL OF YOU, hope you have a cooler week than we will!

When you are so exhausted from doing good!

Bear Necessities Package

These seem to be becoming a common package😏

Ben is such an example to me of humility. He is technically the "trainer" for Elder Lai and yet he speaks a lot about how much he is learning from him. The two of them have a pact that Ben only speaks in Chinese to him and Elder Lai will only speak English to Ben. I LOVE that they are doing all they can to improve and learn from one another. Another successful week out on the mission!
