Easter and General Conference!
This week has been an exciting one that just flew by (Just like every other week).
We had the great opportunity of teaching some great people this week and the work is progressing very fast.
First thing that was a huge highlight of this week was we got WeChat!! For those of you who don't know what WeChat is, it's like a messaging app that mainly Chinese people use. We had struggled in the past to contact Chinese people and this new app makes it very easy. We have already seen many miracles about people who are interested we wouldn't have been able to find any other way!! Another highlight of that is it allows us to contact our Converts in China. I contacted Alex who was just baptized and left shortly after. He said he is doing great and that he found a church in Beijing. He said "I loved General Conference and my goal when I return to America is to attend a live General Conference broadcast". We are very excited for him and that he continues to learn out in China!
I taught a lesson in English this week, to a very LARGE white man by the name of Rick. Normally we don't teach anyone but Chinese but this was a special case which I will try to explain.
A while back we had knocked a door we thought was Chinese, it ended up being a man by the name of Rick. We did a normal contact and asked if some other Missionaries could come by? He agreed. So the English Elders went by and they knocked the door and like 5 Chinese peeps answered! Not one of them knew English lol. They figured out that he was married to a Chinese woman so they sent it back to us and said just teach him too. So we went by Rick's and he let us teach him. It was a good lesson, however it is more difficult for me to teach in English now lol. He is willing to read and pray and he also wants us to teach the whole house which has TONS of Asians, so that was cool. We hope to also teach his wife who only knows minimal English, so I don't fully understand how they communicate!
We later this week taught another great family by the names of Mrs.Wang and Mr. Zhang It was a super good lesson, and Mrs.Wang who is Mr. Zhang's daughter-in- law was super interested! They both had a very little religious background so we went very slow, however they ate it up! We hope to continue to meet with them and help them come closer to God.
Last but not least we had General Conference! Which was very lit-just one thing after another. The sustaining of President Nelson was a very spiritual experience. I have a full testimony that he is a prophet of God! President Nelson was dropping bombs all Conference which I don't think any of us expected! I was also super hyped about Elder Gong! I am convinced they are going to open China next General Conference lol.😀 My favorite talk was Elder Uchtdorf's! I loved his thoughts about "Behold the man".
I hope you guys also enjoyed Conference. It is always an edifying experience and gives me a new push for the work.

Nothing says Atonement like your families faces blown up, covered in cotton balls
and bunny ears! 😁
