WEEK 52 RICHMOND: 人生就像擦屁股

Pause

。。。

...

I love Chinese people 

...

Well what a great week. It's been an absolute grind and me and Elder Wengert are locking even more in. It's been so much fun. 

...

Lets start at Wednesday. Had a lesson with our new friend Frank, who is Christian, but stopped going to church for years. And is starting to come back. The first time we met him he was like "Ya, everyone says 后期圣徒 is super bad. But Chinese people just talk bad about stuff they don't know. So I gotta find out for myself."

And bro is just elect and meets with us twice a week. Sooo ya, he's great! Had the last DC with the district. Great one fs. Found a really cool guy named Michael who isn't Chinese, but he's a chiller. Had a lunch lesson with Li and our member Michael. We all brought food and ate at a park. It was flippin' awesome! Life is so good! Had a lesson with 何先生 who's also a chiller. Then finished the evening with transfer travel pickups.

Always a party in Richmond at transfers.

Thursday! Transfers!.. Ohh wait, don't gotta do it CUS WE STAYIN!! Flippin' dope. Met with Frank again and he brought a friend. We taught them the PoS and both of them were like "This is so cool!!!" Cus even most Christians don't got the full idea. (Shoutout the BoM and fullness of the gospel ). Went finding and met a cool person named Lily walking just random streets. Cool miracle. Then taught English class, and had our nightly scripture studies.

Taught Lisa and invited her to be baptized, she said she'll think about it! She is so cool! She just understands the gospel and has the gift of understanding scriptures. It's so fun to teach her. Taught our new friend Adair who is just an absolute legend. He's so cool and is so excited about the gospel. Taught Li Nan and talked about the Bap interview questions. Our goal is to get her on date this week. Prayers up  

Saturday we grinded church invites in the morning. And met some super cool super elect Chinese people. But they're all going back to China  it's actually such an op. Holy. Taught Alex the big 4 and he was pretty chill on them, tithing might take a sec. But hopefully he'll lock in. Taught Li the temple, and I just can't wait to go to the temple with him. I've literally been praying for the past 6 months that his situation will blow over.  He's so locked in though, and I just love him so much. Taught 何先生 again. Bro is so funny, but talks foreverrrr  what a guy. 

Then found out Michael is going back to China...... The Chinese Michael that was gonna get baptized. But his mom is in some serious condition... so he's gotta go back. 

huhhhh

Prayers up for his mom though

Welp

No worries though cus Sunday was amazing! We had lots of friends come, and they are all so locked in. Taught Mr. Gu after church, and we gonna get him priesthood and a temple recommend here soon. So hyped. Did some mega finding and found a super cool Taiwan lady named Reach, but lives in Burnaby. We just keep finding all the elect people that we can't teach haha. God is good :) 

Also remember that Michael guy I talked about on Wednesday???

Ya, he's on date!!!! It's so cool. We passed him to the AP's and literally the first meeting they put him on date. Bro is just the goat!

One Michael to replace the other, hehe

Cooked up some fire Alfredo Pasta! Don't worry Mama, I'll be cooking when I get home  (got 18 years of repayment).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELDER WENGERT!!!! 

 

Bro is officially Unc.

Monday was epic though. Taught Frank in the morning and he's locked. Did lots of weekly planning. Went to Uncle Sal's for the birthday boy! (get it, "Uncle" Sals's. Cuz he's Unc now.. haha...).

Sorry

But taught Lotus who's super cool! She really is trying to understand Christianity and was asking some questions that we just don't have the answers to. But she's still super awesome and it's so much fun to teach her. 

Then taught Lisa.... She's going back to China as well, and can't get baptized 

BROOOOOOO

Such op

没问题, we stay locked. 

Finished up the night with some birthday mango smoothies! 

Today was good, did all the p-day stuff. Played pickleball, and tonight we have MLC temple trip, so that's always a blast.

。。。

It's okay if it's not perfect

。。。

Finding Joy is a point-of-view. It don't matter what our life circumstances are. It matters what the focus is (shoutout P Nelly) 

With Jesus, we can always find Joy. Cus at the end of the day, being mad is just not enjoyable. 

Choose to be Happy, cus with Jesus we can. 

 

Look at that birthday boy 

Got absolutely clipped cus our internet in this apartment is soooo 差 and we were frozen like that for forever on everyone's screen
