Anyways sorry for
all these stories, they are only good if you are there... Whatever... So
anyways this week we finally met with another investigator, Ms. Daai. I
met her once with Elder Petersen and then I met her again finally this
week with Elder Hansen, because she disappeared to go do work... So, she
is a tutor for autistic kids and she's super super nice. But due to the
fact that she is only in business during the school year, during the
summer months, she goes out and finds around 3 different Part time jobs,
so she just disappears, with very little contact. So we called her, and
school started a few weeks before and she was super will ing to meet..
So we did, and it was great :) we taught her the full Restoration, and
she promised to pray about Joseph Smith and The Book of Mormon... So
that was on Wednesday... then on Saturday, we invited her to an activity
where members and investigators could come and clean the church,
unfortunately she was the only one who committed to come, and showed up
(of our investigators of course) the Bishop and some ward missionaries
also came out. But she just hit it off with all of the Ward Members,
they all love her a lot, so like we were able to teach her the Plan of
Salvation and it was really good!!
Sorry this
week really wasn't super crazy or anything it was just full of awesome
blessings that we have. Someone told this to me, that Hong Kong Mission
is a mission of Obedience and Miracles, and as I have kind of observed
how work happens here, that all of the baptisms that we have are
miracles that would not happen if we weren't in the places at the right
times, with that being said, I'm going to turn into "Stereotypical
Missionary Elder Chen" and say that "Obedience brings blessings and
Exact obedience bring Miracles" Elder Hansen and I have set a lot of
goals to be better in the sense of obedience, we weren't blatantly
breaking rules, however there is always room for improvement. As we
have noticed that, Elder Hansen and I were able to set prayerful goals
in places where improvement was needed, and we have already seen the
blessings from it. Stephen's Baptismal date, Meeting Ms. Daai, amazing
Ward support. All these miracles have come because of our strife to be
more obedient to the rules that we do have. With that being said,
obedience and sacrifice are truly the things on which all of Gods
blessings are Predicated. He blesses us for our obedience to his
commandments, and he can help us in any aspect of our lives. And I am
glad that we get to promise that to others as we halve them come to
know the Gospel.
Before I go, I do want to
share something very quickly. There is a mormon message series called
"Mental Health" And its by Elder Holland, it focusses on people with
Mental health issues, and how they have used the Atonement to overcome
their problems. There is a quote that one of the affected people says
where she says "My Heavenly Father and Savior won't give up on me... So
don't you quit" And as i have failed on my mission and as I have
struggled to become better, I have felt that work through me. As long as
we try, The Savior and his Atonement will be there, I love that so much
and I just wanted to share that with you all! I love our Savior, and
the support he gives to me and provides to all of you as we all strive
to be better. The Church is True!
Love,
Elder Chen
