Family,
Thanks for your letters.
Dad - We have been getting trained on very similar stuff lately. At the missionwide broadcast, one of the speakers talked about 1 Kings 17 as well. Also at our most recent Zone Training, a lot of it focused on the Sabbath Day and preparing ourselves for it. I gave a talk on that exact subject using 3 Nephi 17:3. Quite an important principle. Thank you for reminding me. I'm glad the knee is getting better. I'll have to shoot Bajo an email, although I only know his mission one.
Nice work Sadie!! That's sweet! You're going to love it there. Biggest tip is to get homework done early and right after classes in the morning. Try to get it done before dinner, usually that is no problem. Don't expect anything to ever get done after dinner, it doesn't really work, I've tried. I don't have too many suggestings for classes. Just look at MyMap and don't be dumb in your selections. Make sure what you are doing will be helping your GE or major and try to get double counters for the GE, unless it is a horrible class. That made no sense, sorry. If you give some classes, I might be able to recommend some teachers, problem is they often switch every semester.
Mom - BYU Jerusalem would be sweet. I have no real preferences right now. I'd maybe like to go during the spring or summer if that is possible. I have no idea on when our next temple day will be.
Our investigators are doing great. A-zhen has been coming to church and is progressing. We are having dinner with her at a members house this week. Also Chen DX is doing great. He also came to church, which was amazing especially since church is at 9 and he works everyday from 7 at night till 7 in the morning. Not too much else happened, but we have a ton scheduled for next week. We should have some new investigators.
We were able to go to Kam Tin for a few hours and to some street contacting. It was great. We ran into this dude that we met a few days earlier on the MTR and a bunch of other awesome people, we should be meeting with this week. In those 2 hours we met a man from Fiji, Gambia, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Hong Kong.
One of our goals this week was to pray more sincerely and in faith to find new prepared investigators. The Lord definitely answered our prayers. We are excited for this week. Hopefully I don't move this week. We'll see. I probobly shouldn't have said that out loud. We're ok though, cause I just wrote it out loud. Nevermind. I don't know what I am saying.
I know that the Lord answers our prayers when we ask with a sincere heart, with real intent and with faith that we will receive an answer.
I'm excited for Elder Stevensen today. I'll let you know how it goes.
Love,
Elder Stratford
