Family,
Sounds like you guys are having a blast, I'm
way jealous of that ramp! I still remember the old BMX days, when we
built that dirt course next to our house and were always jumping. . . I
can't believe Ally and Brendan are already coming home. The last letter
ally wrote me was when she hit her half way mark!
Things have been going crazy good this week. We have been blessed
with some incredible investigators. Jiang D--- will be baptized this
Sunday, and we also found a couple from Beijing, Sun and Liu, that will
hopefully be baptized in November. The couple came to church for the
first time yesterday, and the husband was asked to introduce himself in
priesthood. He stood up and bore a testimony of how the spirit in the
building has moved him in a way that he couldn't explain, and how
grateful he was to be there. They have all been fellowshipped so well;
our new plan of working with the ward closely has worked SO well. We're
having a family home evening tonight with a member, and 3 investigators
will be present. They've all become such good friends with each other
and the ward members. We're also having an investigator dinner on Friday
at a different members house. A foundation is being set for the work to
explode in our ward, and just the chinese work in general... it's so
exciting to be apart of! Eric B--- gave me his guitar last week to fix
up and stuff... MAN i can't even begin to say how nice it has been to
play a guitar again! I've been arranging hymns during lunch and I think
I'll play some in one of the upcoming baptismal services, that'll be way
fun. Also... our sink has been clogged for a week and so there are
dirty dishes everywhere and our apartment smells like poop. A chinese
man tried to come fix it this morning, but he looked at it for a few
seconds, said "bu xing" which means "no way", and walked out. Our
apartment has so many problems, I think we'll try to convince the
mission that this apartment needs to go.
Well I planned on sending some pictures today... but I just
realized I forgot my camera. I'll try to go get some developed today
that I can send in a letter home. So be waiting for 'em! P.S. am I
getting garments for Christmas?... 'cause these are no longer
garments... they're grayments. Anyways, love you guys! Have a good week!
Love, Ben.
