Happy Easter (Week 19)



Hello Everyone,

This week went by really fast to say the least! Happy Easter to everyone!!!! or late Easter ha ha! Elder Shortland and I had a very busy and tiring week. We have been trying to find more people to teach. We have just been traveling around the city and talking to lots of people.  We were able to set up appointments for this week, so we will see how those go! This past Saturday we went to an Easter party that President Parker hosted. We had dinner (aka lots of Chinese dumplings and rice) and we watched bible videos, Meet the Mormons and we played table tennis. It was a really great party and lots of people attended! I found out there is a movie theater in the basement of our teaching center so that was really cool to see!

 On Sunday was the Easter service and it was really nice to hear recent converts give talks. It's so awesome to see the progress they have made in their life because of the gospel of Jesus Christ! Francis was also confirmed a member of the church and received the Holy Ghost this Sunday! I spoke with him after and he is so excited, he told me that he was saving up money from work so that he can go and serve a mission as well! He is awesome!

We took Francis and Hao our recent converts and Kit an investigator out to lunch in China town. We  had some hot pot which is always super good and yummy! Hot pot is a spicy dish made of  beef, fish, muscles, and vegetables . We have been going to China town a lot to eat.

Elder Shortland and I are looking forward to the new week! Sorry for the late email, but they had a public holiday here Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday and the Libraries were closed! I hope you all have a great week and I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!
