Week #26 好多奇迹 - Lots of Miracles!


 你们好啊,

This week flew by! We did a lot of tracking and made some new friends. We also had a cool experience with our new friends Lucy Lu. She showed up to church for the first time on Sunday but we didn't know how to keep contact with her because she just moved here from China and does not have a phone number. Later in the day we felt we should visit our friend sister Guo. When we went to her house Lucy was at the door! She lives in the same house as sister Guo! Now we have Lucy and her family who we will be meeting with us and I know it is a miracle that we felt inspired to visit sister guo. I am still trying to improve my Chinese but 中文很难 (chinese is hard)。

Scripture of the Week: Alma 36:27
27 And I have been supported under trials and troubles of every kind, yea, and in all manner of afflictions; yea, God has adelivered me from prison, and from bonds, and from death; yea, and I do put my trust in him, and he will still bdeliver me.
再见，
李长老

Week #83 - The Wrong Li but the right Li

Image
This week was great. On Wednesday we had to take our car into the shop because someone broke the mirror while we were at a members house. This put us back on bikes. The only problem is that we had a lesson planned across the other side of some hills. The fastest way to the lesson was to cut through canyon up through the mountain bike trails, so that is exactly what we did. Keep in mind we are riding street bikes with no shocks. I am not going to lie, it was a fun time. What made it even more entertaining was all the mountain bikers flying past us on their 3,000 dollar electric mountain bike hybrids. They were all so confused why there were two missionaries up in the mountains on bikes. By the time we got to the lesson we were sweaty, exhausted and covered in dirt and 45 minutes late, but we taught the lesson and it went well. On Saturday while on an exchange with Elder Thompson, we found a cool young couple who j...

Week #69 - A Not So Silent Night

Image
Sorry I haven't written an email for the past couple weeks. I will try to cover what happened these past couple weeks in this one.  About three weeks ago we decided to hike Mount Baldy. It is the highest point of our mission and was a fun hike. It was about 12 miles all around but the elevation gain was killer. The downside was that the next two days I was about as mobile as Tiny Tim due to some unexpected leg soreness. This last week was transfers. I am still in the same zone but my companion Elder Kemp got moved out to Rancho Cucamonga. My New comp is Elder Allen.  One funny story from this last week is that while we were making dinner at the apartment, we got a call from some English sister missionaries that a Chinese family pulled up to their ward Christmas party. We booked it over to the church building and went and taught the Chinese family. The Lady we taught really liked the message we shared and the musical performances at the ward party. She liked the musical perform...

Week #77 - Chinese New Year

Image
This past week flew by. We went on three exchanges so I was not in my area for a lot of the week. We were able to find some cool prepared people. I find it crazy that there are always people prepared to hear the gospel put into our path. On Tuesday I tracted into a rich Chinese guy who sells sports memorabilia for a living. He shut us down at our initial approach to share the gospel with him but I could see through the front door he had a signed Kobe jersey in his front entrance so I asked if it was authentic. That's when he invited us in and we got a little tour of all his cool collections. I think the coolest was the signed Kobe, Ronaldo, and Messi uniforms. We were able to share a short message with him and invite him to church but he didn't confirm anything.  On Saturday was Chinese New Year. This year is the year of the Dragon. All the missionaries in the Dawnhaven Chinese Ward have been practicing 2 performances for the new years party. We did Tai Chi (which is basically ...
