June 26, 2011 - 4 Converts to the Temple & Rudi

Hello family.

Sisi I don't know what that means. You had what talk with Sarah?
I also did not know of the sunday tradition of eating smores.

Yeah so last week our district gained two new missionaries.

Something pretty cool happened this week. Last month not a single one of our recent converts went to the temple. But this month, we got four of them to go and do baptisms for the dead. So it was really sweet. They all loved it. Hopefully it will help them all endure to the end.

Pops, the plan of salvation is : æ•‘æŠč¨ˆåŠƒ or jiu4 en1 ji4 hua4

Not a lot has happened this week, but last night there was an earthquake. And it was raining really hard for a couple hours.

My companion is a really hard worker and I want to be as diligent as he is. He is on the phone calling investigators or members until 10:30 when we have to go to bed. really li hai.

Thats really cool that Geoff is in the MTC. He should have a good time in there. The mtc feels like a long time...

The investigator that lives in the other elders area is super solid and is having his interview tomorrow. We helped him find a job and so he is going to try and stay at his current apartment. His name is He2 di xiong.

We also have another investigator who's name is Rudi. Rudi has been an investigator for over a year. He may or may not be ready but he is going to have his interview sometime this week.

Everyone here claims to be Buddhist, but then you ask them certain questions and basically nobody actually believes in it. They just do it because their parents did it and they don't want to break tradition. They don't even know what Buddhist believe. They just go to the temple every month or so and bow down before the idols.

Anyway. Thats all I have for today. Not much to report on. I have a goal to be able to write 500 characters from memory by the end of next month so hopefully that works out
