Hello everyone!!! We had a pretty fun week! As you can probably tell from the title, it was a little bit different than our average one haha. Early on in the week we were doing heaps of street contacting and getting heaps of not interested people....and usually we get rejected, but we can have good conversations with people and give them quality invites....not this past week. It was like "Hey how are you" "I know who you are and what you want. I'm not interested". Or "Have you seen guys like us before?" "Too many times. Go away." Hahahah so we were kind of stumped....so we decided to do something foreign to chinese missionaries....that is door knocking haha. And as we went about doing it, I'm not going to lie, my attitude wasn't the best. I've tried it a lot on my mission...especially in the Gold Coast, but nothing ever came out of it. And this time we had knocked for about an hour and not one person answered the door.....not one. I was kind of discouraged but we kept going and the first person that answered was a PHD student from China named 鵬 (peng)...he let us in and to make a long story short, we taught him the Restoration and set up another time with him on Saturday! It was a true miracle! Then when we went back, he had read the Intro to the BoM and we taught a good portion of the plan of Salvation along with answering a lot of questions! We're excited to keep meeting with him and seeing him progress!
Also, another exciting bit was when Serena called us this week and said "hey can I bring an Aussie friend into the office to learn about our church?" We were like 'YEAH"....and when she came in we realized that she brought someone else who she had met in or around the psych ward hahahahah....and, when we met with him, he was totally stoned....so it was pretty funny and he ended up coming to church...but we're going to need him to be not high on Marijuana before we can get to much with him....Horray for member missionary work! Hahha well that was pretty much our week! We are looking forward to a strong week 6 this week! Have a great week everyone!
