Week 21: More Investigators

The tripanionship is no more. Elder Nelson got transferred to the city mid-transfer because Elder Chic finished his mission. We miss him very much.

So now it is just Elder Lan and I. We get along well.

This week we found more new people than the rest of this transfer all combined. One of our investigators is named Bella. I found her in a train station. We had a lesson with her and she brought 2 friends. All of them had Christian background, which is super rare for Chinese people. All of them were engaged in the lesson and seem interested. We will meet with them again this week.

Students from China that come here for University sometimes stay in a home-stay or home-share. We found this home-stay that had 2 less active members. We had a lesson with both of them, and had a lesson with one of their parents too. 

We are also teaching these other 2 investigators who share an apartment. They are from Malaysia. They set up a time with us because they wanted to practice English. We practiced English with them, had a lesson and set up a return appointment with them. 

So things aren't as slow as they were before. We had Zone Conference, which means that we got to see the mission president, hear a bunch of trainings, and see some of the city Elders. We learned a lot from the trainings and talks.

We also did exchanges this week and I got to spend a day with the missionary that trained me, Elder Wang. It felt just like old times when I first got here. 

Today is zone p-day. I think we are going to the chapel, playing board games, and having a potluck. We will go there in a couple hours. 

We got a referral from a member. All she gave us was an address. The person was not keen, but we tracted (knocked the doors on) her street, and the adjacent street. We were about to go home, and I said the next house will be our last house. We knocked the door, and our ward mission leader opened the door. We did not know it was his house. His kids came to the door too. That was super weird, but he was happy to see us and told us some houses we could try next time.

I love you family. Until next week.
