...Continuation From Last Post and A Great Week This Week!

(Continued from last week)

Brother Archuletta also sang the song Glorious, from the movie Meet the Mormons. Excellent performance.

Then Brother Wilcox gave a talk about birthrights. Super interesting, though I do not remember all of it. First he talked about the Jacob/Israel's Birthright, and his sons. The Abrahamic covenant is sometimes hard to understand, but he said it so simply. Basically the youth in this church have a birthright. Since we are given much, we also have increased responsibilities, one of which is sharing the gospel. 

I tried to find the talk on the internet without success, but Brad Wilcox is the man. He has spoken a lot at BYU and his other talks can also be found on the internet. 

This week was great. The best week of this transfer so far. We attended a double baptism (two people being baptized on the same day). Originally, 5 people from our area said they would attend. Then 3 canceled. But one of them that did not cancel, brought three friends. So we met 3 new people, and after the baptism, we had a lesson with one of the new people, and he is super good.

Also, earlier this week, we met with an older man named Jack. His situation is not typical of most Chinese people we teach. He speaks almost no english, he has a son in the US, and he works here. So we taught him about prayer, and families being ordained of God. He accepted everything very well. He really wants to learn more and be baptized.

Today is zone P-day. We will go to a church building, and sister McFadden, a senior missionary, will show us how to make cake. Then we will play some games, maybe Mahjong, and then another missionary will cut my hair. I hope he doesn't mess up.
