This week has
been pretty awesome! In the pictures there is one that
shows what we do when there is a ton of rain (it has been raining for
quite a while but now it’s been good the last couple days). Another one is of
two priests that came finding with us named Sparkle and A Jeung. Another one is
with Elder Smith and his old companion before he left and Elder Smith joined
our companionship. I don't remember the other ones but they're probably
pretty cool. Oh - the one in the elevator. Every time I get into the
elevator I remember that you guys want me to send pictures so that's
why I, from now on, will probably always have one in there! ha-ha.
Oh and on one of the other ones is a card that Adi made me for Christmas!! She
is pretty shy, but after church she said wait and gave me a card and a little
present! Then Ellorie her friend (as well as her fellowshiper) also gave
us presents! They are awesome!! We taught them this past week. We wanted to
talk about the nativity scene and so last p-day we looked everywhere for a
nativity and we couldn't find a good one (we only found one for 300hk) and so
we decided to build it. Oh that is one of the other pictures! It looks
really lame but it was awesome nonetheless and we totally surprised them! We
had it set to the side and then we told them to close their eyes and we set it
up and read the story and introduced all the characters and stuff. It was super
fun and also super spiritual because it brought us all back to Christ and how
we, like the wise men and shepherds, need to share His message. They were given
the opportunity to see Christ and we are given the opportunity to be part of
His Church, to have part of his image in us. That is why it is so important
that we share this message with the world.
Edmund came to
church with us and the whole time he had a smile on his face. I believe
he has found exactly what his soul has been looking for for quite some time
now. I called a potential on Saturday and
invited him to church and he came and loved it. The members were great. They
came and sat by him and Edmund and showed them around and introduced
themselves, it was awesome! Afterwards
me and a member taught Edmund and Elder Smith and Elder Hartwig taught Tsang
SS. They both had the feeling to invite him to be baptized and set a date so
they did and he accepted! This week has truly been a miracle!! It has been
amazing! I've seen so many blessings this Christmas season and my
companionship and I definitely cannot take any credit for it. It has been every
missionary in Tsuen Wan for the past long time; the members praying, my family
praying, random people praying for the missionaries, but most importantly God,
Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. My trainer Tong Jeung Louh told me that
when someone gets baptized you look back and realize that you weren't the one
doing the work. Now no one yet has been baptized but I can already tell
that that is definitely true. These people are so ready that even though they
may not understand our message they feel the Holy Ghost. Edmund told me that
while he was praying about the Book of Mormon he had a feeling of relief come
over him. It's truly amazing what the gospel can do for people. I love this
gospel and I love this work!!
Stay Sweet,
Elder Zach Cederlof
