week has been awesome!! From zone conference to summer missionary! We've been
seeing some huge miracles!! We have been blessed especially in
finding new investigators this week! On Sunday we met a guy named A ho. He has Buddhist
background and said he is looking for answers. After talking with him for a
short time he was very willing to meet with us again. One thing I feel is a
good strength of our companionship is our finding. We both have been very
focused on finding and working hard in order to find investigators, even with
the loss of time due to Zone preparation. </span></div>

was amazing to have Elder Gong of the 70 come for mission tour! The Wednesday
devotional was a powerful reminder of the sacredness of the Sabbath and all
that that includes. Saturday, even better! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only was it awesome returning to an area I
had previously served, but the messages were definitely inspired! I really like
the focus of most of these types of conferences on the message of the
Restoration. That is one thing that seems to get emphasized again and again. I
also had the great opportunity of sitting next to President Gong at lunch! I
was maybe a little intimidated at first, but it was fun and inspiring talking
with him about his calling and other aspects of the work!</span></div>

we first got the call we were going to have summer missionaries, we thought
there would be two. To be honest I was a little sad, because that meant I
wouldn't get to be with Elder Gillis my last couple weeks. However, then things
switched for the best!! We now will only have one summer missionary, so that
way we get the best of both worlds. On top of that, our summer missionary,
brother Yihp, is a recent convert in Tuen Mun <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>so I already know him really well!! Such a
huge blessing! I honestly couldn't think of a better way to help finish
strong!! I love the gospel!! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Mission Leadership Counsel was
awesome! I really like how we discussed different things and ideas that were
going down in different zones. It helped us prepare for our Zone training even
further. Speaking of Zone training. We actually had some really cool
experiences with that. The week of zone training we decided to scrap one part
of the training. Even though we already had that part all the planned out, it
just didn't feel right. So we decided we needed to start from scratch on that
part. Through prayer and discussion, we put together a new plan. It was
perfect! Zone training started off really well, and then some very sarcastic
remarks were being made. When we got up again after the spiritual thought, we addressed
the issue. We also had some other zone members share as well. It turned out
awesome. A little "fire" in the beginning, but it led all of us to
rethink and evaluate ourselves. After that we moved on into talking about ways
to improve our teaching and then ourselves. Zone training went by very well.
Through reports, we have found out that all of the zone members would agree as
well! The weirdest part for me was when at the end we had time for "words
of wisdom." Words of wisdom is where all the missionaries that are leaving
at the end of that transfer get a couple minutes to share some things they have
learned on their mission. Some back story, back in Tuen Mun, me and Sister
Shoemaker (now Sister training leader) were in the same district. One district
meeting I was assigned to give a spiritual thought and had originally picked
the topic of gratitude. However, after thinking more about it, I felt that I
should change it to a theme of attitude and perspective. So I changed it and
shared about that topic off of the talk "Free Forever to Act for Themselves."
However, at the end of my sharing I didn't really see a big need as to why I
was supposed to change the subject to that one. 8 or so months later in Zone
training meeting (just last week) Sister Shoemaker said in her "words of
wisdom" that that spiritual thought had really helped her change her
perspective about missionary work! I've learned through this experience,
that 1. Just trust in the Spirit and 2. We don't know how many people we
help. It was a cool thing I learned that I never would have expected to
learn at Zone Training. A fun thing we had to help the members of the
zone remember what we all need to do this month is called a "mahfaahn
cup" we put a little flag with a picture from the liahona on top of a cup.
On the cup we have a list of the specific things we all need to do. Everyone
puts the cup on their desks and it is there as a reminder to help us remember

weeks are just going faster and faster! We were able to see some more cool
miracles this week! This past week we haven't had as much finding time,
due to preparing for zone training. We were a little bit worried about not
finding new investigators. However, we believed that if we used our faith, the
Lord would compensate for the loss of time. On Sunday we had some finding and
the Lord led us to 2 new investigators in a short amount of time!! Super
awesome!! It is just another sign to me that the Lord really is in control of
all things. This is His work, not mine. As long as I strive to do it how way, I
cannot fail!</span></div>

and Eric are still progressing really well! It has been good. The main thing
for both of them is finding time to meet. Nick has been going up to mainland a
bunch for work and Eric has been busy with work and family things. However they
were both able to come to church on Sunday! They even showed up 20 minutes
early! Nick was helping us welcome members and the Stake President came and
wasn't sure if he was a member or not because he acted so much like a member!!
It was super awesome!! </span></div>

The weeks just go by faster and faster!! I'm super
excited for temple day today!! an awesome opportunity to be taught in
the House of the Lord!! Super grateful that we in Hong Kong have that
special opportunity to go once a move!! As for the past week, some more
cool stories and miracles! Starting off with Eric, he is continuing to
progress really well!! He has a lot of desire and really enjoys
listening and reading the modern day Prophet talks. It is really cool to
be able to see someone with little to no religious background develop
faith! </div>
<div>
This past week we also had the opportunity to go
on exchanges. Mandarin Elder Sy came with me, over in Sheung Shui! It
was super cool to be with him! Even though he spoke mandarin, I spoke
Cantonese it just made for a great combination! no matter who we ran
into, we could share with them!! Elder Sy is a great elder! He is fairly
new, I think he has been out for approximately 5 months in the field.
His desire to serve and push himself is inspiring! He is really good at
going out of his comfort zone! That night we taught Nick, Eric's younger
brother. The previous lesson we had shared with him we invited him to
read Alma 32. That actually wasn't the original invitation we had
planned, but something that we felt we needed to invite him to do. This
last lesson proved that it was in fact from the Spirit. He was very
touched by that chapter, he had it twice in just 3 or 4 days! Before
that lesson, Nick's resolve wasn't as strong. He was placing other
things as priority over God. However, after reading chapter 32, he said
that it was a good reminder of what he needed to do. the follow up led
to other questions which we directed back to reading in chapter 32
which continued to answer most of his questions. By the end the lesson,
he asked us how he could keep that "seed" of faith growing, not
dormant. We left him with another couple chapters to read. Ether 12 and
2nd Nephi 31! Nick is doing awesome right now! It has been such a
blessing to be working with him!!</div>
<div>
Meeting with A-hou we
wanted to help keep the lesson more focused, so we brought another
member to the lesson, our ward mission leader! it turned out awesome!
Our ward mission leader is actually a recent convert of just about a
year! he will be going to the temple this next month and he has had some
amazing experiences that made it so that he could connect really well
with A-hou. Such an awesome blessing!! The work is going forward! I'm so
grateful for the time I have here in Tolo Harbour!</div>
<div>
Til next week,</div>
<div>
Love, Elder Cederlof</div>

first one I will share about is that on Tuesday we went to Sha Tin district's
meeting. (District Leader-Elder Klein) It was super awesome to be there and see
how his style is. He is a good District Leader. Whenever he has questions he
doesn't hesitate to call. Later that night, we had a lesson with a currently
less active member. His name is Brother Chan. His main concern has to do with
the Word of Wisdom. We shared a lesson and our new ward mission leader, Brother
Ng, helped out a ton! Brother Ng, is a convert himself of 1 year and he has
such a strong testimony. His background also provides him with the perfect
set-up for fellow-shipping.</span></div>

next one has to do with a recent convert's friend named A-hou. He is 23,
longish, pink hair, married, and has 2 daughters with another on the way. At
first glance you might say he was a punk. But I believe deep down his heart is
looking for the gospel. We have been able to meet with him a couple times now
and help him understand more about the gospel. I'm excited to see the change
the gospel brings into his life. </span></div>

last one I wanted to share is about someone we met just yesterday. Her name is
Tracy. She is half black, half Chinese! We were walking through the park and
saw her sitting down, with her skateboard. When we walked by we said hi and
started talking with her. She originally was Christian but for awhile hasn't
been to church. We talked with her about Christ and she does have the desire to
come closer unto Him; she said she feels as though she has drifted away. We
invited her to a church tour and she said she'll even bring some more friends
to come, as well as attend church next week! Such a huge blessing! It really is
true, sometimes, just looking at people you can't tell who is prepared and who
isn't, but God knows. That is why it is so important that we are in tune with
the spirits "channel."<br />
<br />
The zone right now is doing well! We are excited and grateful to be here to
help Tolo Harbour reach its full potential. Some of the challenges throughout
the zone are finding. We are going to keep emphasizing 'faithen your finding'
activity to help people maintain a positive attitude with a lot of energy! One
thing I've noticed that I am very grateful for is I feel that the zone really
trusts us. I feel that we, as a zone are becoming more united. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This past week was super awesome!!
We were able to see a bunch of miracles! Some of our investigators came back
from mainland so we were able to meet! Super awesome! One of them was
Eric.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have actually been teaching him
for a little bit before he went to mainland. Now he has a baptismal date and
committed to go and talk to his wife about getting baptized as well! We are
super excited to be able to work with him! We have also been able to, through a
recent convert; meet a couple of new investigators that also came to church!
Apart from them, we also had another family come to church which we taught
afterwards! Miracle after miracle!! After coming back from MLC on Wednesday we
talked with a lady from England on the MTR. She was actually going back to
England not much later but we were able to give her a pamphlet! Super cool!
Along with her we also met a Philipino lady that said her dad was a bishop but
she herself wasn't a member. As we put in our best effort, the Lord will
definitely bless us, in His own timing!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

My new companion is Elder Gillis! It's been super good being companions with Elder Gillis. We've actually crossed paths a little bit before so we at least knew who each other was before the switch. He is a super solid Elder and is a great Zone Leader. I'm super excited for this opportunity to be able to learn from him and to work together in helping the Tolo Harbour zone!<br />
<br />
<div>
This past week we have had most of our investigators leave to travel. A couple went up to mainland and one to Japan so it was a great way to start the move. We had a couple days of almost all finding. I feel like that is a really effective way to start off the companionship. We got to start out on the right foot, in the sun and learn how each other finds and teaches. Before one investigator went over to Japan we got to meet with him and followed up with him on the plan of salvation!! What an awesome lesson! He remembered so much and it seemed to just really click with him! We invited him to take his Book of Mormon on his trip and continue to read it everyday. We get along really well and Elder Gillis is a really humble open person. We also met with the Sister Training Leaders to talk about the overall situation with the zone and Elder Gillis and Sister Jackson had some really good ideas! This next Zone training we are thinking of sharing and discussing a lot about accountability, acceptance of responsibility, and attitude. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I also want to thank you for your "faithen your finding" paper. Through numbers we have found that a lot of companionships are struggling with maintaining faith in their finding and so we are going to be re-inviting everyone to continue that activity.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I am grateful to be a representative of our Savior, Jesus Christ and serving him in Sheung Shui!</div>

I went with Elder Liew in MOS. It was a super good exchange. Elder Liew is a super solid missionary. He is doing a fantastic job as District Leader. He is super responsive to counsel and has so much energy!! We taught an investigator they have named a-wing. it was a super good lesson on the 2nd half of the Plan of Salvation. She asked some really good questions such as why is it in and only through Jesus Christ's atonement/death, why not just anyone else's death. Those are the types of questions I love to hear! It lead to a good discussion on his life and importance thereof. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Eric also has been improving quite a bit! Just these last 2 or so weeks his desire has grown a ton. He is now reading everyday and praying and comes to church. His family is having some issues which has led him to have such a strong desire. It was awesome! This past week we met him at a area near their home. Originally we scheduled to meet with Eric, but shortly after he came, his wife came over as well. We focused most of our message on families. Talking about how they can strengthen theirs. Through things like family prayer and scripture study they will be able to have a stronger family! They were both willing to start reading and praying together. I also had a specific prompting as we invited them to also invite them to not just pray WITH each other, but to pray FOR each other. This week Eric goes up to Mongolia for a couple weeks so we will be unable to meet with him. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I love having this opportunity to work with the entire zone. One thing I am especially grateful for is the language pass-offs. It is a great opportunity to help each individual missionary in the zone improve their language, teaching skills, and more! The members of this zone are awesome!! I'm excited to see who the new members will be later this week!!</div>

Before he went to mainland we committed him to keep the word of wisdom. Unfortunately, he was not able to keep that committment while in China. Fortunately, it was a good learning experience to show why we need to read the scriptures everyday; to maintain the strength to resist temptation! It has been a little bit of a step back but the most important thing is to learn from the experience. <br /> <br />
Now that we have the Liahona I have been reading and re-reading those talks! One that has stuck out to me ever since first hearing it is the one about learning to listen to the music. It's such a simple example of a powerful principle. No matter what phase we are in life are we dancing only to dance? Does it feel awkward or weird to us, but we continue due to outside pressures? Do we really hear the music? In the talk he asks if we have ever seen someone in another car dancing to music and singing out loud? Doesn't it look strange? Maybe. Flipping the picture, have we ever been in a car singing and dancing, not caring what the outside world thinks? Maybe not all of us, but I sure have! Am I living the Gospel in such a way that no matter what people on the "outside" think, I continue joyfully singing and dancing? I love this talk! It is a great reminder to look at the reason behind the things we do and to look at the sincerity of it as well!<br />

We decided to go knock doors because not many people were out on the street. However, even knocking on doors, we weren't seeing much success. While we were walking out of a tsuen we had just finished in, we ran into a man on the street and started talking with him! He went to school over in the UK so he mostly used English. At first, he didn't seem to have much interest but that doesn't stop us! We shared some points on the restoration and he felt something in his heart and admitted he actually was starting to have some interest! Power of the Restoration!! Another example. A couple days prior to the experience mentioned above, we were walking and saw a father pushing a stroller with a little kid. We went over and talked to him. Again, like the other man, he didn't have much interest and he said he needed to go. I had the distinct feeling to share Joseph Smith's own words. In the short time we had, the spirit was felt and we were then able to exchange numbers. Last example. Last night we met with a man named A Wah. He has no background whatsoever. Sharing the Restoration with him seemed to spark something within. He didn't mention anything particular but I could see it in his eyes. There is definitely a reason that Preach my Gospel teaches to tie things back to the Restoration!<br />

Particularly on the day of Zone Conference. As you know, a little bit of a surprise that morning. (news of grandma Pearson passing) But through that experience I have come to learn and appreciate more about the Plan of Salvation. That has kind of seemed to be the theme of my mission. Although I've had some hard times, I am definitely grateful for the opportunity to strengthen my testimony about the Plan of Salvation.<br />
<br />
<div>
I really enjoyed our Zone Training meeting. From the focus on improving our teaching skills to President and Sister Hawks testimonies of the importance and sacredness of the family. I'm thankful they, along with my parents, are such powerful examples of what an eternal family should be like. This is something I will always remember. I pray that through the things I learn here and continue to learn after my mission I will be able to fulfill that sacred duty.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I am very grateful for the opportunity to go to the temple today. My mom had a wonderful temple experience after my grandmother passed away. I feel that today at the temple I will be able to find even more peace and strengthen my testimony even more.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Just like an example President Hawks shared at the beginning of my mission, when he was young, he learned to enjoy "taking your chainsaw to the mountains and working hard". I have definitely felt that type of change in myself!! I have learned to love the work!! It really is the best 2 years!!!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Just as Thomas S. Monson talks about in "On the Lord's Errand," I want the Lord to know that when He has an errand, Elder Cederlof will be there!</div>

<div>
Dear Mom - </div>
<div>
Most of the stuff I already told you on the phone, but the coolest thing we are seeing now is that even though Elder Smith and I aren't having has much finding time, we are seeing huge miracles on the street everytime we go out! So awesome! Through this I have defniitely learned the valuable lesson that as we put the Lord first, he will fulfill the rest!! So always put the Lord first!! Things really couldn't be better right now. I love the ward, I love the area, I love my companion! It definitely is a great time to be a missionary! </div>
I love you mom! Happy Mother's Day!</div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This past week was crazy! A lot of
big changes!! When I first heard that Elder Smith and I were going to be
companions I was pretty surprised! One thing that I have mentioned before that I
feel is kind of like the "theme" of my mission, is the reality of a
loving Heavenly Father and His Plan of Salvation for me. Because Elder Smith
and I lived together at the beginning of our missions, we have already gotten
to know each other. We can go to work immediately! We can go straight to
the "performing" level, (referring back to the stages of a
companionship) I am very grateful for the opportunity I have with Elder Smith
and the Lord to strengthen Sheung Shui! It is a great and exciting opportunity
to push forward the work! There definitely will be challenges (in the first 4
days we already experienced a lot of "firsts") As we trust in
Heavenly Father's plan for all of us, there will be no room for worries or
doubt. He will take care of us! Very grateful for that promise!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
Tolo Harbor is an amazing place! Through this week's zone training we are
hoping to help everyone in our zone develop more faith. Then, through combining
that faith with learning how to improve finding, bring more people unto Christ.
We all need to be constantly improving our methods and developing more faith.
Faith is definitely the most critical part. I feel that through strong faith we
will be able to improve. Not just in the ways that we personally want to
improve, but in the way God wants us to improve. An interesting thought I have
had is that it is true that we can all change. A reason why the Gospel is so
critical is because it teaches and shows us become what God wants us to become.
Like the last quote on "drawing upon the powers of heaven" paper
talks about. God's plan for us is a lot bigger and better than our plans for
ourselves. But am I humble enough to accept that? That has been a good
pondering question for me which has lead to a stronger testimony of the great
Plan of Salvation! I love the work! I love being here in Tolo Harbour. This is
where the Lord has need of me! <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Love, Elder Cederlof</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041452971980924940.post-55988309553946140162015-04-26T22:38:00.001-06:002015-04-26T22:38:24.611-06:00Like always, the weeks keep going by faster and faster! This past week I had some super cool and enlightening experiences.<br />
<br />This past week we have started working with another part member family! The Yuh family. The dad is a member, the mom is not. They also have a baby on the way! When we met with them we got to know Sister Yuh's background. She in fact has met with the missionaries before but stopped meeting with them because she didn't have enough time. We have faith that now is the proper time for her and her husband to truly become one! Our message and invitation was simple, we invited them to start praying together as a family. An invitation that took me back down "memory lane"! I love being able to share that with them because I know how important doing those things as a family is. I've been super blessed to have parents that have helped me learn and understand the reasons and power behind family prayer, family scripture study, and family home evening. So, in short, it's a treat to be able to share those experiences with families!<br />
<br />Another super cool experience came as we crossed paths with an "old friend." It was actually the first time I've ever met this person, but a couple months ago Elder Tseng and Elder Anderson ran into him. He is pretty against the way the Lord runs his missionary program. He was talking about how we need to spend thousands of dollars to get the nicest of everything, and we needed to be current in the world news and stuff going on. He talked a lot about how if we really want to get as many people as possible, we've got to fit in with the world. From a surface level perspective, his arguments might seem pretty good. Fortunately, with the gift of the Holy Ghost, we can see things at a much deeper level. God has a purpose in all of His things. There is a reason God called a young, uneducated, 14 year old boy to restore His church. There is a reason the Lord calls 18 and 19 year olds to serve missions, not only that, but sometimes not even in their native tongue. There is a reason for all of these things. We shared about the Restoration but he wasn't too interested and we parted ways. Although we weren't able to reschedule or even get his phone number, we showed him how much the Lord truly does love His children; along with that, my testimony was strengthened quite a bit as a result. <br />
<br />Along with that experience came a more clear understanding of the difference the gift of the Holy Ghost brings. Having received that gift when I was 8, I felt that maybe I was overlooking some of the blessings that that brings. I was pondering about it for quite some time when we had the above experience. Later in my studies, after putting the pieces together, I learned for myself some of the blessings of the Holy Ghost that I had overlooked before. The Holy Ghost is there to guide us. Not only will he bring things to our memory, he will expound our memory. Not only will He help us understand concepts, He will teach us so clearly that we can't misunderstand. (borrowing a phrase from Preach my Gospel) To say the least, I'm very grateful for this past week's experiences!<br />
Til next week!<br />

He is reading a lot and has already finished 1 Nephi. We've talked about baptism before with him but we prepared that lesson on the atonement and then shared about baptism ( the way to use that power) He definitely understands the need to be baptized but when we tried to set a date he said it was too fast and that he wanted to go home and ponder/pray about it. <br />
<br />
<div>
Eric and Kawa were out of town this past week and so we weren't able to meet with them but they scheduled for church. Unfortunately S<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1910519352" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">unday</span></span></span> morning they had some things come up and messaged and said they couldn't come. But on the bright side we have them scheduled for this upcoming week! </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
One thing we have really been working on is organization of things we do here and working more with part member families. We are now working with 3 part member families and I know we will see some great success there. Not only bring people to Christ but bring their entire family, a strengthening unit. </div>
<div>

Wai Ki got baptized yesterday!! Super awesome! It was such a great day and opportunity, especially for her family. Her mom shared a spiritual thought at the service and it was awesome!! She talked about the big changes in their family and in all of their lives! I love being able to see the change that the gospel brings not only in my own life but in the lives of the investigators and members!</div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">General Conference was awesome!! So
many different things learned. I really liked the big focus on families
especially on the Saturday sessions! Families are what we are here for! They
play such a critical role in God's Plan of Salvation for each and every one of
us. Giving family priority is so important! Those talks has made me ponder more
about things I can either continue to do, or start doing to more better prepare
myself for that sacred role. I also really enjoyed the talks that were on
"truly being converted." It made me ask myself some good thought
provoking questions such as the reason behind things. Are we doing what we are
doing just because it is 'expected' of us? What is the real motive behind the
work we do? Is it simply so people "think" we are good, trying our
best? I thought back to the example in the scriptures which teaches that if a
man gives a gift grudgingly, it is as if he hasn't given it at all. In
missionary work, if I'm not fully committed, giving my all, it comes down to
the same principle. Although as the "unprofitable servant" (as the
scriptures teach) that I am, I hope that through the goals I have set from
General Conference I will be able to show the Lord more about how much I truly
care for this work! I love the opportunity God has given me to listen to his
Living Prophets on the earth! Recently my testimony and love for Joseph Smith
has grown a lot. I have been trying to learn more about his life and what he
went through, definitely a powerful example and a strong building block in my
own testimony. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
I had the opportunity to hold my first baptismal interview. I interviewed
Sheung Shui sister's investigator. What an awesome opportunity to sit down and
discuss the covenant of baptism. It was a special moment as we discussed about
the meaning of taking upon ourselves Christ's name and discussing the interview
questions. It was an experience I won't forget!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
I am so grateful to be District Leader over here! All the members of the
District are such strong examples. I have learned a lot from this experience.
One of the things that has been emphasized to me over and over is that this
really is God's work. He doesn't require the best Cantonese, or the teaching
skills or anything. He just requires the best that we can give. I'm grateful
for this learning opportunity!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

This last week we met with Eric and Kowa again. We invited the Ng family to help us teach (they were baptized last July). Actually, that day, Kowa couldn't come til the very end, so we mostly just taught Eric. Not having any religious background we knew we would definitely need to be as clear and simple as possible. We shared about the Restoration. He had such good questions and it was awesome to have Brother and Sister Ng there with us cause their testimonies are so strong and they shared about their conversion! Eric was also willing to do the closing prayer!! A couple days later we were then able to meet with Nick. (Eric's younger brother-age 28) We shared the Plan of Salvation with Nick! What an awesome lesson! He said it just made so much more sense than all the other things he has heard. He was asking awesome questions as well! Aside from that he had also read to 1 Nephi chapter 16! He is so willing and wanting to learn and come unto Christ! We invited their whole family (Eric + his wife, Nick, Nick and Eric's mom, Mrs. Jeung) to come to church! We called <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_908132261" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">Saturday</span></span></span> night to make sure and Nick said they were all planning on coming! The next morning after Ward Council, we asked Bro. Ng to meet them at the bus stop so that we could stay at the church and greet members. He left and shortly returned after, without them. He said he had called them and they weren't able to catch the bus so he told them to take a taxi. He told us to continue and he would take care of it and make sure they got there. Such awesome members! They came and sat down with us! Their entire family! When we first invited Nick and Kawa to church they weren't sure if they could come when it started because their 11 month old daughter usually doesn't wake up til 10, but they made it! They stayed all 3 hours and loved it! They participated in gospel principles class and Nick in priesthood, while talking about how the church values family history, brought up that Lehi commanded his sons to go back to Jerusalem to get the records! Such a prepared family! After church they said they would definitely be coming next week for conference!! Such a huge blessing! The Lord really is pushing forward his work! Families are so important! They can help each other learn and grown and stay close to the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Miracles Miracles Miracles!! I've grateful for the opportunity to be here in Sheung Shui finding my family!<br />

We saw some super cool miracles and had some great experiences teaching this past week!! The Lord is definitely always preparing people for us to meet! This past Thursday</span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"> after weekly planning we went out finding. We were planning on turning left at a certain intersection but felt that we should turn right. There usually isn't anyone to the right but we trusted the feeling. Apart from seeing a long green snake with red around it's head, not much happened on that street. However, we then continued around the street and ran into a man named Nick. Nick is late 20's and working in insurance. He doesn't have a lot of christian background but he has gone to church a couple times in the past. He said he had actually recently wanted to start praying because he believes that God will help him find more happiness. We found a place to sit down and talked with him, got to know his desires and hopes. It was a great experience! He was super sincere and genuine in his search for answers. After sharing about the Book of Mormon and an invitation to start reading and praying, we scheduled him for 2 days later and left. On Saturday </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">he showed up with the Book of Mormon in hand ready to learn! He was asking some great questions and had actually already read all contents previous to 1 Nephi 1. He had also done some research at home and he knew that the church was organized in New York and due to persecution, the early members moved. He is so prepared. We shared with him the first lesson, and focused on the Godhead a lot as well. Near the end of the lesson he got a call. He excused himself and talked to them for a minute. When the call was over he said, "that was my older brother and his wife, they're walking around in the area and i just invited them to come over and talk with you!" Absolutely amazing!! That's what the gospel will do to people! Once partaking of the "fruit" the natural consequence is a desire to share it with your family! Everything lined up perfectly. The family arrived just 5 minutes before we were supposed to teach a recent convert with another member, one of the ABL's. The Lord not only brought a family, he brought members to teach as well! We went and met the Recent Convert and Member and told them the situation and they were more than happy to come teach this new family with us! This family doesn't have any religious background so we focused on the Godhead, prayer, and families. The feelings there were incredible. They were so sincere! Could it get any better? Due to the fact that we had just finished teaching Nick the 1st lesson prior to the families arrival, we invited Nick to help us teach some of the doctrines and share some of his personal feelings! As he explained what he felt about prayer, and the Godhead to his older brother and his wife, there was definitely a special spirit there. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Exchanges with Zone Leaders was also super special and strengthened my testimony of the Plan of Salvation even more! Having served in Sha Tin before Tuen Mun I was super excited to return and hopefully contact some of previous investigators I had taught when i was there! I felt prompted to call an investigator I had taught who prior to me leaving the area had dropped us. When I called she was more than happy to schedule for the next day. We had originally planned to share Moroni chapter 7 with her but while we were talking it felt right to go back to the restoration. We shared with her the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She said that recently she has been going through some hard things and has been very confused. Her relationship with God isn't as strong as it was previously. She said that when we called and scheduled her she was very excited to come back. She said there was always a special feeling at our church, she described it as a peaceful feeling. At the end of the lesson when we invited her to read the Book of Mormon and pray she was more than willing! She was also more than willing to start meeting with the missionaries again!! Such a huge miracle!! The Lord definitely knows each one of us, His children. His plan is perfect!!</span><br />

We were reading through Preach my Gospel and trying to find some ways to change up our finding. Normally when finding, we start conversations by saying hello or how are you. Reading through Preach my Gospel, made me think, hey instead of starting with the things that most salesman start with, let's go straight into testimony! At first it felt a little weird to not necessarily even start with a "hello" but literally go straight into testimony and teaching. But I do feel that it has brought a difference. There is a difference in the people we talk to but also in myself. I find it more refreshing. For example, normally trying to stop 10 people, you then get the opportunity to share testimony with 5 of them. The others walk away before getting the opportunity. However, when the first things we share with them is our testimony, we then get the opportunity to share with 10/10 people. It has personally given me even more energy, cause as we all know, sharing our testimony brings energy!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
It has been an awesome opportunity to be district leader over here! Our district is really developing strong unity! One thing that I believe has made a big difference is that we are praying for each other and our investigators! At district meeting we write a list on the board of the investigators that we will all be praying for that week! </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
My testimony and gratitude have continued to grow, especially towards the Plan of Salvation and the knowledge that God truly does have a plan for me. Outside of just being one big plan for all of mankind, it is also a plan, specifically for me. I have found evidences of that truth all around me. I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but it is a discovery I made within the last couple weeks upon pondering this subject of God's plan for me. In the first couple moves of my mission I remember saying that I wanted to have the opportunity to be a part of opening up a new area/ward. I also wanted to be up as close to mainland as possible. While pondering over my mission experience, that memory was brought back to me; a humbling moment. God is the creator of this great and marvelous plan for me!</div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Spiritual patterns set us up for a
life of success. One thing I've really been thinking about is how much my
mission will direct my future and the course in life. I already knew and
believed that how we live our mission is how we live our lives, but I wanted to
break it down even more. How does each individual day, each choice, in all aspects
of missionary work, affect our futures? In my studies, I found a greater
understanding and appreciation for the Plan of Salvation. This knowledge has
brought me an even deeper trust and hope that God really does have a plan for
me. His plan is personalized to every single one of us. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
This past week was a great example of this. We were on the streets quite a bit
and found one investigator. We were looking for miracles but they just didn't
seem to come. Then out of nowhere the sisters gave us a number for a young man;
we called and scheduled him for the next day. Then while we were doing daily
planning the Mandarin Elders came in and said that they had a family to turn
over to us! A lot of times I feel like I look too much into expecting miracles
coming directly from our searching. For example, finding "golden"
investigators on the street, or walking down a street and having the feeling to
knock on the "red door" that leads to a full family. But a lot of
times, miracles don't come that way. As we commit to this work, be obedient, do
what we can; the Lord will do the rest. With this past week, it was through
other people that the Lord showed us His hand. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I am so grateful to be companions
with Elder Tseng. A little more background on him, he is from Philadelphia!! he
has been out in the mission for 4 months so I’m step training again! It’s super
fun! His parents are Chinese but they speak English so elder Tseng didn't know
any Cantonese before coming! He is awesome! I am continuing to grow closer and
closer with Sheung Shui ward as well! I feel that the atmosphere of this ward
and my personality really click. One thing I am really trying to focus on this
move with Elder Tseng is to help him progress as fast as possible. As
companions I feel that we are both helping each other learn and grow. It's
interesting because at first it seems as though our personalities are super
different but they are actually pretty similar in a lot of different aspects. I
feel that our weaknesses and strengths are opposite of each other. For example,
if one area is my weakness, that same area is one of Elder Tseng's strengths.
It's super cool because that way we can improve more and more. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
I have been pondering more and more about obedience and I asked myself those
questions asked at zone conference. I feel that I have been trying to be
exactly obedient but I need to step it up even more. I'm really trying to make
sure I do all that I can so that our companionship, ward, district, zone, stake
and mission can continue to grow. It's definitely tough sometime with all the
different challenges faced but as for me, learning and pondering more about the
Plan of Salvation has really been the key. Elder Dube talked about it very well
in his conference talk in October 2013. The past is to be learned from. We need
to take the embers from the past but not the ashes! Look forward and Be
Believing!<br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This week has definitely been an
interesting one, to say the least. It was hard for me to leave Castle Peak Bay
Ward. They really are just like family to me. Leaving Tsuen Wan and Sha Tin
were also very hard, and after having gotten to know several of the Sheung Shui
members already, I know that they will also become family to me! What I have
learned is that leaving an area isn't an end. I still have a good relationship
with all the members of previous areas that I’ve served in, but now I have the
opportunity to meet even more people. I like meeting new people and making new
friends so I am excited and grateful to be here. A goal I have set is to learn
all of the members names as fast as possible. Knowing their names is really
important and it definitely helps in building a good strong relationship. I got
a good opportunity to meet with the bishop and ward mission leader this week on
Sunday. The members here are also awesome! Lot's of families! It is fun to see
the different feelings you get in each ward. Sheung Shui has a very funny,
vibrant feeling to it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

huge miracles. On the street we had a lot of time to talk to people about
their culture and learn about Chinese New Year’s. The biggest miracle was
that Tyler (hsk ward) finally got baptized! Elder Black and I found him
back when we were serving in Tuen Mun. Fortunately, living with the Hsk
elders, we could continuously get updates on how he was doing! Throughout
all the problems and trials he has had to go through in order to be
baptized he has finally made it! He put his trust in the Lord's promise as
contained in 1 Nephi 3, and received the answers he needed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
The next big miracle is with Kelvin. He has committed to quit smoking! It's
definitely going to be a challenge for him but he can do it! We set a plan
with him a couple weeks ago, but he still has been struggling, so we went
over with him what worked and what didn't and we came to realize very
quickly that when he actually did what the Lord, through us, invited him to
do-read the scriptures/pray when he had the feeling to smoke- he didn't
smoke. However, he didn't do that every time, therefore hasn't quit
smoking. We talked about the reasons behind the things we were sharing and
he committed to pray and/or read when he feels like he needs to smoke. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

A-yung was confirmed this past Sunday! So awesome! The correlation
throughout the leaders is impressive! Before, she and Nicole were confirmed;
they already had home and visiting teachers! Bro. Tsang is playing a huge
role in pushing this work forward! So grateful for him! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
The past week's "deep clean" definitely brought an inviting
spirit! It seriously was a good feeling to clean the entire apartment from
the ceiling down. When thinking back about the things I've learned about
cleanliness and the fact that the home can be as sacred as the temple, but
it needs to be as CLEAN as the temple as well. I've set some goals for my
home now, as well as future home, to be able to maintain that level of
cleanliness in order to have my home feel as sacred as the temple. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
Tung Family, the family that came to the church by themselves, seemed to
have vanished. We called and texted them to no response, until Sunday! Bro.
Tung texted us back and said he had some medical issues so he won't be able
to meet for a couple weeks. Not being able to meet for a couple weeks is
the bad news, but the good news is that they still have strong desire to
learn more about these things! It is all in God's hands. His timing is
perfect!<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
