Elder Connor R. Duersch(Stan Theman鄧長老) Ministering to Hong Kong 1 by 1! Chapter 77

你好!!!

Hello everyone! Sorry for the late email. It is because of something new that has happened across the world for all missionaries as you know. I would like to say what a blessing this is for the families and the missionaries! We get to have an opportunity to share our stories, check up on family, and grow spiritual together in this great work on the earth today!

I have yet to decide if I will keep doing the video of me talking about the week now that I can actually do it through Skype and calls! I will think more about it. If you have a opinion for what you would like let me know.

This week was super good for us!

Einar:

We received a text last week from an unknown number from a young man that he had interest in learning about the gospel. It shocked us so bad because this has never happened to us before on our missions and it was a person in our area. He asked if he could get a book of Mormon in English and Cantonese! We asked if we could meet that day as well and he said yes! He is an amazing young man and when we invited him to read the first chapter he told us he would read the whole book! Absolutely amazing and he is still reading, praying and having amazing spiritual experiences. He is a true blessing to us in this work and the gospel is really changing his life!

Giant Crates:

So we also did crossroads (X-Roads) this week and we had to help the incoming department and giant trucks came in with huge crates on them. I felt like I was in jurassic Park! Ya it was super funny! It was just full of couches and tables so we got to unload those all day super funny!

Interviews:

There was also interviews this week and it was so amazing. I love having President interviews. I won't say to much in what happened but I can say it was super good!

Elder Long:

Ya we also celibrated Elder Longs birthday today and it was so much fun to do that in the apartment.

Talk:

So I was also getting a little bit sick this week and I also had to give a talk. I gave a talk on how Heavenly Father has goals and how we have a plan to accomplish it. And the goal of us as Memebers is to make covenants and to help others keep them. I did pretty well even though I was sick and I still did good. I still am sick so if I failed typing things I am sorry.

But as an invitation to you all I invite you all to keep your covenants, make the next ones, and help those who are needing help to keep theirs and gain the next ones.

Love you all and have a great week! I know the church is true and christ lives!
