Elder Connor R. Duersch(Stan Theman鄧長老) Ministering to Hong Kong 1 by 1! Chapter 81
你好!!!
Hello everyone! How are we all? So first I think I might have screwed up the Chapters a bit so I believe we are actually on chapter 81. I think that is right if not some one point it out and I
will fix it for next week! There is so much rain happening this week we are so soaked ha! I had to say goodbye to some members and friends in Tin Shui Wai and it was sad but I was grateful to be with them and to serve them.
So this week is full of lots of things that ha e happened and more new things to come, so let's just jump right in and start swimming!
Mongolian BBQ:
For Pday we went with some Elders to a Mongolian BBQ where you can make as much stir fry and pizza yourself and they will cook it for you! I have been before with another group so it was fun to
go with this group of elders to eat. Elder Sagal a is super funny! He told lots of stories and Elder Allen was there as well with more stories. There are so many amazing elders out here in the mission it is just crazy!
Elder Robinson also wanted to get protein as well cause he likes to work out so we spent like 2 hours trying to find this workout shop and it turns out it was like right next to the BBQ place
the whole time. Ugh face palm! But ya it was a super fun Pday!
Good Bye Cross roads:
This week was my last week at crossroads and I was super sad to leave all the friends I have made and the service we got to do for this community. We wen to electrical and I was able to say goodbye
to my friends Paul and Mongai. They are amazing! We had to help lift mini hotel fridges up to a vacant room so they could be later transferred to a hospital so they could put medicine in them. We moved about 61 fridges! We were also in a trio for the day with
Elder Holt because of some zone leader business. I will miss that place. Super fun and great time there!
Tsing Yi:
Right so this week was also transfers and I am now on the yellow line of the MTR map. I live on the tung chung line in a house that was a branch meeting house for the church. It is actually a
house house! The room is so big! I was shocked when I walked in! I live with elder Lagania and elder Finklea they are in my district. There is also some weights in the apartment so I guess now I got to get pumped - ha.
Elder Thomas is my new companion and he is from Hurricane, Utah. Almost all of my Companions are from Utah so that is pretty cool! He came with me the same time to Hong Kong so I know him a little
already. We don't actually li e in our area to proselyte so we have to take a bus and a train to our area and it is like 45 minutes ha. The area is an island and I am very glad to see ocean again! We also have lots of industrial area as well. Also a nice park
and a pier. There are still tall buildings though so can't really escape that ha. I am excited to see how things go this transfer and how being a district leader is.
Another Miracle of Prayer:
On the spiritual side of my email we had another miracle this week of prayers being answered. We have 2 people we are teaching named Jacky and Gung jai. They are both good friends. They haven't
been able to come to church for a while and so we called up members and asked if they could pray that our friends could come. Elder Thomas and I prayed really hard and when Sunday came church started and they weren't there. So we called them and they were
both on their way. Such an amazing blessing!
I know that god hears and answers our prayers. It is in his timing and his own will when and how we get the required results.
Love you all and I can't wait to talk to y'all next week and tell you more about my adventures serving the lord. A sneak peek for this week is we aren't aloud to go street contacting this week
to get new ways to find people! Should be super fun! Tell ya all how it goes next week.
Love ya!
Yours in Fellowship and Love,
