Elder Connor R. Duersch(Stan Theman鄧長老) Ministering to Hong Kong 1 by 1! Chapter 83
你好!!!
Good morning! How are we all. This email may be a bit long because it has been a couple of days since I have written. There is a lot I am going to need to remember ha this could be tricky. Apparently it is still winter in Utah? Wow! The weather
is not even close here. It is starting to get to that point again when humidity rises and so does the temperature. Just walking a few steps and you are completely soaked ugh!
I heard that General Conference was super super good and I really look forward to watching it this weekend cause we have to wait for the translation. But we will watch in English but we get to wait for the translation to come in.
We had our interviews with President and Sister Phillips and it was super fun to spend time with them and talk. I always want more time with them to talk. Super blessed to be able to see them every so often.
The ward this week had a cute little talent show for the primary kids and they had such cute little performances! They all sang, danced, or other things. Hearing some of them sing I am a child of God was so powerful! Little children really are
alive in Christ and it was so cool to see that this week from our little primary kids.
We also had an English class activity elder Thomas and I planned. Since it was Easter we did an Easter egg hunt. We got every thing set up with eggs with candy and some that did not. The kids didn't show up on time and I was so sad that they
didn't come. But this was a test of patience for me and then they finally came and it was so cute to see them run after the eggs we hid in the church.
I was able to go on exchanges with an elder in my district named Elder Lagaña and he is super cool! He is from the Philippines. He has such an amazing testimony and scripture knowledge. I went to his area in Tung Chung and in the morning we
decided to take a place to a bus called Tai O. It is a tourist spot way on the other side of the island and it took about an hour to get there. Turns out it is a little village that has lots of dried seafood and lots of tourists. I saw a dried shark skin and
that thing was massive! The exchange was super fun and I was very glad to get to know more about Elder Lagaña.
I also was able to go on another exchange with Elder Finklea. He is also from Utah and we also had a super great time! We talked a lot about our lives back home and what we liked to do. Turns our he loves movies and some of the games I played
back home. So we chatted about that for a good long while throughout the day and had so much fun.
Now as for this part I am not able to disclose lots of information, but I can tell you that we helped a man come closer to Christ yesterday. Sorry that is all I can say haha. I can tell you more about it in person soon.
As a district we are also doing what we call District Call centers. This is where our entire district will get together and we will focus on one area by calling through "formers", returning members and so on. It is a super fun way to build unity
in a district and to get work done effectively and as a team.
Also the reason I am emailing today is because today is temple day. Sorry forgot to mention that.
On the spiritual note for this week, I was learning more about patience this week and what can come from it. I am learning about Patience bring Blessings and so I decided every day to look at a time I was patient and see what the blessing was
that came from it no matter how big or small it was. Patience is a Christ like attribute I am working on and it is so cool to be able to see the path Heavenly Father wants each of us to learn and to grow at our own pace. I promise you that if you ask Heavenly Father on what you can do to improve he will tell you. I know he will.
That about does it for this week! Look forward to talking with you all again.
Have a great week love you all!
Love ya!
Yours in Fellowship and Love,
