Well we had a good week. A highlight
of my week was we scheduled an appointment with a guy named Cameron, pretty
young guy. When it was time for the appointment we were parked outside his
house talking about what we were going to say in the appointment and we saw him
come walking down the street. So we got out to say hi, and I don’t know what
happened but he screamed and just started running away faster than I have ever
seen anybody run before. ... We never
saw Cameron again. When we got back into the car I couldn’t help but laugh.
Our Chinese friends are all doing
well – Emma, Neil, Bob, and Penny. All of them except Penny have a baptismal
date for November. Emma is getting baptized this week and everything is looking
great for her. She is all ready to go and she is so excited!!! She is a star.
We had a good lesson with her and Neil. We were teaching them at the University
with a couple of YSA – Alice and Meg. Then one of the workers for the Uni came
up and asked who we were and then was rather rude and told us to get out. I was
really embarrassed because I didn’t know what Emma and Neil would think but
then I looked at Neil and we was starring daggers at this lady. He looked ready
to kill her hahaha. Everything was OK though. We just left and went to a little
cafe.
We are seeing Emma, Neil, Bob and Penny
tonight at some member’s house for some food and then we are going to watch Finding Faith in Christ. It’s going to
be a good time.
Yesterday was Stake Conference. Elder
Charles and Elder Dyches from the Seventy came and spoke. Afterwards Elder
Doudou and I were speaking with Elder Charles and we asked him to come teach
with us. He was stoked and said for sure but then he had to cancel later
on that day. But President Jordan was there as well so he came teaching with us. We taught all of the Chinese together ... which
never happens. It was a crowded room with us, all of them, and President
Jordan.
Well the Church is true! I have felt
the love of God so much this week through the Holy Ghost. What a blessing it is
to have the Holy Ghost as a gift ... a member of the Godhead ... crazy.
Cheerio,
Elder
Purdy
