Week 52 - 1 Year

Well actually I hit my 1 year mark,  but it's crazy to think that a year ago I walked onto a plane went over to Provo and started learning a language in which i didn't know know how to say hello when I got there, and now I've been in Hong Kong for 10 months and teaching people Jesus Christ's restored Gospel in Cantonese!!! It's freaking crazy!!!

But no one actually cares about that stuff so now to what happened this week. On Tuesday night we got a call from the Assistants about a turnover. He was a friends of one of their RC's and had been going to their ward for a couple of weeks and lives in our area, and was apparently super excited to hear there was a chapel closer to where he lives. And it turns out he is from South America but doesn't know a lick of Spanish and grew up speaking Chinese. So it was interesting to hear him speak some Chinese. but yeah he couldn't go to church yesterday but he seems super interested in the gospel!! (I only met him once. He dropped of the face of the earth after that.)

On Friday we also had the opportunity to go to the temple!!! It was so good, and it's always great to just get away from the world for a couple of hours. Sadly Elder Egen woke up sick, so he and elder Jensen couldn't make it.

Then there is 1 less active we always meet with on Saturday morning right before kids English class, and we have started teaching her 10 year old son, and guess what he's gonna get baptized on June 4th!!! Super excited for him. He has wanted to go to church and get baptized, but his mom has had some bad feeling against some members but she seems ready to finally overcome that fear, so we are super excited for our buddy Jason!

Also Saturday we had a Stake baptism and 4 people were baptized, and a family which is really rare here in Hong Kong!!! The other NTK companionship was supposed to have a investigator baptized Saturday but Friday night he said his parents want to go to church before he gets baptized, he already has super strong faith, so hopefully this is actually a blessing that we can meet his parents. (Statelord never got baptized sadly)

And to cap off the week I had a really "Dylan" moment I was unlocking the door to the church for a lesson, and what happens next??? The key breaks in the lock. I panic and call Elder Jensen and he's like we gonna need a lock smith and a new lock because we can't get the broken part of the key out. Then I just start picking at the lock, and after a couple of minutes somehow I get the broken key out of the lock, so I saved the church some $$$ because of my guilt, but we did have to teach a lesson like in the rain under a small covered area, but it all worked out!! (Still that punk Ray)

That was my week. Today we are getting together with some friends back in the new Ts and going to the Bruce Lee Museum!

Love ya all and shout out to my cousin Brandon for getting married love ya bro!!
