Dear family and friends,
This week has been a great week. There wasn't a whole lot of huge changes. But here's how it goes!
Tuesday we had a good DTM about chapter 10 of Preach My Gospel. That's teaching skills. It was a good time. There's a lot to cover. We had a good English proselyting and had a lot of success. A lot of people just want to learn English!
Wednesday was slow, but fun as well. We sat with a cool computer repair guy. He's a former that is just way too busy. But he loves when we come over. He's fluent in English too. I feel right at home at his work because there's computer stuff all over the place. It reminds me of dad's work. That night at English class I had a ton of new people come to my beginner class. I talked about family home evening for my spiritual share. All the moms were just nodding their heads saying everything is a good idea. And all the kids were groaning. Sorry kids!
Thursday we had such a great day. We got ice with Kang Zhe Wei. He was going to help us peike, but then they didn't come, so we ate and sat with him. He's so great. He loves all the church has to offer. Then we went to the Lin family's house. It was so great! They all love us. We tried to watch the restoration video with them, but they don't have a DVD player. So we dove into the scriptures. I love them so much. And they keep giving us so much candy from different countries. It's super funny. We're really excited to meet with them tomorrow and watch the restoration. They're slowly moving along!
Friday we had weekly planning. Then after that, it was a really slow day. But we decided to get McDonald's for dinner and had a blast entertaining this kid in the play area. We were sitting on the bar seats in front of the window of the play area and there was this little 3-4 year old. He would come up and look at us. Then he'd duck and hide. After a few times, we decided to duck as well to surprise him. After 20 times or so (kids never get tired!), we left. The parents loved it and we were able to talk to them for a bit as well.
Saturday was a rough day of lessons falling through. But I got to interview the other Elders' investigator to be baptized and he's super ready. Then that night James called us and apologized for not coming earlier. Then he immediately came over and we were able to meet with him. He's also a little hard to get moving. But he's willing and we're happy with that.
Sunday was super stressful in the morning trying to get a bike to this kid's house so he could ride to church with us. We ended up being 10 minutes late to Sacrament meeting. The ward is doing great though. And last night we had a sweet 1st time sit down with a guy that really wants to help his parents and brother. He's really sincere. I loved that lesson.
And that was my week. Just those miracles that happen each day. I'm excited for this coming week. ZTM, president interviews, a baptism, families, the whole kit and kaboodle! I love you all! Time flies as 4 months from tomorrow I'll be flying home. Time flies when you're having fun. And time has never flown so fast in my life...
Love, Elder Anthony Kai Buckwalter
