The perks of working with Chinese people are the potential
for some good Chinese food. One of our investigators, David, invited us
and he made Zha Jiang Mian [noodles with ground pork and soybean paste sauce].
It reminded me of Taiwan – SO delicious. He gave us the sauce so we could
make our own for lunches in the week.
One of our investigators is pretty much ready for baptism he
just doesn't want to live the commandments. He lives them now but doesn't
want to be "restricted" in the future. He asked us why we had
to tell him about the commandments because then he could just live in ignorance
- happy. We told him he gets blessings for obeying each
commandment!
English class is really fun. The people love talking
to us. On Friday, one guy walked 2 hours to get here because he didn't
have a ride. A part of that is I'm editing a LOT of graduate school
application essays. It’s fun. I will edit while Elder Heaton reads
scriptures with them. Mutually beneficial!
Whenever we walk on the streets and try to hand out English
class cards, everyone says they already have one or have seen our flyers.
We need to find a new way to access the people! We've saturated this method of
advertising. It's like we're selling stuff... for free... So if anyone
has ideas, let me know!
Sometimes it's nice to not have to do midterms this time of
year. Everyone we're working with is stressing like crazy about them -
one of the perks of being a missionary is NO MIDTERMS. But we have to
work with that when everyone cancels because they have midterms.
Everything's pretty good. I'm freezing at night
sometimes because it drops below 60 degrees! The other day some guy showed a
sign of a C and I thought hey California. Apparently “C” means “Crips” down
here! Fun stuff! Not very many "Hail Satans” this week! More "HEY
IT'S THE MISSIONARIES!!!" which is a lot nicer!
