Week 6 of the transfer here we go. Gotta make it
count!
There's been this huge thing about Pokemon Go
recently. The great part is, parks are some sort of hub for the game (goes
to show how much I know about the app). How convenient, because we do a
lot of finding at parks, talking to everyone and sharing about our free English
class. So it's been great being able to go from talking about Pikachu, to
our English class, to Jesus.
We ended up doing taichi with one of our
investigators. We were waiting at a park with another member that wanted
to participate, then our 70-year old teacher walks up in full taichi garb - all
white. He looked very professional. There were some other families
at the park, and as he was doing a demonstration to teach us, one of the little
boys (probably five years old) started to do it along with him. Suffice
it to say, I feel very balanced now. We did another session with our old
taichi friends at a park on exchanges too, so I got my exercise in for the
week.
Our zone conferences were this past week. It was a
wonderful experience. I had to give my outgoing testimony which was hard
because my heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest. I can't
believe how the time has flown this past two years.
My official 24-month mark, I got to go on exchanges back to
my old La Sierra Heights area. It was bittersweet driving through and
seeing my old stomping grounds. We visited some recent converts.
One seems like he's grown a foot! It's really sad to see how family
situations prevent people from being able to get out of their situations.
It's really not fair on him and his siblings that his parents' choices hinder
their ability to progress.
We had our Chinese sacrament meeting on Sunday which was
another great experience, being able to see the growth in the group since day
one.
We confirmed one of our recent converts in a different ward
on Sunday. He got baptized a few weeks ago, but his host family went to
the beach for a couple weeks, so we got it done. Elder Warren did his
first Chinese confirmation. It was awesome.
