Christmas on a mission is a little different. It
hasn't really hit me that Santa's coming in 3 more days. That might have
something to do with the lack of snow in Southern California though!
Elder Heaton had really really good Chinese. Teaching
without him was a larger challenge for me this past week. It's funny,
I've adopted a lot of his teaching styles though, and my Chinese is improving a
lot.
Two of our best investigators returned to China this past
week, J. and E. I told them to stay strong, keep reading the Book of
Mormon and praying. E. said she'll be baptized in two years after my
mission and J. will too, I'm pretty sure. He said we planted a really
good seed!
On Sunday, there was a special program at church for
Christmas. One of our investigators started filming the program which
apparently you're not allowed to do at church. It's just interesting to
see their reactions to many of the normal stuff we do at church, like
singing. It's fun how they join in and sing hymns with us!
Asides from that, [it has been a] pretty regular week.
My new companion is Elder Schoonmaker from Portland, Oregon. He's been
out for 18 months, so I'm still really “young” compared to him!
Merry Christmas to everyone! Just remember the true meaning
of Christmas, the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ!

Transferring to University of California Riverside?
What a coincidence!
With investigator friends before they left to return to China
Yay California!
