Hello All,
First of all HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!! Yet another holiday away from home so
that is fun.
I am glad to report that there was no blood and gore this week.
haha
Well I'll just get started. The 14th was Elder Merrell's birthday. He
turned 21. It was great because it was a Tuesday the Tai Wai sisters made
him a cake that we were all able to eat, so that was great! Then one of his
investigators came and gave him a little cake. That was really cute. Then in the
evening we went to a place called cafe coral. That was really good food. We
don't eat at nice places very often because we are very poor, but it was for a
good cause so we decided to do it haha. Then in the evening elder Chapman and I
went and bought a cake on our way home. So when they were done praying after
their daily planning we grabbed the cake out of the fridge and placed it on the
table so when he opened his eyes it was just sitting there on the table. That
was a lot of fun.
Then this Saturday we went and did some service with some ward members
for a place that takes care of mentally disabled people. We ended up going out
to Yun long and doing some gardening. Which means that they all stayed in the
shade while the volunteers did lots of weeding. Which was fun because I was able
to learn the word for caterpillar. But it was less fun because I got a lot of
bug bites and ants in my gloves which bit me the whole time. And it was very
hot. So that was hard haha. But I realize that the sooner we were done the
sooner we could get back on the air conditioned bus. So I just went supper hard
and got it done quickly. Then after that we went to Chun wan and ate really nice
food. We helped them eat and then after that they told us that we could choose
something to eat so long as it was less than $60. Which is a lot of money
because we usually spend $23 on meals. So that was amazing!!! Good times. It was
also a really great way to get to know some of the members that went with us. I
don't think that I have any pictures but I will see if I can get some sent to
me.
Then this last Sunday we got to see Norton get baptized. He goes to the Ma on Shan ward but he comes to our English class so we all know him. He is
really funny and it was great to see him baptized we are all so happy for him.
It was really funny because the Investigator we took to the baptism, asked E.
Chapman "how can you play soccer? you are so fat!" haha Chinese people are very
blunt.
This week they also split the zones to fit with the stakes. So that
caused a lot of stress but all is well. I get to work with a new zone leader so I
am really looking forward to that.
That is it for this week. I hope you all had a happy fathers day!!!
Love,
Elder Walker
