Hello
family!! Thanks Ryder, Ruby, and Danielle (twice) for the letters this week!
This week went by a lot faster than last week!
We started teaching this awesome investigator named Yi Meng Li.
She's visiting from Beijing and her cousin who she's staying with is really
good friends with our stake president. He has invited his friend, Xing Fu, to
church many times and the missionaries have visited her son a lot! She came to
the stake conference broadcast and we went by this past week to teach her.
She's receptive, but has a very scientific why of thinking. She wants to know
every little detail and the "why" behind everything. She said she
would be baptized if she knew this was true. She had heard that we weren't
allowed to drink coke, so she hid all of her coke in the fridge before we got
there! After she found out that that wasn't true, she ran into the kitchen to
drink some coke! haha
We found out Joanna literally lives one street outside of our
mission boundaries into the Rancho Cucamonga mission, which just got Chinese
missionaries a month or two ago.......... We talked to President Mullen and he
will talk to the mission president over there because they're kids come to
school in Eastvale, they've made friend with the
members here, they're planning on moving to eastvale, and the "Chinese
group" (with 0 members) that they are trying to start up in Rancho is
about a 40 minute drive away from them... so we'll see what happens. Hopefully
we get to teach them still!
President Mullen came with us to go visit some people on Saturday night! It was
interesting because he doesn't know any Chinese! So when I was talking, or our
investigators were talking, Elder Dyer would translate for him. And when Elder
Dyer was talking, I would translate! But it went really well! I don't know if
you remember Tony Ding, but we dropped by his house with President, and
apparently he has been going to the Mormon Battalion place in San Diego every
other week and meeting with the missionaries there! We taught about the
restoration of the gospel, and he knew everything! It was insane. He can't come
to church this week, but he will be bringing his family the following week!
Hopefully he is ready to progress this time around! I'm so excited!
I love you all and miss you like crazy! If you are still stuck
in the cold and snow, just remember that it's about 90 degrees and sunny here
right now ;)
Lots of love,
Elder Warren
