It was a pretty great week here. We were able to see a lot of our
investigators with members and more of them are progressing now. We
are now teaching the Tomlins cousin, Kesha, who has a baptism date as
well. We also had dinner with a part member family. Lilly is a member
but her husband John isn't. He is an awesome guy! Even though he isn't
super interested in the gospel, it’s great to be around him. We both
have similar interests. :)
So we helped (tried) An Hua to find internet for his apartment. We
ended up standing in the AT&T store for about 45 mins and then the
Verizon store for about an hour. So crazy to try to translate
haha..... it was comical. Might be more of that this week. It’s fun to
be with Mr. An. Speaking of which, the lesson this week was great, Mr.
An said the closing prayer, so awesome. Mr. An also came to church!
And he presented a great way to do 2 good things. Thianxu has to do 25
hours of service every year and they don't know of anywhere else
except the church that he could do it. So we are going to have him
help with a food drive, help clean the church, and play the piano for
various things during the 3 hour block, Which means.... he has to come
to church! It’s a round about way of getting him there, but it will
work.
Wayne Tomlin came with us to see Mary, Anita and Arlene. It was great,
he is an awesome member with a strong testimony.
I had exchanges this week with our Zone Leaders. I went to their area
which is in south west Philly. Man, is it a different world! First, we
took the wrong bus to get there... and ended up spending around an
hour at the airport..... ya. Then we finally got back and took a
trolly to our first appointment. Everyone they teach is an African,
not African American, but African immigrant. Its sooo hard to
understand what they are saying, but they are pretty solid
investigators. It’s just crazy to me how different it can be less than
10 miles away.
I think that is about all that happened this week. It was a great
week, lots of little miracles and tender mercies.
Thank you for all you do! Love you!
Love,
Elder Parker
