Hello everyone!
Very quickly,
The people in this new area are great, so many new people to get to know and meet!
Apparently in this district, finding new investigators are a big challenge, especially in Tseun Wan where more of the rich part of Hong Kong people live, if I heard it right.
But we are striving our best to apply the direction of our mission president to find families to teach through less-active members, part family members, and other member and investigator referrals. And in my personal study I have just finished reading up to Alma 9, And has learned that he also had difficulties finding people to teach, and returned with a different approach: he met the member, Amulek, and spent some days with this member for a while and with him found more people to teach. I know that it will be a challenge but it is possible.
We already were able to meet and teach our investigators Yuen Ying and Gaga's mother Keih Keih, it was a miracle and tender mercy from the Lord because it was led by the Spirit so powerfully, with the help of Vina as well. We are now allowed to keep visiting her and teach her, and also to help her feel more comfortable and understanding about why Yuen Ying and Gaga wants to be baptized so much.
We are also visiting Tseun Wan people and getting to know them and strengthening them with the Gospel. Tseun Wan ward's Ward Correlator, Brother Lee, used to be the Stake President and he is the most incredible correlator I have ever worked with! it was so helpful to meet with him and discuss about Tseun Wan's needs! There are much to get done here, and we are progressing and moving this work forward one step at a time. I am so excited to see the arms of God to unfold in this area as well!! I am so honored and grateful to be here. The Lord has already been helping me so so much! He is so full of Grace and Mercy!
Loves to you all, hope you are all coming one step closer to our God every moment.
