How are You?!? Is all well where you are? Keeping a smile I Hope!!!
This week was SO cool!!! We met so many people that are really prepared! The first that comes to my mind is Hanna. She is Indonesian. There were some missionaries (Elder Jolley) that were finding in a park, and when Hanna saw them she felt like she had to talk to them... She waited and watched them to see if they would come talk to her... after a little bit she went up to them, asked what church they were from and wanted to come to church! They got her number and gave it to us. We called her a week later on her Holiday (Wednesday) and she really came!!! From the moment we met her she was so excited to come to church and had a "really reassuring feeling that what (she) (is) doing is right"... Then we went in the Church! Just when I thought people didn’t come more prepared than I already felt she was, she walked into the church and stopped... "it feels so nice in here" as she looked around at the paintings. We went up to the 6th floor (Where all the Philipinas/Indonesians go for church)... take in mind this is at 10 in the morning,... and showed her around. She was so happy and even made friends with a few Philippines! Like they already knew each other! Then we brought her into the chapel... and she started to tear up... and said that it felt so special. She just wanted to stay in there... so! We just sat down in the chapel and talked and taught her about the Restoration. She told us "Elder Jolley gave me a Book of Mormon already, and I know it is true" ... she had been reading it that whole week!!! After we taught her and went to do some other things we came back to find her still in the Chapel. We almost had to drag her out into relief society class,... not really... but luckily the room is an attachment to the chapel. She stayed the whole day until 8 at night. and now we will see her again on Saturday (her next holiday)... SO Amazing!!!
Then the next day (Thursday) we saw Richelle. I met her at worldwide last week and she came back to church with us. She came again this week with 2 friends because she knows that "the Gospel of Jesus Christ can Bless them" ... So Cool! We taught them and then Richelle again. She has her Baptismal date set for August 25 next month (Her Birthday) . She is so ready already (according to her... and us!) We taught her all the commandments (that are in the baptismal interview questions) and she was totally good with all of them! Once again... SO AMAZING!
On Sunday (Yesterday) a member brought her Cousin... a Pilipino!!!! His name is Joewel! He is SO cool... he is a Microbiology teacher! And he has attended different churches all his life "searching for what is right". He felt really good in the church and assured us that he will come back next week!!! Woo Hoo!!!
This week was pretty great! and... the biggest news is yet to have been said...
APRIL was baptized!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had the privilege of helping her be baptized. It was a great day. She bore her testimony to us about repentance and her experience... I’m pretty sure everyone in that room had tears in their eyes... especially her... and including me. It was so nice, and we are SO happy for her! I will have to attach some pictures of it next week.
Anyway it was Great week here in Hong Kong! Especially where I am! It has been rainy all week to protect us from the heat! Such a blessing! I’m having the best time of my life! Everything is so great! Thank You all for your love, constant support, and Prayers. You are in my prayers as well.
Until next week
With love,
Elder Mckay Wright
