Sept 15, 2014 Good Week!

Dear family and friends,

This week was good! We picked up our missionary. So now it's Elder Lee, Elder Sherman and Elder Kendell!

This week was really short for us because of all the driving that we have done. We confirmed Daisy this week! It went well and she bore her powerful testimony right after. 

We are enjoying the missionary work now. Bring you  more news later!

Sep 8, 2014 Baptism!

Dear family and friends,

This week was awesome! 

Our investigator Daisy Liu got baptized. The story began last year when the missionaries knocked and her mom answered. Her English wasn't good enough to understand so she asked her son Edison to answer. He got baptized on Sept 7th of last year. At the time, Daisy was not interested in the gospel and occasionally sit in the lessons. The missionaries discontinued teaching her and we finally picked her up again about 6 weeks ago. Her desire changed. She has developed great love for the Book of Mormon and her heart has changed. There were so many challenges that we overcame together. She was finally baptized yesterday, exactly a year after the baptism of Edison. 

It was just a really spiritual day at church yesterday especially because it was fast and testimony meeting. President and Sister Clayton came (an 8 hour drive round trip) to see the baptism. Everything went well and we are just so touched for the love that Heavenly Father has shown for her.

So that was the week. We expect a little drop in exciting news for a moment and we will work harder for the rest of the transfer. One of the reasons being WE ARE TRAINING!!!! We will receive a new Mandarin speaking Caucasian elder later today. So we are going to help him to have a good 0.67th transfer.

Daisy's baptism

Sep 3, 2014 Good week! Excited for the next.‏

Dear family and friends,

This week was awesome. My new companion Elder Sherman is a very good missionary and I have learned lots from him. We are performing well and loving Windsor.

Our investigators are doing well in their spiritual progression. Daisy is getting baptized next week! We are so excited for her. Seems like Heavenly Father has helped us along the way to solve every problem that she had. 

We watched a movie last night with Daisy and 6 of our other investigators. At the end of the movie, Daisy bore her testimony and it was very spiritual for everyone that was there. They promised to go to her baptismal service and they are going to feel the Spirit even more there I am sure.

Everything is going well. Our only concern is that we will loose one of our best investigators soon...

because she'll become a member!

Love,

Elder Lee

Aug 25, 2015 Transfers!

Dear family and friends,

I am staying in Windsor! My companion Elder Howell is leaving. It is kinda sad but I am excited for the change. My new companion will be Elder Sherman. We've served around each other before.

This week we did really well and we achieved standards again. Our investigators are making big steps towards baptism. We are excited for the coming of the two baptisms. 

This week is transfers so we don't have much time to write. I'll bring you more news next week.

Love,

Elder Lee

Aug 19, 2014 Standards!

Dear family and friends,

How is everyone?

This week was awesome for us! We achieved the Standards of Excellence! Something that I have not achieved for a while and never has happened in Windsor Chinese! We are super excited.

Daisy is our "prime" investigator. I'm not sure if I have told you about her but she is the sister of a recent convert. She is very willing to accept baptism and we have became good friends this transfer.

The other investigator is Topaz. She is a student from Beijing and we taught her English and the gospel. She came to church yesterday and liked it. We hope that as school finishes she will have more time to read and pray and meet with us.

So we are having enjoying the work and are having fun.

Aug 12, 2014 Good Week!

Dear family and friends,

This week went well! We have been teaching a lot. One of the exciting thing is that we got a GPS! We have always thought that Windsor was a place with not a lot of Chinese people. However, once we put in the names and addresses of the Chinese people here we found out that we have been surrounded by them. We are working a lot more effectively now. 

We have been teaching Topaz. She is from Beijing and she is preparing to take IELTS this coming week. We are teaching her the missionary lessons as well as helping her learn English. I feel like Ammon in the scriptures: converting by service. We have became friends through the service that we gave.

We have 2 people getting ready to get baptised on the 7th of September. Let's pray that they will be prepared for the big day.

Love,

Elder Lee

Scouting out for investigators...

August 5, 2014 Good Week!

Dear family and friends,

This week was really good! We are teaching an investigator, Daisy, and she is awesome! She is an older sister of a member here and she is progressing well towards baptism. Hopefully, she will be baptized in less than two weeks.

So we are finding quite a bit of new solid people lately and we are excited to work with them.

Nothing too exciting besides that. I will try to keep you updated on everything.

Love,

Elder Lee
