Dear family and friends,

We had another good week!

On Tuesday, we went a local college to go do some finding. We felt the inspiration to go. When we got there we only got a few numbers and just a few Chinese students live there. We left but on the bus ride home, we met a Chinese man who is studying ESL at the college. He came up to say hi to me! Saying that we have met the week before in the Chinese supermarket all the way across London. I took that as the reason we felt inspired to go there that day. His name is Quinn, he and his wife Luna have been looking for a church. They have came to ESL a few times now and have bonded with some members. It is great! Please pray for them!

This week at church I have gain some new insight about faith. I figured that humility is the prerequisite to faith. We have to recognize the limited knowledge of ourselves before we can hope for true things "not understood" Alma 32:21. 

I testify that we do get revelation from church attendance!

Everything is going well. 

Love,

Elder Lee

May 11, 2015 Happy Mother's Day!

Dear family and friends,

This week was so good! 

Monday was the last day in Cantonese work! We had a good lesson with Jenny and Aris.

Tuesday was transfer day! Bye-bye Markham and hello London!

Wednesday was a crazy day for street contacting! People are so nice! We set up appointments for the whole week... It was great! We were so busy all the time this week!

Since Elder Blanscett and I don't have a car... We are left on the buses. We got two bikes and has been biking around! We got pretty tanned and one of the bikes was adjusted for a 14 year old so it was tiring to ride. Our ward mission leader came to fix it and I'm so excited to go biking around this week. I have to be careful with the pants thought because this week I broke three pairs of them, two broke just from biking...

The wards are great! I am excited to work with them this transfer!

Transferring to London!

Hey family and friends,

This past week really was amazing. Best week of the transfer for sure. 

I got news that I will get transferred to London to do Chinese work. It seems like that I will have lots of fun there. This transfer is crazy and a lot of people got moved around. Many leaders have now took a step back to let newer missionaries serve. So next transfer I will not be serving as an assigned leader anymore. I think that this move was really inspired and that president is expecting me to build up London tons. 

I am going to leave Elder Lee and go serve with a rather new missionary, Elder Blanscett. It's gonna be fun!

Sad to leave "home" though. I've spent so much time in the Markham Ward.

Skills and Interviews with president. It was awesome to talk to him. He loves us. He gave me tips that I will probably have a change in assignment soon. We taught a guy named Ray and read the BoM with him.

W

Taught a girl named Karen. She is a friend of Aldus Wong(currently serving in HK). That same night we went to the Wong's for dinner.

Th

Weekly Planing! Then we taught a guy named Henry and at the end he didn't really want to open up to Mormonism(the Truth)... Dropped!

F

Exchanges with a good friend and leader Elder Whitney. He is going home in a week! We taught Amy who I found more than a year ago and she wants to learn again. Taught Joyce at a members house. 

Sa

Planted trees in the morning, my arms were kinda allergic to the plants. They're OK now. Had all you can eat sushi for lunch. Taught Jenny who has a strong desire to strengthen her testimony in God. She promised to feed us Monday night.

Su

Stake Conference Broadcast of the North America NE area with Elder Hales and Elder Andersen. Got to see many old member friends. Visited an old investigator Mandy who hasn't changed a bit. Invited her to come to church. Scheduled an appointment with a family supposedly with 6 children. Awesome!

That's my week!

Dear family and friends,

This week has been really good! We are working together in unity. We have been able to see success in the area. 

I don't really have any interesting stories this week but last week I forgot to tell you one. We were on exchanges and my temporary comp Elder Gunnell and I scheduled an appointment with a York university student named Brian. He is a less-active protestant and I was excited to teach him. We met at the library and it took us a while of walking around to find a spot. Anyway, we sat down and did the Preach My Gospel style getting to know you and ask what he wanted to learn from us. We did that and we wre about a couple seconds away from saying the opening prayer and we heard a voice, rudely, asking us if we were students. We said "no but we are with this guy and he is a student". He said "Oh, so you are lying?" He walked out saying he was gonna find security. Brian followed, we think he was too scared to get in trouble with anything. We followed and just explained the situation. At the end it turned out to be OK but we think the guy was just an offended janitor of the library that doesn't like religion. Brian left. That's my testimony that Satan knows what we're doing and tries to stop us. Amen.

We are going to the Museum today! I am excited and I am sure that I will bring you pictures this time. I probably have more stories to tell you. We'll see if I remember.

Love,

Elder Lee

Dear family and friends,

This week has been good. We went downtown last week and we visited China town. We brought some cheap stuff there and it was pretty fun.

The work is going alright. Things are slowly unfolding. We only have one investigator progressing currently so we are expecting more as we work harder. 

For today's preparation day we went to Scarborough to visit with the rest of the district members. We played some sports and then ate all you can eat sushi. We ate quite a bit.

What's going on with you guys?

Dear family and friends,

How are you guys?

I enjoyed this week. I especially enjoyed conference and helping our investigators watch it as well. 

I particularly liked Elder Holland's talk about grace. It really helped me to recognize the part I am playing in the eternal quest of others. 

We are going downtown later today so I'm gonna have to make this email short. 

Love,

Elder Lee
