Group EMAIL 9-24 LA!

Alright everyone. This week has been so awesome. So my companions name is Elder Thacker. He is from Logan area and in fact goes home at the end of this transfer, so our area is guaranteed to get whitewashed hahaha. We are currently working on Santa Monica College. I'm still a Chinese missionary which is awesome! It's funny because we go contacting and we just contact asians (if they aren't chinese we obviously keep talking to them and we don't randomly start speaking chinese to asians). It is really cool though. 

We are currently teaching a few people. Three of them have baptismal dates, their names are qianqian, mike, and Tony. Tony has a wife also that we are working on. Mike has problems with word of wisdom. He didn't like it when we first taught it and it took a bit to explain it. Hopefully he follows it, he came to church yesterday though which was awesome. Qianqian loves everything about the gospel and kept the word of wisdom and it's really awesome. 

Well yeah, that's pretty much my week! The field is awesome. I love it out here. I have a challenge for all of you this week. Be member missionaries! Don't be weird about it obviously, but be friends to your neighbors. Be friends to everyone. Minister to everyone. Ministering is so important and I expect all of you to fulfill your ministering assignments. These people are your brothers and sisters. Ministering is so important and through it we can strengthen people's testimonies. Also read the book of mormon everyday and pray everyday. Build your testimonies! Alright, love you all! Have a great week!
