Well the first week of being in Chino is in the books. Let me try to remember if anything crazy happened. I'm still in a YSA ward so we get to whip around in a gray Corolla. Still thinking of a name for her. On Thursday we met with our family ward's Bishop and we compiled a list of some part member families to try and teach. One of them had been working with the previous elders for a while so we're hoping to continue working with him and see him baptized soon hopefully. Other than that we weren't left with much. On Saturday the Chinese elders than we live with had a baptism. The person getting baptized is Chinese but they actually go to our family ward so it was a baptism for us as well, kinda haha. The ward has a goal of 7 baptisms this year and they just hit number four so we're looking to come in clutch. The other day we got a phone call from a contact in our phone named "Tony 'Thailand Chef'". Turns out this old Asian guy gives...
This week was pretty good down here in Southern California. On Saturday we met up with Amanda. We found Amanda last week when Elder Talbot and I were on exchanges. While we were having our first lesson with her I feel like I got a slight glimpse of how God sees us. Amanda has a lot of tattoos and told us she considers herself a tom boy. She looks and acts the part giving us a few short stories from her spotty past. But what's amazing is that none of that matters. When I looked at her I was simply glad that she was sitting there talking to us, recognizing that she needed a slight course correction. She was open and she was sharing the light that she had with us, as limited as it was, she treasured it. And we sit there so glad that she is at least willing to try to gain more light. And there we are with a message that will change her life forever. It won't be easy, it isn't easy for any of us, but it will be worth that and we know that. I think that is how God sees ...
Well the biggest news is that I got to talk to the fam on Christmas which was awesome and it felt good to see their faces and hear their voices again. A couple different things happened this week. 1) We saw Santa get shot down. I'll send a couple of pictures and a video but we were driving to our dinner apointment when Elder Nordgren takes a look out the window and he's all like, "Holy Crap something just blew up in the sky, that's crazy!" So I pull the truck (more like half of it) off the road and hop out to take a look. We couldn't decide if we were seeing the beginning of World War Three, saw Santa get shot down or it was the beginning of the Second Coming. Well because we're missionaries we had absolutely no way of looking up what happened so when we went to dinner we asked them what happened. Apparently it was just a satellite rocket from the Space X program or something like that. Not even close to as cool as what we hyped up in our heads. 2)...
