"On Thursday, Elder Crowther and I fasted for a way for Michael to be able to come to church.
His boss is super strict and not willing to let him come. On Sunday morning, he texted us,
and said that he was coming to church. He showed up for Chinese Sacrament Meeting, and came to church. :) FASTING WORKS!!! Super cool little experience."
Elder Crowther and I are working hard and doing our very best. We continue to spend lots and lots of time seeking with faith trying to find those who are ready to hear about Jesus Christ. On Wednesday after English Class we had another lesson with Michael. We reviewed the principles and doctrine surrounding the Restoration so Michael could understand better, but we really focused on prayer and reading the Book of Mormon. It was a really good lesson.
Thursday was so sick. Elder Crowther and I went down to Lake Elsinore, to teach a referral, Evangel, and also Eva Huang, who showed up to Church last Sunday. The missionaries serving in the Lake Elsinore Ward where Eva showed up, thought that she was a less-active member. Come to find out, Eva has not been baptized. We taught both Evangel and Eva about the Restoration and invited them to pray and read from the Book of Mormon. They are both awesome and we are going back down there on Thursday to meet with them. Please pray for them!

Friday was pretty good. We studied and planned, spent lots of time seeking and had another great English class. We were also able to visit a less-active family - the Yu family. On Saturday we had an exchange. I was with Elder Cousineau, an English missionary. Love this guy! We stayed in my area and Elder Crowther left. That morning, we also had our Weekly Blitz. I went out with Elder Olsen, who was my first Zone Leader when I first came into the mission. It was awesome. That afternoon, Elder Cousineau and I taught Fei Chen, an investigator that we found while seeking with faith this past week. We taught him and invited him to come to church, but he ended up not coming.

We had 4 investigators at church, and also 3 others who haven't become investigators yet. Sister Du, Michael, Christine (Brother Xiong's daughter), and Grace Zhao. Seeing more miracles. On Thursday, Elder Crowther and I fasted for a way for Michael to be able to come to church. His boss is super strict and not willing to let him come. On Sunday morning, he texted us, and said that he was coming to church. He showed up for Chinese Sacrament Meeting, and came to church. :) FASTING WORKS!!! Super cool little experience. That afternoon, we got to go to a baptism, for the Zone Leader's investigator, Norma. Elder Crowther and I shared a message about the Restoration and the Spirit was so strong. It was really cool to be a part of. This week has been awesome and it is amazing to see how Heavenly Father works miracles everyday. Love you all have a great week!
