"I love the Lord and I love His work!"

Some tasty pig ear and intestine from our dinner appointment this week

Hello everyone! This week has been another pretty awesome week here in the California, Riverside Mission. Elder Nelson and I were able to find 3 new investigators and also 4 of our investigators were able to attend church! Heavenly Father continues to bless us with Miracles everyday. I am loving the work here!

We spent most of the day on Tuesday out and about doing some good old fashioned Seeking With Faith and trying to find more prepared Chinese people to teach. We also were able to do a home visit with a Chinese family in the Eastvale Ward. I love these people I get to serve. It was an awesome visit!! We also had a home visit this week with another great family, the Li family. And a visit and help from Miao Di Xiong. He helps us so much with the work in Eastvale.

We were able to teach Lucas this week. Lucas was someone that we ran into at Xun and Sara's baby celebration last week. Lucas was born and raised in China but studied in Germany. We taught Lucas about the Restoration and it was a great lesson! He accepted a baptismal date for November 26th, and we are really excited for him! He is a super cool guy. Directly after that lesson, we then went and had another lesson with Mary Kong. Mary has some questions and issues with Priesthood authority and so we are going to do our best to help her learn and feel of the Spirit to resolve that concern. 

English class is a great tool for us. We teach those on Wednesday and Friday evenings. We also were able to do some service again at the Jensen Alvarado Ranch. We also had exchanges with the Jurupa English Elders. I went with Elder Roper and Elder Lowry in their area. We had a good day together. 

This week we also had our multi-zones meeting, with our zone, and 2 others in the CRM. Elder Nelson and I gave a training to everyone on the Importance of Daily Planning, and it went pretty well! I love being a missionary.

Sunday was super super awesome! We had 4 investigators that attended church this past week. Xun and Sara, Diana, and Angela all came to church!!!!! It was so awesome. After church, we had the opportunity to meet with Diana! We taught her more about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and it was an incredible lesson! She gave an amazing closing prayer. That night, we drove to the Archibald's home in Norco, CA, to meet with a Chinese couple that they are friends with! Their names are Joe and Tine, and they are from Shanghai, China. They are super awesome! We taught them the beginnings of the Restoration, and it was a really great lesson! 

This past week has been super awesome! The Lord continues to bless us, and I love it out here. I love the Lord and I love His work! Love you all have a great week!!!!!
