This week, well this week has been crazy. Despite I got one of those "dreaded calls from the mission president about a family emergency" we just had a plain productive week, just like one of the best we've had since i've been here.
18 lessons, 213 contacts, 7 hours of service for 4 acts, and 1 new investigator.
It was a great week. We have made great strides in the ways of investigators and less actives.
Some of the highlights this week: We got our old investigator for our branch barbecue on Saturday, and have once again established connection with him. One of the branch members asked: Are you a member? His response. "Nope, not yet." His name is Sho Hoshino (which is a japanese name, but he's chinese I promise) and he's from Shanghai, he's early to late 20's, and a really nice guy.
Another stride was with a Less active member of another ward, her name is Annie Tseng, she's from Gaoxiong, Taiwan, and she invited us over for dinner with her family (her husband isn't a member) so really super cool. Finally our LA finding efforts are paying off!
Another great moment was with an investigator that's chinese that is in the Menlo Park ward... these elders have been trying to teach this woman for about 8 weeks now without any progress at all, Elder Anderson went and taught her. The Ward mission leader in the lesson said "you made more progress in 10 minutes that we have in the past 6 weeks. Goes to show we are called to teach in our language, and it's really frustrating when elders aren't willing to hand over their Chinese investigators over a number... Good thing Menlo Park reached out to us.
Helena is doing very well, still progressing, at her own pace. She really is doing well, and we're helping her work towards baptism. She is about 5-6 weeks away from going to China for a month, so we're really working closely with her. We hope she is baptized before she leaves.
Those were the good moments of this week. Wish me luck with the next week, and get well soon Dad!
Love
Elder Sanchez
