Dear Friends and Family,
I have a pretty sweet story to tell. It's simple but it's actually a postive Misionary story.
A family in our ward invited a long lost less active to come to church. We ourselves had no record of the man because he moved at one point and a phone number was changed, thus a lost sheep. But the family in our ward (the Au family who fed us steak the other night) invited this less active man to come to church. Well, he came. He also brought his wife and two kids! The wife is not a member. His two kids are only 2 years old and 8 months old. He is a very nice guy. The sister missionaries will teach his wife.
This upcoming week is Thanksgiving! We have a lot of activities this week. I'm pretty excited to celebreate. We have 5 solid investigators now. We have:
1) Uncle Fighter. He likes to invite us to yam chah a lot. It is not an ideal setting to teach. It is always noisy at yam chah. He has come to church a couple times now. He thinks church is boring. He is a funny guy, though. He is 50ish and he just loves to talk.
2) Rose. She is 50 something and she has a lot of knowledge about Christianity. She likes listening to a lot of different preachers. She has heard from a few preachers that our Church is a cult and evil church. But she still meets with us, so she must not think so. She is hard to get to come out to church. She's a very nice lady.
3) A-Fung. He is 19 and he works. He has come to church 5 times now. He says he comes to feel the Spirit. He has some great potential.
4) Henry (Hin-jai). He is 11 years old. He is in a good position to join the church because he lives with his Grandma who is a less active member but just recently started coming back. His aunt is also a member. His parents seem okay if he joins the church, so that's good. Usually parents freak out about their kids joining this church. I think it is tithing that makes them freak out. People in Hong Kong are very concerned about money. There are some pretty hefty bills to pay here if you have kids. Apartments are outrageously expensive. Anyway.
5) Aaron. Aaron investigated before. Elder Woodburn and I found him. He is a great kid, he really likes us. But he dropped off for some reason. Not totally sure why. But now he's back. We will see how things turn out.
Love you all.
Love, Elder Phillips
