Family and Friends,
CRAZY ANOTHER WEEK HAS COME AND GONE HERE IN HONG KONG. I'VE HAD A NEW COMPANION FOR A WEEK ALREADY AND TIME HAS JUST FLOWN BY. WE ARE DOING GREAT. THE WORK IS GREAT. WE STARTED OUT WITH NO INVESTIGATORS, NOTHING AT ALL. BUT OVER THE PAST WEEK WE'VE SEEN SO MANY MIRACLES. DAILY, IT REALLY IS SUCH A BLESSING. ONE NAME, PANDA. HE'S A STUD. GOLDEN FORSURE. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM GROW AND LEARN IN THE GOSPEL. WE WENT FROM 0 TO 10, ALL IN 5 DAYS. SO AMAZING. THE PEOPLE ARE READY AND SO AM I. THE AREA IS AMAZING, SO DIFFERENT FROM YUEN LONG. I'M IN THE CITY NOW, SO WE NEVER SEE THE SAME FACE TWICE, SO WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE ARE GIVING EVERYONE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THIS AMAZING MESSAGE WE HAVE TO SHARE. IT'S HARD WORK TO GET EVERYONE, BUT I LOVE IT. SO THANKFUL I CAN BE THE ONE SHARING THIS MESSAGE.
SO THESE ARE SOME THOUGHTS I'VE HAD AND WANTED TO SHARE (PART OF A LESSON I GAVE ) "RELATING PIONEERS TO TODAY" HAHA MY CANTONESE WAS AWFUL IN THIS LESSON, I WAS JUST MAKING WORDS UP HALF WAY THROUGH...
SOME MAY FEEL THAT THEIR LIVES ARE OF RELATIVE EASE AND CONVENIENCE, THEY LACK THE VIGOR AND FORTITUDE OF THOSE WHO SURVIVED THE PIONEER DAYS. THEY FEEL THAT THEY CAN NEVER MEASURE UP TO THE TOIL, STRUGGLES AND CHALLENGES OUR PIONEER ANCESTORS FACED AND EMERGE THE VICTOR. YET, OUR CHALLENGES ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THOSE OF THE PAST. OUR TESTING IS AS CRUCIAL, OUR CONTRIBUTIONS MAY BE AS GREAT, AN ESSENTIAL QUALITY OF THE FIRST PIONEERS WAS OPTIMISM. AN ABILITY TO SEE NEW POSSIBLITLIES IN A STRANGE AND UNSETTLING ENVIRONMENT. tO BEAUTIFY THE DESERT, THEY NEEDED FAITH IN GOD BUT THEY ALSO NEEDED FAITH IN THEMSELVES AND IN THEIR ABILITY TO HELP SHAPE THE WORLD. THE NEED FOR THAT FAITH HAS NOT DIMINSHED. A PIONEER IS NOT NECESSARILY A WOMAN WHO MAKES HER OWN SOAP, OR A MAN WHO GRUBS SAGEBRUSH FROM THE LAND. PIONEERS ARE THOSE WHO TAKE UP THEIR BURDENS AND WALK TOWARD THE FUTURE. WITH BISION AND WITH COURAGE THEY MAKE THE DESERT BLOSSOM AND THEY PRESS ON TOWARD NEW FRONTIERS. THE LORD EMPHASIZED THAT THESE PIONEERS HAD TRIALS AND CHALLENGES EVERY STEP OF THE WAY AND HE ALSO EMPASHIZED THAT THOSE CHALLENGES AND TRIALS WILL INCREASE EACH AND EVERY DAY. AS WE FACE THOSE TRIALS WE NEED TO STAND FIRM WITH UNSHAKEABLE FAITH THAT HE IS GIVING US THOSE TRIALS AND CHALLENGES TO GROW AND LEARN TO DEVELOP OUR TESTIMONY EVEN STRONGER THAN IT ALREADY IS TO BE THE MISSIONARY, LEADER, MOM, DAD, BROTHER , SISTER, FRIEND , THAT HE WANTS US TO BE. HE GIVES US ALL INDIVIDUAL CHALLENGES SO THAT WE CAN SHARE THEM WITH OTHERS THAT ARE IN SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES, TO HELP THEM GET THROUGH THOSE HARD TIMES. HE LOVES YOU AND YOU CAME DOWN ON EARTH TO BE TESTED, YOU CAME DOWN ON EARTH TO PASS THIS TEST WITH STRONGER FAITH AND COURAGE THAN ANY ONE ELSE. YOU CAME TO SHOW HIM THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO DO ANYTHING AND ACCOMPLISH ANY TASK THAT HE GIVES YOU. HE LOVES YOU AND WANTS THE BEST FOR YOU. I LOVE YOU AND I KNOW THAT EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU CAN DO IT, THAT YOU CAN DO ANYTHING, ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE BEST IN EVERYTHING AND LOVE EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING. IF YOU STAY POSITVE 24-7 THAN HE WILL BLESS YOU SO MUCH. HE WILL GIVE YOU THE ANSWERS YOUR ARE LOOKING FOR. LIKE PIONEERS, WE ARE ALSO GOING THROUGH THE PATHS AND ROCKY MOUNTAINS OF THE WORLD. WE ARE ALSO HAVING HARDSHIPS, DEATHS AND DISEASES. THIS WORLD IS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE EACH AND EVERY DAY. NEVER STOP PRAYING. NEVER STOP DEVELOPING YOUR TESTIMONY. ALWAYS ACHIEVE TO DO YOUR BEST SO YOU CAN LOOK BACK ON YOUR LIFE LIKE THE PIONEERS AND SAY, YOU GAVE IT YOUR BEST. LIVE LIFE WITH OUT REGRETS. WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES BUT HTROUGH THIS GOSPEL THE BIGGEST MISTAKE CAN AND WILL BE FORGIVEN. HE PROMISES YOU THAT. HE LOVES YOU.
KWUN TONG IS AMAZING I LOVE IT. HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF THIS PAST WEEK, WE HAD THE OPPORUTINTY TO PAINT A MEMBERS NEW APARTMENT FROM THAILAND, THEN THATS MY COMPANION AND I ON OCT 1, A HUGE FIREWORK SHOW AND HOLIDAY HERE IN HONG KONG, THE OTHER PICTURES ARE ME WITH MY BEST BUDDIES FROM THE WARD AND AROUND THE PARK.
MIRACLES WILL NEVER CEASE TO STOP HAPPENING AS LONG AS YOU (YES YOU ) ARE LOOKING FOR THEM.
LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH. I PRAY CONSTANTLY FOR ALL OF YOU. MISS ALL OF YOU.
SAMUEL 16:7
IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH CONFERENCE THIS WEEK IT'S DELAYED A WEEK HERE BECAUSE, I DONT KNOW WHY ACTUALLY. HAHA I WAS RAGING LAST WEEK THAT I DIDN'T GET TO SEE IT. PRAY THAT I UNDERSTAND SOMETHING HAHA. THE LANGUAGE IS SLOWLY COMING MORE AND MORE. MY COMPANION AND I JUST GET OWNED ALL THE TIME. WE ARE BOTH IN THE SAME AREA OF LEARNING, SO WE CAN TALK AND COMMUNICATE, BUT WHEN THEY RESPOND OR ASK US SOMETHING HAHA ALL WE CAN DO IS SMILE AND TESTIFY HAHA. IT WORKS THERES ONE LANGAUGE THAT WE CAN ALL SPEAK WHERE EVER WE ARE IN THE WORLD NO MATTER WHAT LANGUAGE WE SPEAK AND THATS THE LANGAUGE OF THE SPIRIT AND I'M SO THANKFUL FOR THAT. WHAT A BLESSING.
LOVE
ELDER WRIGHT
