MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM CHINA! HAHA WE DON'T CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS HERE, SO INSTEAD WE JUST HAVE MARIAh CAREY CHRISTMAS TUNES BLASTING IN OUR APARTMENT... ALL DAY HAHA THATS THE ONLY ENGLISH CHRISTMAS MUSIC THEY HAD. HAHA WOOHOO. IT'S BEEN A GREAT START OF A GREAT NEW YEAR. THIS WEEK WE HAVE HAD TWO BAPTISMS, VINCENT AND MARY, BOTH OF THEM ARE SO PREPARED AND HAVE THE STRONGEST TESTIMONIES. LAST SUNDAY WAS THE BEST DAY OF MY MISSION. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW STRONG THE HOLY GHOST WAS THAT DA,Y BUT I CAN TELL YOU WITHOUT DOUBT, MY HEART AND EVERYONE FELT THE SPIRIT THAT DAY. NOT ONE PERSON LEFT THAT ROOM DOUBTING THAT THIS WAS THE TRUE CHURCH. THE HOLY GHOST PENETRATED EVERYONES HEART THAT DAY, DEEPENING THEIR TESTIMONIES AND LOVE FOR CHRIST AND WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR US. BOTH VINCENT AND MARY COME FROM SUCH DIFFERENT BACK GROUNDS. BOTH BORN IN MAINLAND CHINA IN COMPLETEY DIFFERENT AREAS. BOTH HAD TO LEARN SEVERAL LANGUAGES AND HAD THEIR OWN LIFE CHALLENGES SO DIFFERENT. THEY ARE ONLY SIMILAR IN ONE WAY AND THAT IS THAT THEY KNOW THIS CHURCH IS TRUE AND HEAVNLY FATHER LOVES THEM AND KNOWS THEM INDIVIDUALLY. THATS ALL IT TAKES TO MAKE ENEMIES IN BEST FRIENDS. THE SPIRIT CAN AND DOES WORK MIRACLES EVERYDAY. WE HAVE MET A LOT OF NEW FRIENDS THIS WEEK THAT HAVE A LOT OF POTENTIAL AND I'M SO EXCITED TO HELP THEM ALONG THE WAY AND PRAY THAT THE HOLY GHOST WILL TOUCH THEIR HEARTS AS HE HAS ALL OF US IN THE PAST. TODAY I WENT TO THE TEMPLE, BUT ITS WAS ONE OF THE MOST EXTRADORNIARY EXPERIENCES I'VE HAD AT THE TEMPLE. I'LL TELL YOU WHY HAHA, USUALLY I JUST KNOW IM GOING AND GO FOR THE RIDE AND TO FEEL THE COMFORT OF WHICH I DO WHEN I ENTER THE LORDS HOUSE, BUT TODAY I WENT FOR A REASON, I HAD QUESTIONS TO ASK, I FASTED THAT I COULD FIND ANSWERS. TODAY, I WENT TO THANK HIM FOR LETTING ME SERVE HIM AT THIS TIME, TO BE ABLE TO HELP IN HIS WORK, THIS IS'NT MY TWO YEARS, ITS HIS AND I'M SO THANKFUL HE HAS GIVEN ME THIS OPPORTUNITY, TO FIND OUT HOW I CAN DEVELOP MY TESTIMONY DAILY AND HOW CAN I BETTER MY LIFE TO HELP THE PEOPLE HERE. I LOVE THESE PEOPLE SO DANG MUCH. I NEVER WANT TO LEAVE THEM. HONG KONG IS SO SPECIAL AND THE PEOPLE ARE SO READY FOR THE GOSPEL! IT'S BEEN TRUELY THE BIGGEST BLESSING TO BE ABLE TO SERVE HERE. I KNOW THAT WITH FAITH AND OBEDIENCE YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING IN LIFE. WITH TRUE DESIRES AND WILLINGNESS TO SERVE EVERYONE THAT H.F. WILL BLESS YOU. SO I'LL TELL YOU A COOL STORY THAT HAPPENED BEFORE I HAVE TO GO. SO I JUST GOT DONE BAPTIZING VINCENT AND THE WATER WAS FREAKIN FREEZING HHAH, BUT IT WENT AMAZING AND NEXT WAS MARY, SHE WAS BEYOND NERVOUS AND SHE STARTED WALKING DOWN THE STAIRS AND JUST FROZE, SHUT HER EYES AND STARTED TEARING UP A LITTLE. SO I GRABBED HER HAND AND PULLED HER DOWN INTO THE WATER. CALMED HER DOWN AND SHE LOOKS AT ME IN THE EYES AND SAYS " ELDER WRIGHT, MY HEART WAS SO COLD, I WASN'T SURE IF I COULD DO THIS, IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY FOR 40 YEARS NOW AND ITS FINNALY HERE, AND THEN REALLY FAST SHE LOOKS AT ME AND SAYS MY HEART AND MY BODY JUST GOT SO WARM AND THAT ELDER WRIGHT IS THE SPIRIT, HEAVENLY FATHER IS HERE WITH ME TODAY AND I AM TAKING THIS STEP SO THAT I CAN HAVE AN ETERNAL FAMILY SO THAT I CAN RETURN TO HIS PRESENCE AGAIN AND ELDER WRIGHT ONE YEAR FROM NOW WHEN YOU GET DONE WITH YOUR MISSION I WANT TO TO COME TO THE SEALING OF MY DAUGHTERS AND I IN THE TEMPLE. YOU HAVE FOUND ME AND YOU HAVE GIVEN ME THIS OPPORTUNITY THAT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE FOR EVER. AND THEN SHE GOT BAPTIZED." THATS AMAZING. SHES HAS ONLY BEEN SEEING MISSIONARIES FOR ABOUT ONE MONTH NOW AND HER TESTIMONY IS SO STRONG. THERE ARE PEOPLE JUST LIKE HER, LIVING ALL AROUND YOU. YOU NEED TO FIND THEM AND GIVE THEM THIS OPPORTUNITY. THEY WON'T FIND YOU, YOU NEED TO FIND THEM, OPEN YOUR FREAKIN MOUTHS AND HELP IN THE WORK. PRESIDENT MONSON IS ENCOURAGING WHO EVER IS WORTHY AND HAS A DESIRE TO SERVE THE LORD. DOES'NT MATTER IF YOU HAVE A NAME TAG OR NOT, ITS A COMMANDMENT THAT HE HAS GIVEN ALL OF US. WHEN WE ARE IN THE SERVICE OF OUR FELLOW BEING WE ARE ONLY IN THE SERIVE OF OUR H.F.... SERVE SERVE SERVE. I LOVE YOU ALL AND HOPE THAT YOU CAN ALL REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS WORK! AND THAT YOU ARE NEEDED. THE PROPHET SPEAKS FOR HEAVENLY FATHER AND IF YOU IGNORE HIM AND DON'T DO ANYTHING, YOU ARE PRETTY MUCH SAYING I AM NOT WILLING TO KEEP YOUR COMMANDMENTS AND I DO NOT LOVE YOU NOR WILL I RESPECT YOU. HE HAS GIVEN YOU SO MUCH. YOUR FAMILY, HIS ONLY BEGOTTON SON, THIS GOSPEL, EVERYTHING YOU HAVE, THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS SERVE HIM AND GIVE HIM YOUR ALL. LOVE AND HOPE YOU ARE MAKING THE BEST OF YOUR CHRISTMAS SEASON AND HOLIDAY, THAT YOU FIND A FAMILY THAT YOU CAN SERVE AND MAKE THEIR CHRISTMAS UNFORGETABLE! LOVE YOU ALL.
