Our friend, Pony aka Brother Wang, is getting baptized next week (probably)! He has been golden from the beginning but has really had a desire to have a strong testimony before being baptized and so that's why it has taken him some time to be baptized. He's ready though. He has the desire. Besides that, last last week we found 9 new investigators!! That's pretty legendary. So we've had a lot more people to work with. However, this past week we had a total of 0 new investigators..... We need to do better at constantly finding. Elder Huang got his visa!! He is leaving on Dec. 7th. That means he will be in Taiwan for another transfer after we're done doing his training.
Take-aways from General Conference:
1. Sincere prayer with real intent exercising faith in Christ will give us a steadfast faith in Christ, a brightness of hope, and a love of God and all men.
2. Although God loves all of us, he cannot look upon sin any allowance and neither should we. However, we need to remember that Jeffrey R. Holland quote that was used twice by two different speakers, "it is not possible to sink lower than the infinite light of Christ shines."
3. Jesus = Joy
Also, I am not too proud to admit that I cried during K. Brett Nattress's talk when he talked about his mom.
Birthday shout out out to Dad! So old! Not really. I had a lot of opportunities this weekend to share how cool it is that my dad translates for conference. #legend
Another birthday shoutout to the Republic of China aka Taiwan. 105 years!
I encourage everyone to continue to ponder, study, and then re-study the messages from general conference in order to get more guidance in life.I know I will! It's pretty cool that the prophet and church leaders are receiving revelation from God for us for our day.
Love you all,
-Elder Poon
