Week 84 March 19, 2018

Hey guys! This has been a pretty exciting week. Transfers came and
Elder Cheng and I are staying together. This is his last 6 weeks and he
has been saying how he really wants to go all out with the time that he has
left. I’ll probably have a lot more to talk about this up coming
week.

Shane came to church again. He’s really busy so we haven’t had too
much time to meet with him. Every time I see home though, I get more
impressed with him. He’s totally changing his life around, and he has
a lot going on in his family life so it’s cool to see that he puts
everything aside and comes to church. Our members are really doing a
good job of going out of their way to help him out too.

Elyse’s baptism is on Friday. We just taught her at the Peterson home
yesterday. We finished up on teaching her about families and temples.
I really like teaching about temples because there’s a whole new
attitude towards everything. Of course the spirit is there but I’m
talking about when you first tell people that they can be with their
family and loved ones after you die is a whole new thing that people
don’t get to hear about.
That’s what it was like teaching Elyse yesterday. It’s always super
fun anyways because they make fun of each other and us the entire time
we’re there. A lot of stuff goes over Elder Cheng’s head though. They
speak too fast and he doesn’t understand American jokes.
Anyways her baptism is this Friday and she picked the entire Peterson
family to participate in one way or another. A couple Sister
missionaries that taught her before are pretty close by so they’ll get
to come too. It’s going to be a cool experience for Elyse.
