This week was a bit hard for me, but we had some great experiences this week that will help both me and Elder Elieson. We had two, really solid new investigators from this week. One was a Chinese man whom we were introduced to last week. Both his parents are members in China, and he has been to church 15 - 20 times while in China. It was only when he got here that he was able to get in contact with the Elders. When we first met him one week ago, he expressed his desire to learn. In our meeting with him yesterday, we saw his desire to learn, and his eagerness to meet with us. He has a lot of background knowledge, but there is still plenty for him to learn - especially about the Restoration. The major challenge that we see going forward is his work schedule, because with his new job, he does not have a set off day, and so there will be some days that he will be scheduled to work on Sunday.
The other new investigator that we met on Sunday was also really great! He was found by the Zone Leaders and we had quite a different lesson with him, since he came from a background with little knowledge of Christianity. We focused mostly on the first half of the Restoration, and our investigator is very sincere! Afterwords, Elder Elieson commented on how he thought we had had two awesome lessons.
Well, that is pretty much it for this week! I had a lot of people ask me about Easter... it is pretty low key here, but there are a good amount of Christians here so it is still remembered. Not too much to report.
Sincerely
Elder Allen
