Christmas Spirit


Hello Everyone!

Well, Elder Chatman and I are starting to feel the Chirstmas spirit more fully here in Tucheng, and we are really pushing, hoping, and praying to be able to give Christ a great gift this month.

This week was a little bit tougher on the finding side. We spent upwards of 20 hours finding, including all day Friday and Saturday. We split the finding between street contacting and tracting. We were able to find a few good potentials, have lessons, and place some Book of Mormons to them on the street.  We just need to schedule an open time with them to meet again before they can continue to learn more.  Right now we have several good investigators and are excited to see them discover more and more about how this restored gospel can bless their lives! 

One miracle this past week has been our investigator Brother Cai. He is about 50, short, and over 300 pounds. He is a teddy bear though! He has grown up buddhist so prayer has been hard for him to adjust to and to develop into a personal habit, but he has committed to come to church each week and came for the second time yesterday! He also set a baptismal date with us for January. I really feel like he will get baptized in time as he comes to understand the doctrine, because he is so willing to come to church!

My time is about up for this week. Sorry I wasn't able to get much in, but I hope that you all have a wonderful week as you continue to prepare for the Christmas season. May Christ and his message of hope permeate from our spirits this month as we seek to remember all that he has done for us.

Love you all!
Elder Bastian
