Hello my dear family members,

How are you guys? I will remain on the Hong Kong island this transfer. Hopefully we can get new investigators someday. If we have faith it can be done.

I am the oldest missionary on Hong Kong island. Most of the missionaries have been on a mission for three to four transfers. I am going on ten. I am such an inspiring person to look to for adivce because I am so full of wisdom and experience and I know what I am doing when it comes to missionary work.

I agree with James. In someways I am a mindless zombie for the Lord. I think it would be more accurate to say like a power tool or some kind of instrument or something though. I just want to infect the whole world with the message of the restored gospel. Think of how much easier it would be to just have to bite someone instead of having to tell them my message and help them decide to get baptised. It would also help if nothing could hurt me. I also have a unquenchable hunger for investigators and human flesh.

Hey, so Im a district leader. There are two Cantonese companionships in my district. I don't think I can do baptismal interviews for them. All I will basically do is inspire them will my pep talks and motivational speeches. I can do interviews for mainland visitors though. I did two yesterday and probably will do another today. Talk about akward. Have you ever had an abortion? are you sure? Have you ever had a gay relationship? really? and the best part is that its all in mandarin.

Maybe this letter is inappropriate for children.

I am starting to love teaching, I really want to increase my skills and language. I think teaching by the spirit feels really nice. Its pretty bogus the other way. Too bad none of the people I teach are ever investigators.

I finished Jesus the Christ, I want to read the Old Testament, but I bet that won't help my teaching.

I love you all,
