Hey family,
I do have p-day on Monday, but during temple week it's on whatever day we go to the temple. I got to go already. What a great experience. I truly love the temple. I thought that it was interesting how Adam named eve that because she’s the mother of all living things, when they had no children, and there are many living things. So any thoughts on that. Lastly how the devil says the fruit is soo good, when the scriptures say that of the fruit of knowledge and eternal life one is bitter and one sweet. So I think that the fruit was bitter. And that is where chi ku comes from. idk.
Well funny experience, I was being treated to a dinner the other day at a restaurant, and the owner/cook asked if I was full and I said yes. Then she asked "hai keyi ma" *literal translations: still able” which I took to mean "can you still eat" and so I said "bu keyi." Then my companion told me "hai keyi means how was the food, and I told her horrible. Oh ya, got to love these experiences. I hurriedly apologized and thanked her for a great meal.
My companion and I white washed Longtan so we are still getting to know it and the members. In a way it’s nice. My investigators are all great and I love them. Sun dixiong (Brother Sun) is the one with the most doubts but he’s gaining a testimony, and he wanted to know real changes the church had helped us make in our life. I told him one that in middle school I had not the best friends, though good not the best. Then when I really converted, the church helped me change to really good friends. Before then I hadn't even realized the church had changed this in my life. I was learning as I shared it. It was great and after that lesson he said, "I am reassured now." I think he was thinking about dumping us. Then this last time he came in sad and left happy. It’s so great.
Our golden investigator is Zhaung dixiong, this last lesson he came in excited about having read Alma 34 and bore a beautiful testimony on faith and how from faith we receive power. We had planned on reviewing the third lesson with him but he was for us. We told him yea and faith helps us to want to repent. He cut us off and asked if he could bear his testimony, and proceeded to do so on repentance and the importance of prayer in the repentance process. We then talked shortly about baptism and reset his baptismal date because he hasn't come to church yet because of his job, which he is quitting to be able to come. In the prayer he prayed to be baptized as quick as possible. So, yeah, golden. I think if I told him not to be baptized, he still would. So I love it, no pressure at all.
I am excited to read emails on Monday morning. Anything else you want to hear about then?
Love Elder Matthew Sabey
