大家好！Hello friends!

Another funny week gone by, here's the gist:

• The Relief Society had an activity at someone’s house, and we heard Jem was there! Jem is someone that was baptized over a year ago, but she quickly stopped coming to church. The Lord has a great plan!
• Had a wild lesson involving 5 missionaries, 2 YSA ward members and 1 interested friend.
• Peter Pan has now told at least 20 people about our English class. The real miracle is we got to read the scriptures with him and he started praying!
• Hehe is moving to Toronto for a few months before he returns to China. He has struggled with giving up tea and so we had a kind of hard lesson about keeping the Word of Wisdom. We’re praying that he still feels loved.
• Tons of rain up here which is still awesome! Best summer ever.
• Last P-day we got to look at the Steinway piano store, and also a bunch of fancy car dealerships! (Lamborghini & RR, Ferrari & Alpha Romeo, etc.) Oddly enough, the Steinway store was the most fun by far. The staff was very nice there.

While sitting in the mega lesson with the YSA missionaries I heard our friend Leo ask about how we know what the truth is. In hearing Elder Wong explain the events of Joseph Smith’s first vision, I slowly started realizing (or re-realizing) the profound truth, “Ask, and ye shall receive.” If we want to learn more about someone, we ask them questions. If I need help with something, I ask. This made me realize how little I actually ask questions when I offer prayers to Heavenly Father. This week I’d invite you to join me in asking questions in your personal prayers. God will answer in some way at some time, for he “giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not.”

I was reading in the book of Alma this week when I realized how much God’s plan of redemption looks after all of his children. Even Alma’s persecutions of others couldn’t prevent God’s plan for his salvation to be accomplished. I know God’s plan works! Because of Jesus Christ, all of us will be given the capability and the choice to come back to our heavenly home.

Stay cool everyone! Love you all!
