Hello! It was a good week! Highlights of the week are probably that we're going to convert a whole college. Ha no just kidding but we have about 10 investigators and 7 of them are college students! They are all pretty chill too. Lyndon's parents still oppose a tiny bit but we fasted with him this past weekend to try and soften his parents hearts a bit so we're seeing him tomorrow night and will follow up! He's a man-beast.
I apologize, I keep forgetting to take pictures... A funny thing happened though. At a fireside, a foreign exchange student said the closing prayer and him, not being a member, said it a bit differently. I think he is from Russia or something I'm not sure. Oh and he doesn't speak Chinese so he just said it in English. It went something like this,"Close your eyes people. Glorious God! We, gathered here today, have come here tonight for one joint purpose. To glorify thee and praise thee! Mighty God, we love you. We thank you. We fear you. Forgive us our wicked sins and forget our dark trespasses. Of this we pray in the name of the almighty being, your Son, Jesus Christ, Jehovah. Amen." It was a strange, but yet still oddly eloquent prayer.
After opening my eyes I didn't really know what to think. And no one else paid any attention to it either because they all spoke Chinese and didn't notice a difference, they were just listening for the "amen". Anyways it was kind of interesting and made me laugh inside just because I probably had a funny expression on.
It was a very good week and right now it's hard to think of specifics so sorry! Wasn't able to watch conference because we have to wait another week due to the translation. I love you all and hope the conference can remain in your minds throughout it!
Love,
Elder Hagedorn
