Sending you my mass email now cos I had a long day! We went to the Temple Square and had a tour today (You'll see all the pics hehe). 😊 How's everyone?

Updates/Highlights from last week:

Monday June 4 -

Did our first Skype TRC today and it was fun! 😊 We shared a message to a member who's actually in Hong Kong. We talked about how does Priesthood blessed our lives and why is Priesthood important.

Tuesday June 5 -

In class, we practice teach about Family History and showed our pedigree chart / family tree.. For Tuesday Evening Devotional, the speakers were Sister Gong and Elder Gong of the 12 apostles. Elder Gong shared about four gospel truths:
* A blessing of the restoration of the gospel is the reality of a living prophet.
* Our covenant path gives us purpose and meaning of life
* Heavenly Father inspires, guides, and protects us as we seek promptings of the Holy Ghost
* The Divine calling of Prophet Joseph Smith

Wednesday June 6 -

Welcomed the new missionaries in our zone! 😊 We have 2 new districts yaaay and 5 missionaries are Cantonese speaking! So we're (me and my companion) not alone anymore lol... In class, our teacher discussed about Luke 15. He said there are four ways to read the scriptures and he challenged us to do this every time we read a parable. The four ways are (Know the):

Moral/Ethical
Allegorical
Literal/Historical/Cultural
Anagogical

After class, we had an in-person TRC (real investigator). She's from China but her family moved to Australia and she's here now to study English. Since she's from China, she doesn't know how to speak Cantonese so we taught her a lesson in English haha (and it was kinda weird for me to teach in English cos I got used to teaching in Cantonese now lol but I still felt the Spirit). We shared about The Restoration and Moroni 10:3-5.

Sad day for me and my companion today 😭 The TRC Supervisor said we cannot teach our new investigator anymore because we're not using our mission language (Cantonese) to teach her 😭

Sunday June 10 -

Sunday Evening Devotional speakers were Sister and President Priday. President Priday emphasized the importance of the Book of Mormon. He said we should:

Follow Moroni's challenge (to ask God if the Book of Mormon is true)
Mark all reference of Deity
Use Book of Mormon as your primary source for teaching investigators
Make it a primary goal that your investigator will read the Book of Mormon daily

After the devotional, we watched "Mountain of the Lord" for our Sunday film viewing. I am grateful for the sacrifices/service of the pioneers on building the Salt Lake Temple (and other temples). I totally felt the Spirit while we were watching the film.
