For the week, nothing much to report. In way of fulfilling a request:
Baptismal Dates are ALL scheduled for the 19th of June (Last Day of the Transfer).
#1 and #2: Jharny and Ivana: I may have told you a little about Jharny, but she is about 28, she lives in the City, and Elder Makai and his trainer found Jharny and her little girl Ivana when he started his mission in the city about a year ago! We went and visited her and discovered that Ivana is turning 8 on June 19th, so, WE COMMITTED THEM TO BAPTISM! We still have plenty of work to do, but I know that the Lord works miracles for those who open their hearts!
#3: Guan: Guan is an interesting guy. He is about 22, he is chinese, and he goes to Adelaide University, so he is UP TO HIS EYEBALLS with schoolwork, but has a great understanding, and a GREAT desire to follow Jesus Christ. I will try to get a picture with our dates, but, if it hinders the work, IT MUST BE STOPPED! Just a fair warning.
#4: Matthew: OH MATHEW! Matthew also is Chinese, is up to his eyeballs in Uni work, and has a GREAT desire to follow Jesus Christ but can't QUITE find the drive to learn who Jesus Christ REALLY is. I know however that God has prepared him. We actually met Matthew through his friend Ben. Ben met with us once, and then brought his friend Matthew. Ironically enough, Ben no longer meets with us. BUT, we will see if we can change that!
#5: Jake: Jake actually follows practically the EXACT same pattern as Matthew because, Matthew brought Jake to one of the Lessons, and Jake was like, man, I want to be baptized. One minor road-block...you guessed it: Chinese. It's not very popular or even encouraged for Chinese to be involved in Religion, but, the Lord has prepared him. A minor miracle with Jake was how we actually lost contact with him, and then in China Town the other day he was like, "Bennion?" HE CONTACTED ME! He was like, it's so good to see you, so, I asked him straight up, Jake, we lost your phone number, do you still to meet and be baptized on the 19th? He was like, "Yeah". SO, BACK TO WORK!
ALL 5 OF THESE SOULS HAVE COME TO KNOW ABOUT JESUS CHRIST, NOW IT IS MY DUTY, MY PRIVILEGE TO BRING THEM UNTO HIM. I love to be a Missionary. Keep me in your prayers, and I will continue to feel of His love, and yours. If you need ANYTHING, don't hesiate to ask. I walk with Jesus Christ everyday, He is seeking those who need His love. Allow me to help you, as I learn how to lose myself in His marvelous work.
LOVE, From Down Under,
Elder Connor E. Bennion
