Conner Down Under!: "...Man you guys teach eternal life here! " Week 32

So this week was a great week! So in the city if you arent teaching someone you are out on the street talking to people. im gonna give you all a little back ground on how working in the city works. So we dont go to peoples flats and teach them and there are pretty much 0 homes like houses type homes here. So anyone we meet we have them meet us at where the chapel is. The chapel is on the second floor of a massive apartment building. And the first floor is where the teaching center is. The teaching center is where we do all our teaching. Its just a couple rooms set up for us to teach in. Its alot different than any other area. Also like i said earlier like 90% of the people here are from asia. And 95% of the people here are students. Its always interesting walking out on the streets. You get people who will run up and try to steal your badge you get creepy people following you and always see random things happening haha. I love it though!

So we found 5 new investigators this week and its has been awesome. We have a investigator from Kenya named Jo and we set him on date to be baptized on july 25th. We have a couple other investigators who have said they will be baptized but we havent set a date yet! the work here is exploding like crazy and its just so fun. We talk to so many people each day. Its crazy! I have lost all fear of talking to strangers haha.

So the other night we were walking through Hyde park and we saw a guy sitting on a bench so we went over and started talking to him. We asked what his name was and he was like John the baptist and we were like there is no way thats crazy! and he pulled out his passport and showed us and it was literally john the baptist. So we stated to teach him and i pulled out a restoration pamphlet and showed him the picture on the front and i said so this is a picture of Jesus Christ.... And he was like whoa how did you guys get a picture of him was he like here or something? and i was just like whattttttttt and then he started laughing and said sorry that was a bad joke! i totally thought he was serious because back in west virginia i had someone ask me that same question but he was dead serious haha.

Also one morning we were walking through a park and there was this random guy just peeing in front of everyone haha... only in the city.

So with our lesson with jo i will tell you a little bit about it. So the first one we taught the restoration. As we were teaching it the Spirit was so strong as we shared the first vision with him and showed him a picture of Joseph Smith seeing Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. We invited him to follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized. He was quiet for a moment and then said i have no other choice, this is all true i can feel it, what you are teaching is true. i have to be baptized. And then Nirosh who is a member from kenya to that was there said straight up brotha do it for Jesus and they did this high 5 thing and it was so random and funny haha. But then next time we taught him the plan of salvation and he said man you guys teach eternal life here! he said it all made sense and so we set him on date for july 25th! im so excited for him!

So we were walking down the street the other night and this random guy stopped us and said he wanted to follow Jesus and change his life so were like ok we can help with that! so we got his number and set up a appointment for tommorow morning at the tc (teaching center) he showed up and he wanted to see the chapel so we went to go up the stairs and he took like two steps and started getting super worried and said he couldnt do it because he was scared of hights! i was like whattttttttt but we took the elavator and it was al good haha. It was just random.

Well its been a good week i love you all!
