We had a cool miracle yesterday. Elder Morris met a guy name Mehrdad on the street, he wanted to know how he can be Christian. When we met up with him, we asked him a few questions to get to know him. He wants to find peace in his life, that's all he wants. We shared with him some scriptures in the Book of Mormon that brought us peace, and showed how it can bring peace to him. As we were reading, he looked down a few verses and saw the word commandments. Elder Morris and I were a little hesitant to share the commandments in the first lesson. So we kind of just brushed it off and mention the 10 commandments and things like that. We said that it would take more than one visit to explain everything, then he suggested that we get coffee another time. Elder Morris and I looked at each other and said" ....we don't drink coffee..." Then he said" Ok, let's get some tea." Then we were like " we don't drink tea either...." "What about a beer" " don't drink beer as well"
We hesitated a little and grabbed a Word of Wisdom pamphlet, and taught the Word of Wisdom and he committed to follow them. We were surprised. Then he asked about relationships like living with a partner. Then we had to grab the Law of Chastity pamphlet. He said that his girlfriend was out of town, so that wasn't a problem for him. It was the first time that Elder Morris and I had ever taught the Word of Wisdom and Law of Chastity in the first lesson. So we gave him a date for the 11th of March, just goal, because he want's to get baptized as soon as he can. We will make sure he's ready though, before he get's baptized.
Hey mates
Love Elder Westbrook
你好 Mates
Suing apperantly was going to be baptized in Cambodia a while back but didn't because she was moving to Australia. Her aunt is a member and took her to church and was taught by the missionaries there, and magically she bumped into Elder Edwards. When we met with her the first time, we invited her to be baptized, she said " Yup, that's the plan". We still haven't met with her the second time yet because she's really busy with school and work, just like all of our other investigators....
Lily is from China, she's learning English and the Gospel from a different church, but when we contacted her she said she wanted to learn more. When we taught about the nature of God, it was cool how she understood it so well. She told us that in the other churches, they teach about the trinity, and how it makes no sense to her. When we taught that they were 3 separate beings she was really surprised because it was the first time she had heard about it and she said it made so much sense.
We moved to a new flat and we're still working on organizing the new one and the old one. It's a lot nicer than the old one so we're happy about that. Before we left the old flat, the kitchen flooded, and we had to pull up the carpet and everything. It's a mess right now. 
This week was pretty great. We had our Christmas conference and some other things happened as well. 
Well to start off my golden is my companion Elder Morris again. He has been serving in the office for 10 months and just got out today. I feel like I'm training him again, it's nice to be with my old friend. Elder Zhang has been transferred to an English speaking area, he was really bummed out about it. But President wants him to learn some skills about running a ward that he wants Elder Zhang to take home with him so he can grow the church where he lives. Getting to know Elder Zhang has made me want to live in China and grow the church there. Since there are no full-time missionaries in China, the church grows solely on member missionary work. Every single member that has been baptized in China is a referral from family or friends. If we could get the church to grow like that in every ward, I believe the church would double in it's membership and activity. 
So a miracle happened this week. We got a new investigator name brother Lu. He is a friend of our recent converts, Mark Sun. So this is how he was found. Mark Sun was in our office parking lot on the way to a lesson that we were going to have with him. While in the parking lot, he saw someone familiar. It was a friend that he knew from back home. Mark Sun left home to Australia in August, and Brother Lu left in April. Neither of them knew where each other where going and hadn't had contact since. So Mark Sun just so happened to bump into him on the way to his lesson and brought him in and we taught both of them and invited them to church.Brother Lu, we found out he is a Christian from another church he joined in China. He was baptized into that church so we explained to him about Priesthood Authority. He seems to except it pretty well. We haven't set him on date yet。
