你好 Mates

This week, we found 3 new investigators. Lily, Fitsum, and Suing, Lily is an older lady, and Suing is younger from Cambodia. Fitsum is from Ethiopia. Our companion Elder Edwards is a machine, he found all three of these people. Heavenly Father really does put people in our path. 

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.

Fitsum had been praying for more spirituality in his life. He was on his way to work and saw us. He said that when he past by us, he prayed that we would approach him, which Elder Edwards did and now he is investigating the church. He still has some more learning to do and we will be reteaching somethings. He has been in Australia for 7 years but there is still a small language barrier so we will be helping him understand simply the Gospel.

That's probably the coolest thing that happened this week.

Love Elder Westbrook
