Dear Readers,
I have had such a great experience regarding finding. Before I
came, my companion Elder Glazier and his Companion Elder Neild made a
street display board about the Restoration. They were only able to use
it once because the police came by and told them they were blocking
traffic and that they needed a permit to do so. What is amazing is that
every effort counts in the sight of the Lord. One person stopped by to
look at the display board. Her name is Sister Mercy. She later started
taking discussions from the missionaries and was baptized 2 months
later, which happened to be last week. Although Elder Glazier and I are
Cantonese elders and she is from the Phillipines, he had the privilage
to baptize her because she wanted him to. Even though it may
have "seemed" to be a waste of time to go buy the wood, a waste of time
to buy the screws and assemble this makeshift board, it brought one soul
unto Jesus Christ. Though our efforts, creativity, and patience, the
Lord can work miracles in our individual lives. Today I challange you
to make a way to share the gospel. It doesn't have to be creative, it
doesn't have to be time consuming; All it needs to be is sincere. I know
as we first pray to find those we can help, the Lord will inspire us to
touch their lives. In Hong Kong there are spiritual giants. Looking
back, if I grew up in Hong Kong, I don't know if I could stand the
adversity's blows. Hong Kong= Busy, Fast-Pace, exciting, bright, shiney,
stylish, technological, cheap, loud, creative, large, and rich. How
stong my testimony is now, how fortunate I am to have known the gospel,
how grateful I am to share what I have with others.
Love,
Elder Liu
