Hello!!!

This week has been great! We were able to see our friend Alex be baptized!!!

Alex is a great guy. At first we were not sure if he was very keen on baptism, but he ended up really wanting to be baptized. Through his obedience to the commandments and continued faith in something better, he found great joy through baptism. He told us that as he was under the water, he pictured heaven just for a little bit. He’s going to be a great Chinese guy to have in our ward because of the solid testimony he has of the Gospel. I am sure that he will strengthen the church here and in China. He is already worried about paying tithing in China and finding a meetinghouse.

If any of you reading this email knows how to get the meeting house locations for the Shangdong province, contact me.  I will try myself.  Serious/not serious question.
