A Memorable Sunday!

Jan. 31st, 2016
Enjoyed a relaxing day together and got some good gospel studying in! Attended the English Branch of church here in Macau which meets in the evening! There is such a wonderful spirit in their meetings, and most of the branch members come from very humble circumstances and work long hours to provide the basic needs for their families! Many of them come to Macau and leave their families in the Philipines (parents both come and leave their young children with grandparents) to work here in the hotels/casinos. It is so humbling to hear them share their testimonies and  see their commitment to the gospel. I am really going to miss attending here, and am already looking forward to coming back in April. The Holbrooks (senior couple missionaries) said they would put me to work helping them and the other missionaries when I come back. It is so awesome to be in the mission field, and the branch is so  friendly and welcoming! 

Those of from the states in the branch! The members love to have their picture taken with us!
