Just More Working

Elders Hadden and Burton at 2019 Chinese New Year

Dear all,

No birthdays or zone conferences or anything this week. Just more working. 

We're still working with RJ. He came to church this week and he's coming to institute again this Friday.  

We're working with another guy named Brother Bailey. He's a long-time less active, but the more we meet with him the more excited he gets about the gospel. He still hasn't come to church yet, but I think it will happen soon. Hopefully. 

Thanks to the Filipinos, we're still getting fed. They're pretty much the only ones who feed us, but they do feed us. We worked with Brother Brao on editing the ward list on Sunday while we were at his house. Brother De Guzman, the man we normally take the sacrament to, was really tired so we couldn't give him the sacrament. They fed us balut instead. Elder Burton didn't really like it. 

We went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders yesterday. I was with Elder Morales from Nantes. I went to Kirkland again and spent another day knocking doors. This is only the 4th time I've knocked doors in my whole mission, but we had a good time and found a few people who might be interested. Elder Morales is a good guy and a good missionary. It was a good exchange overall. 

Also, Mandarin branch New Year's party was this week end. Elder Burton and I peeked in for a sec. Pictures below.

Love you all,

Elder Hadden

Elder Burton doesn't like balut.

balut - a developing bird embryo (usually a duck) that is boiled and eaten from the shell. It originated from and is commonly sold as street food in the Philippines.
