We actually have a group of ILP teachers about 20 minutes away who live in much nicer conditions than us, so we walk down to church every Sunday and hold it there. In total we have 4 groups about 35 people in one little living room holding sacrament meeting together. Its so neat to be sitting in a living room and looking out your window and realizing your having church in China!
Living in America with all our freedoms and especially in Utah, we are so blessed to know of this gospel and to have church's everywhere around. We have made a friend with one of the guards here named Seth who everyday tells us how Happy we are and wishes the people here in China could be as happy as we are. He told our head teacher Tiffany that we have something special about us and he wants to know what we know that makes us different. She has a picture of Christ in her wallet that he saw and he asked who it was and she told him it was Christ. Instantly he knew he could ask no more questions but he wanted so bad to know more about our Church and Our Savior and we want him to know just as badly.
It will be so wonderful when the Church opens up here in China, there are so many people here ready for it, and we hope to be able to teach and talk to them again when this day happens.
The apartment buildings we have church in are in a beautiful area. Andrea and I like to stay after church and write in our journals over there since it is SO BEAUTIFUL!
Debbie it sounds so beautiful! Its sad that they can't have the church there yet.. but when they do it will be so amazing. Glad you're having fun :) stay safe girly
