你们好！
Hey so this older Italian member just walked into the church while we
were doing emails and started talking in Spanish to Elder Alvarenga and within 10 minutes they found out that this member was best friends with Elder Alvarenga's grandpa in Peru and was baptized in the chapel there that Elder Alvarenga's grandparents built. It's a worldwide church, but it can seem pretty small sometimes!
But anyway, we've had a great week :) we went back to the university looking for them Chinese people, and at first we didn't have a lot of success. There were two girls who we were pretty sure were speaking Chinese that told us they were Japanese and walked away...kind of suspicious. Oh well. However, eventually we found ourselves at a tram stop on campus and Chinese people were coming out of the woodworks!
Seriously coming from every direction, getting on and off the trams on either side, we were freaking out. 敖长老 is doing a really great job being brave and talking to people even though his Chinese is still pretty basic, but he's been understanding more and more and it's been getting him really excited :) He's realizing just how awesome Asians are, mwahaha he's becoming quickly converted....

We had a lesson with a really great guy that the previous Elders were teaching, he has a background in religion but is looking for the truth and in about four weeks has has read like half the Book of Mormon! If I had 5 rupees for every time one of my amis read like that, I would have about 10 rupees.
This week Elder Eberhard taught a great district meeting and engaged us all to go to our bishoprics and come up with a plan to unite all the part-member families in the ward. Luckily Elder Eberhard is also serving in Grenoble, so he had already scheduled us all a meeting with the bishopric which was one of the best ward + missionary meetings I've ever attended! Apparently Grenoble and the ward thereof are super awesome. Who knew?
I don't have a lot of time or iPad battery left, but I will leave you with this thought: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is THE TRUE CHURCH! We love and respect all people of all different backgrounds, but this Church is the only one with the proper divine authority to act in the name of Jesus Christ. If you're confused, ask the missionaries and they'll explain :)
I love you all!
