Dear Family and Friends,
This week we didn't get to watch conference!! We watch
it next week!! So that you for being mindful of me and not spoiling it!!haha
This week has flown by... like always!!! haha Last Monday after we
emailed we went to dakeng and saw the monkeys!!! It was awesome!! We came
back and ate this awesome chidaobao!! This week we really tried to focus
our efforts on sharing the message of Easter. No one here knows what Easter
is.. and if they do they only know about the bunny and the eggs!! haha,
there is an amazing video... I am sure that you have seen it. It is
called BecauseHeLives. We went around sharing this with everyone this
week!! We had them pulling it up right then and there on their phones and
watching it. We also had a free car wash where people could come park at
the church go inside and watch the video while we washed their skooters and
cars. It was amazing to see them come out. They all came out of that
church a little different than when they walked it. It was awesome!!
Monday we met with P and V and their son.
They are honestly just the most amazing family ever. We taught them and
gave them baptismal goals!! Church will be the main thing for them.
They are always very busy. They feel the power of prayer and it has
affected their lives.
Saturday we had an awesome experience!! There is a
thing called saomu "sweeping tombs" It is

We were able to meet with an active member in the ward
this week who has been super busy with work. As I was reading in personal
study, I just couldn't seem to find anything that really jumped out to
me. Finally as I read in Mosiah 24 it read about the lord making their
burdens seem light. It really hit me. So that night as we met with
him, I know I needed to share that with him. He expressed that he has
been struggling recently and that this was exactly what he needed to
hear. It was really neat. It was like in that moment I knew exactly
what he needed and we both knew that it was true. So amazing.
I love you all so much and want you all to know that
Because He Lives all of us have the opportunity to find peace and happiness
regardless of the situations we face! We are not only on this earth to
grow and learn, I am fully convinced we are also here to be happy. Let us
all commit to doing something this week to bring us closer to our Savior and
experience the true happiness that his perfect life has given us.
I love you all so much and pray for you. Keep the
faith!!
Love,
Elder Redding
