We had our Zone conference (my last Zone Conference) yesterday. President spent the first 3 hours answering questions he had asked us to email over the previous week, and then we spent the rest of the time making videos to answer the question "Why do you believe in Christ" the only criteria was that it needed to be 5 minutes and have 2 scriptures. It was really fun, but took my group forever to come up with what we wanted to do (no sisters or other creative people in my group) so we ended up only having time to film it through once, but aside from the camera man accidentally covering the mic hole on his iPad with his finger for 30 seconds of the film, it turned out really good. Here's a picture of the Elder's I did it with, none of them are Chinatown elders except for Elder Kuo and I, so I don't really know them at all.

We had a baptism this last Sunday for a 13 year old girl, followed immediately after by us all skyping in for the baptism of Xxxx Xxxx Xx and his Fiancé Xxxx Xxxx, who were taught all the lessons here in Chinatown. The week before their baptisms president Morgan made it extremely clear that anyone who is living in Brooklyn is not allowed to be baptized here, so they had to get passed off to the New York, New York South Missionaries. I'm sure they appreciated it, the two of them are extremely solid new members, and all the missionaries need to do now is make sure that there is a smooth transition to them starting to attend that branch instead (the week they got baptized was the first time they attended a different unit than Chinatown).

The girl on the left is the one who got baptized.

I'll probably send some more stuff later, but this is the main meat of what happened this week. Oh, and sister Xxxx (the Recent Convert) continues to bring the missionaries crab every Monday. I really like it.

Love, your son/sibling in service,

Elder Christensen
