WEEK 34 - Seal Team Assistants

I don’t think that I can ever get burnt out doing film. Just yesterday I filmed nine different members and their subsequent testimonies, concluding a week of filming something every single day. My filmmaking skills, which I feared I would lose, are improving exponentially. With the power of the Lord I am not only utilizing my talents to be an instrument in His hands, but improving upon my techniques and refining them. It’s crazy. It’s almost like God has made that promise to people before (King Benjamin moment). I got to spend the day in Katy, attending another Chinese branch for church, linking up with my MTC companion, Elder Madsen, and making my grand return to Sealy, interviewing Brother Turner. We also trained at every Zone Conference this week and little by little we are becoming President Garn’s five other assistants. Like, literally. And, as icing on the cake, I learned how to talk about Wong Kar-wai in Chinese (王佳伟) and talked to some Chinese members about him and his films over dumplings that we made together last Monday; they instantly loved me and the fact that I knew so much about Chinese cinema and culture, 


Elder Naeini is leaving tomorrow so today is going to be a long last P-Day. We went to the Escape Room last week and this week we’re basically going wherever we want to and ending the night at President Garn’s house with phở for 20 people that Elder Phan has been cheffing up for the past two days. I don’t really have much quantifiable information to report, but I hope you are all doing well. We’re reinventing la obra misional out here and all the members are so excited for the future of media missionary work. See you all soon and don’t forget to pray.

WEEKS 60-68 - I Didn’t Go Home

Well, well, well. Look what we have here. He’s back. Basically, I have been indisposed for the past 8 weeks and have been working my butt off for the Lord. I have seen so many miracles over the past 8 weeks, so many souls coming unto Jesus Christ, and so much change. My mission is here to prepare me for the rest of my life, which involves leading teams of content creators to create a vision that will change people’s lives (this vision just happens to be our missionary purpose), and it is directly setting me up for the future. I know that God has prepared me to be here, at this time to utilize the talents and gifts He has given me through art and film, as well as my love for society and culture to change the culture of this mission and to show the world how the Lord is hastening His work. Here’s some notes from the past 8 weeks including a blurb from this past week, Week 68. -We had to leave H8 and it was literally like I was going home. All the members were crying, I was crying, but I ...
