Mainland Chinese Convert


This week Sisters Hu (Taiwan) and Aguda (Philippines) (in muumuu) saw one of their investigators from mainland China be baptized.  Qian Ying Zhao, and her husband, have been in Laie visiting their daughter, Jiayuan, who is attending BYUH and playing on their tennis team.  All three began meeting with the missionaries at the VC.  The husband had to return to China for business but the mother continued with the discussions and was baptized.  This picture includes the District Leader, Elder Stanger, who conducted the baptism interview.  In China, non-members can only attend church services if a family member is a church member, and they must hold separate meetings from the expatriates who are in the Country. Sister Zhao joined the church here so her husband can attend with her in China and learn more.  The daughter, Jiayuan, says she will be baptized soon.
