Gavin comes from Chinese and lives in our building, in fact, next to the Sellers on the 4th floor. Before Covid, his wife and daughter also lived here. Sister Karen Jensen had brought them cookies and befriended them. Just before Covid, Gavin's wife and daughter went home to FuShan, then Covid hit and Gavin has been stuck here. His son was born during Covid and he has not been able to make it back, not even seen his son except on WeChat!
When Sister Jensen was getting ready to leave in November, she gave Gaven and "Man search for happiness" video and introduced Ted to him.. Gavin watched with video and told us he really would like to know more. The only problem, he said, was that he work 6 days a week till 6 pm and only has Sunday off. We told him there is no problem at all, we had him over for dinner a few time and started teaching him the gospel with Elder and Sister Dan Sellers.
He is like a plain piece of paper. He said in China, you are only taught that the Government is God and there is no God! He soaked in all the lesson, read the Book of Mormon, we explained the Tree of Life with him. He has no issues with any of the commandment and gladly accepted them, evening fasting with us on the very first Sunday he attended Church.
He was baptized on December 26, 2021, the last baptism of the year!
Later we were able to watch with him "Meet the Mormon". He was very impressed at the Church he joined and hope that one day, his wife will also have the desire and the opportunity to join!
Congratulation, Gavin and thank you for accepting Jesus Christ at your Savior!
