MISSION MIRACLE 3

This great man is from Taiwan. His parents divorced when he was young. One day in his 20s, he went to a Presbyterian church in Taiwan. Nobody invited him, he just went. He continued going and eventually became a Christian. Later in his 20s he decided to go to Australia on a working holiday visa, to start a new life and find himself. On his first afternoon here, he was standing on the street with his luggage with his friend Chester. Chester's friend Dora, who had been in Australia longer, was with them. A few weeks prior, Dora had been street contacted by Elder Ladd. She had gone to English Class at Kangaroo Point. As it so happened, that day Elder Ladd and his companion Elder Monsen had just arrived in the city after an appointment. Elder Ladd spotted Dora and stopped by to say hi, and met Philip and Chester. The next day, Philip and Chester came to church. Philip continued to do so until he left Australia, not much more than a month later. He felt he had accomplished his goals for coming to Australia: he found himself in the LDS church and started a new life through baptism, on July 27, back in his hometown in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
