Leih hou!

This week has been really good! It started last monday when we got to go play some soccer on the courts with all the other missionaries. We have started to do this every single monday and it is super fun! I love playing with all the British missionaries they are pretty good! Later that day we got together with a few other missionaries and played some board games and then went back to Yuen Long to go look around.

Later this week we met with Donald who is the kid that had the Bible and came up to us and asked to meet. I explained a little about him last email. He is 12 years old and we taught him the restroation and he really liked it! This lesson was super powerful. I have been starting to understand a lot more and speak a lot better which has helped me a ton and I was just super happy I could understand almost everything he said. After we taught him to pray and my companion offered to pray and right as he was about to start, Donald started praying and his prayer was so sincere and real! It was super cool!

Later we met another investigator named Steven. He wants nothing to do with the church but he likes missionaries so he took us out to dinner at an American Pizza place (american pizza is sooo much better than chinese pizza.) At this dinner we were filling up our drinks and a random old dude named Thomas Lam came up to us and said he had a real interest in learning about Jesus. Then he started speaking english and said, "I want to rekindle my knowledge about christ." it was super cool another answer to our prayers. we will meet with him this week!

Now for some chinese culture. It isn't rude to spit your food out onto the table. So when you eat meat (almost all meat has bones) you can just eat it and spit the bones on to the table. Also here it is rude to ask people to "please pass the food." it is rude becasue they have to put down their chop sticks and give you the food so you just have to reach over them and get the food you want. I still am not very good with chop sticks so eating with members is always funny because they make fun of me for how bad I am with teh chopsticks haha!

We also had thanksgiving this week where we met with our whole zone and cooked some cobblers and then a turkey! it was super fun! I really love my zone so much! We also had a member that owns a cha su faan resturaunt cook us some food as well and the food he cooked us was amazing! it was this pork with this amzing sauce and some rice! super good! We were then challenged to think of things we were thankful for and and fill up 2 pages in our journals with them. It was super cool 

Other than that nothing much happened! I would love to hear form all of you and how your weeks went!
