What is up!

This week has been a pretty normal week so this email might be a bit brief ha ha. To start it out, this week looked like a good week like we were going to get a few new investigators and get some people at church and meet with investigators but as the week went on, all these plans fell through haha. This happens pretty commonly. But none the less it was still a good week!

This week I got to go on exchanges with Elder Jepsen in his area TSW (Tin Shui Wai). It isn't too far from Yuen Long probably just a 5 minute Sai Tit ride but while I was there we taught a lesson to John, their investigator, about the Restoration. He seemed to accept it pretty well, we gave him a book of Mormon and he said he would read it. It was interesting because we met with him in the TSW park and normally when people are walking around the investigator will be distracted but John was pretty focused on the lesson and asked a lot of good questions. Over all the lesson went well and the exchanges were super fun as well! I love Elder Jepsen and I learned a lot from him even thought he is 2 months shorter than I am.

This week was also super cool because one of our members (Lai Jimuih) or Sister Lai invited her friend from high school and us to a lunch and it was just super spiritual to see that Lai Jimuih trusted us enough to introduce us to a dear friend of hers from high school. Her friend had to go really fast because she still needed to go to work so we shared a quick lesson about what missionaries do and Christ. It went well we just need to follow up with Lai Jimuih about it.

This week we also got to go to a stake soccer activity which was super fun we took our investigator Avery to it with us and we played soccer with him for the whole time and we really got to know him! so it was good. After the soccer activity we were able to go to a ward activity which was karaoke! we sang a few songs as missionaries but it was super fun. Karaoke here in china is a big thing! haha But the Chinese songs are super awful and don't even sound good hahaha. It is super funny to watch and hear.

The most spiritual thing that happened was I had the opportunity to talk to a sister from the HSK (Hung Shui Kiu) ward to about her mission. She is going to go to the Salt Lake City Temple Square mission in June and she is super nervous to go. She was like shaking just talking about it but it was super sweet conversation because she is feeling a lot of the same feelings that I had felt and it was just super cool to talk to her about it she will do great!

Just a side note but a lot of sisters from Hong Kong get called to temple square so if any of you see them you should definitely say hello for me haha!

That is pretty much it.

I love you all
