2nd week in Ngau Tau Kok
Hello!
This week has been super good!
We met with a lot of investigators, and we were able to find a few
more! One sad thing happened is that one investigator was supposed to be
baptized yesterday but we met with him last Wednesday and he didn't
seem to want God's help through baptism. He didn't want to be baptized
but he agreed to keep meeting with us and to keep learning. All of our
investigators here are super good and kind people so that makes me
really happy to be serving them and to work my hardest for them.
I also got to meet the new mission President and his wife.
The new mission president came to our ward this Sunday
and bore his
testimony in Chinese. He served in my area when he was a missionary
here. He still remembers Chinese but it sounds like a white person is
speaking. But pretty much every missionary sounds like that. His wife
was born in Hong Kong and she gave her testimony and her Chinese sounded
like a white person as well ha ha. She hasn't spoken it in so long so
that kind of surprised me because Sister Lam and President Lam still
sounded like Chinese people but Sister Phillips didn't so it surprised
me but she will pick it up a lot faster and be fluent in no time. But
they are super nice! After church they got lost trying to find their way
back to mission head quarters in Kowloon tong so we helped them find
their way to the MTR. We got to talk to them for a while and they are
just super kind and loving! they are a little overwhelmed with all the
duties of mission president but I know they will do amazing. They are
super nice and I love them so much!
President Phillips is decently old but last week he went out finding
with some missionaries for 3 hours. And to go finding at this point in
summer for 3 hours is not super fun. So i was really impressed. He is
super cool and I like him so much!
I love
Elder Delabahan so much! He is a super good singer and one of our
investigators can sing so she sang in Japanese which was super weird
that she knew how to sing in Japanese but it sounded super good and
Elder Delabahan sang with her! It was pretty cool! Elder Delabahan is
super amazing! Elder Delabahan is a teacher in his home country which is
super cool! So i have really learned a lot from him!
The language is progressing! I love it. I can understand pretty much everything
but there are still a lot of things that I don't understand. I have
memorized 500 Chinese characters. So I know how to read a little bit. I
can almost read from the book of Mormon in Chinese ha ha. I don't know
how to write the 500 characters but I think I will learn how to write
later.
That is pretty much it, nothing too special this week.
