你哋好啊!

This week has been super fun! We started it off by going hiking with my recent convert from my last area and a few other people from my last area. It was super fun to see him and the others that i taught! 

Elder Siddoway and I have been working really hard too. Every day pretty much just in the streets of 粉嶺 looking for new people to teach. And on one of these days we happened to run into an person we knew in our ward that got baptized 3 years ago. We talked to him and he had some of the coolest experiences that I have heard on my entire mission. It was honestly just amazing and we really felt like the Lord had led us to meet him and help him out. It was honestly most amazing.

Later this week one investigator named Yao Ming invited us over to his house and we met his wife and he cooked us some way weird Chinese things and we ate and it was a good time we even got to share about families! It was super cool and he loves coming to our English class. He made us eat the fish eyeballs of the fish he cooked haha 

We met another person named Vincent and he is just a classic high school kid except for he is a bit older. And he has way long hair haha. He is super cool and he is just looking for a bit of direction in life so we are trying to help him out with that.

Also this week we had a family home evening after church on Sunday and that was super fun! Ate some really good food and then we shared a message and a played a small game which was really funny but fun! 

That is pretty much it. I have learned quite a lot on my mission. It has been interesting to see how I have changed. Elder Siddoway and I were talking about it this week but I feel like my personality is still the same but the way I think about things has changed. Just the way I view things and the way I see others. It has really been a change for the good so I am very thankful for my Heavenly Father to help me over come some pride and to change. 

That is pretty much all haha.

你哋好

This week was a pretty good week. It was full of excitement. 

So this week was my last few days with Elder Wong. It was pretty cool and I learned so much from him. I learned a lot more about the atonement when I was with him and it was really rewarding. We didn't have many people to teach but I think what I learned about the atonement was necessary for me to learn before I can continue my missionary work. So in that sense it was super cool and really a blessing. 

I also got to go to 九龍塘 to pick up Elder Siddoway. And while I was there I got to see my MTC companion, Elder Nesbit, who came back to Hong Kong this week. It was so cool to see him and also another big testimony builder to see him come back and to really have a desire to serve the Lord. And then we got a picture of the original 4 squad that we had in the MTC (me, Nesbit, Clarke, and Siddoway) it was super cool. Then Elder Siddoway and I went back to  粉嶺.

It rained a lot out here but Elder Siddoway and I were out on the streets finding people. We met a few cool people that have interest. So hopefully it will turn out good!

That is pretty much it! I love you all!

Transfers!

Hello!

So big news! We got our transfer calls and I don't know how this happened and I was starting to give up hope that it would happen but Elder Siddoway and I will be companions! I am staying in my area and Elder Siddoway will be coming in! It will be super cool and fun! It will honestly be super spiritual! this is honestly such a big blessing! 

other than that we didn't have much going on. We just tried a bunch of finding methods because we have a lot of time on our hands because our teaching pool is very small. Some of the ideas included: door knocking, soccer and basketball finding, setting up a booth, street finding, poster finding, inviting to activities, English class finding, and so on. It was really good and trying all these types of finding actually helps with not making the work so boring and tedious. 

That is pretty much it. I have a lot of pictures to explain these last two weeks.
