Wow this week has been crazy. First I've eaten a rotten egg (sorry dad, I know you told me not to eat it hahah but when they just give it to you you can't really not), cow stomach, and octopus. I guess that this isn't that weird of food but weird to me hahah.
This week has been super good. We have taught some great lessons with some amazing members. The members here are literally amazing. Whenever we teach with them they are so helpful. They can explain the doctrine and principles really well and help answer their questions.
We have had a summer missionary with us the past week. So she will be with us through this next week too. She is really helpful, and always wants to help hahha. One day when we were doing language study I was trying to say "Fold arms" but I said it wrong and she thought I was speaking english and said "kill myself." She's been laughing at it the past three days.
But seriously she is amazing. Because of her we had 2 returning members come to sacrament because they're all friends. It was so cute.
Also this week we had an amazing experience where I know our footsteps were guided by God. One day we got behind in our schedule by like 40 min...which is fine, but we were doing some language study with a returning member who isn't interested really in coming to church....but randomly a lady from mainland came in looking to buy a bible. We said we could give her a book of mormon for free. She was curious and we gave her a fast tour and then taught the restoration. We then gave her the mission office address where she could go get a bible because we were out. So that was random, and I feel like that was us being guided, then we went to take all our stuff back to our apartment because we had to move out for a couple days, but that's a different story.
Anyway we couldn't stay because the people weren't done so we thought to go to starbucks to finish comp study. On the way we ran into a girl named K---. Later I found out she was being taught and all of a sudden disappeared. She was progressing really well, and they gave her the parent permission slip to be baptized, but then they never heard from her again, and they couldn't contact her. They figured her parents didn't want her to be baptized....turns out she lost her phone. She didn't save the number and didn't know how to get back in contact with the missionaries. So now we are teaching her once again. I also feel like our footsteps were guided to find her. It was a miracle.
Oh also so our shower was leaking into the apartment below us so we had to get a new shower...so President Phillips didn't want us there while random men were in our apartment all day so we moved to Sha Tin for 2 nights. So that was interesting. I slept on the floor with sister Schade. On our MTR rides back and forth we met a lot of people from mainland. So that was really cool, but also really hard because there isn't that much we can do for them....but if they're interested we will give them a pamphlet or book of mormon if we have one in simplified characters.
Sorry this is all over the place.
I am thankful for all your prayers. They are much appreciated. I am thankful for all you. I hope you all are well.
