Service after the Typhoon -- Week 16

Woah this week was good. Okay so this week was super good. We were super busy each day. But one day we decided that we wanted to make fried rice for lunch. So we had 30 minutes and we did it....but in the process Sister Johnson burned her hand like 12 times, lit a dish towel on fire, dropped an egg on the floor....I cut my hand and spilled rice all over. It was pretty great. 

This week we got the opportunity to do service after the typhoon. One day we went with a member to this area and helped clean up a homeschool place. It was so fun, and there were some cool people we got to talk to. We also helped clean up the church and the streets around the church. It was so good. I loved it.

Something super sad happened this week. We were at a members house, and brought a person we are teaching with us. After we ate we shared a message, and the spirit was so strong. Also the members were doing amazing. And then we were talking about how everything starts with a desire to learn more. We then asked her (the lady we are teaching) if she had a desire to learn more. She said No. So that was super sad. It shows that people have agency.

Also this week the Elders asked us if we could cover their Kids English class. We said sure, and so we went to go to the place where they have it. But you need a paper to get in. But we had a problem. They hid it under a bush because the week before they had to get someone else to cover, and that's how they gave them the paper.....but then there was a typhoon. So sister Johnson went and climbed inside the flower bed thing looking for this paper....we never found it. But it was pretty funny. Hopefully, this story made sense.

But this week was really good. We met this family a couple weeks ago, and invited them to church. But then there was a typhoon so the church was cancelled. So we just prayed that they would come the next week. And they did! But the week leading up to it we prayed about who would be a good fellow shipper for her, and Sister Johnson and I thought of the same family. So we called them and visited them and told them a little about our new friend, and daughters who would hopefully would come to church. And then they did come. And this family was perfect for them. And our new friends love the church. It was seriously so amazing! 

I love being here and being a missionary. Sometimes things are hard, but there is always good things in every day. Sometimes when we are walking back to our apartment at night we just talk about how much we love Hong Kong, and that it's unreal that we live here. That every day we get to share about Jesus Christ. That we are just so happy to be here doing this work.

I hope you are all doing well. Hope you all had a great week. Thank you for all the prayers they are much appreciated. Keep praying for the people of Hong Kong. Love you all.
