Wow this week was good. First off I tried so many different foods. I ate chicken feet, stomach, liver, lung, and intestine. I also ate vegetarian pig stomach....so I don't really know how that works. But yeah. Many different foods....but I really don't like liver. It's not good at all. It tastes like a gross sponge.
We have the cutest girl we are teaching who will be baptized next week! We are so excited. We have had the opportunity to meet with her everyday this past week except Monday. It has been so good. She is the one with the twin sister. I love her so much. I feel like we have a lot of the same experiences...every single day I am so happy to meet with her. Also sometimes we help her do her homework....in high school I would help people with math....I should have know I would do the same here. It's so funny because I know how to do the problems, but I have very limited Chinese. So hopefully she understands. She says she does, and Sister Johnson is also a lot of help. So it works out....I think.
Also this week one of our wards had a relief society activity. It was a "hike." So we went with them, and it ended up being really good, and we were able to strengthen our relationships with the members....but it was literally a nature walk. hahah I thought it would be an actual hike. I should have known because it was with a bunch of old ladies....
Also this week we had an FHE and it was really good....except for the fact that half of the time was spent talking about marijuana. I never thought I would listen to others talk about it in Chinese....so I guess that is a fun experience....Oh we also played 2 truths and a lie. The elders had someone they are teaching with them, and one of his things he said was "I have three wives." Everyone just laughed....and we are all thankful that that wasn't true.
This week I also went on exchanges again with Sister Law. I moved to Fanling for a day. We met this really funny lady. She was trying to ask for help with something on her phone, but neither of us understood what she was saying. So then I just changed the subject and asked her about her family and stuff. We ended up talking for like 20 minutes in broken Chinese. But it was good. She was super cute and nice.
Oh also I had to give a training this week in district council. I was to pick a section of scriptures and then lead a discussion about it....I changed what I was suppose to do, and made everyone pick their favorite scripture about Jesus and then tell why. I just like when everyone shares and I could feel the spirit as we talked about Christ. I don't know about everyone else, but I thought it went okay.
Anyways thanks for all the prayers and support. I am so thankful for you all. I love being here in Hong Kong. I love being a missionary. There are hard things, and hard days, but I truly am so happy. Thank you all. Love you guys.
