English or Chinese -- Week 69

Hello! Another week filled with so many miracles.

We were just sitting on the MTR tryna go to church, and there was the cutest little girl. Sister Blake and I just made faces at her and counted with her and sang baby shark. It was seriously so cute. The parents loved it and it was so happy. 

We were at church all day yesterday so we ate popcorn, gummies, and crackers for lunch and then laughed at how much sugar we ate.

Had this kid come 30 minutes late. He told us all his experiences, and we got to tell him about the God we know. About his church. The plan he has created for us, and why prophets are so important. He asked so many good questions we ended up giving him the Restoration and Plan of Salvation pamphlet, and the Book of Mormon.

One day we were sitting outside this mall doing studies, and this girl came with her camera. Started taking pictures of the lights. I looked at sister Blake and said "English or Chinese?" she said English because she doesn't know how to talk about photography in Chinese. Anyway she was the cutest girl ever. Just tryna make the best our of life. We got to share about prayer and how God will really help us.

Also conference was soo good. Hope you all enjoyed it! Thanks for everything you all do, and the prayers and support. Hope you have the best week ever.

Pray for Hong Kong -- Week 68

Hello! This week was super good. Just so many miracles everyday.

 But if you all remember about a year ago I left for this crazy adventure, and guess what, this week I get put back with one of mtc comps sister Blake! I'm so excited!

We also have a friend who should be baptized at the end of this month, so that'll be good. She's seriously so cute, and just loves God.

Thanks for all of you and your support. Thanks for the prayers. Keep praying for Hong Kong. Love you all. Have the best week.

PS.  The street picture of Starbucks is from the protesting this weekend.  Protestors smashed the windows from the Starbucks building, along with damaging multiple other places this past weekend.  We are still safe.  We have curfews and we are respectful of what's going on around us.  But for 2 transfers they haven't sent the MTC missionaries, so we are dwindling.  Please pray for the people of Hong Kong and missionary work in Hong Kong.  

Chlorine Changes Skin Color -- Week 67

Hello. I was on exchanges up in the New Territories area, and we were walking and I'm with this sister who is from Thailand who leaves in 2 days. Anyways I asked her if she liked swimming and she said "yes but inside" (she doesn't like getting darker). But then she continued to say "but even inside I still get dark because of the chlorine." I just started laughing then I disagreed and she just told me it's because our skin is different. It was so funny.

Also this week a member gave us a jar of nuts from Costco, and she looked at me and said, "you will like these because they are from your home country" hahah

Just remember God is good. He loves each and everyone of us. If we let Him, he will guide us throughout everyday. 

Love you all. Have the best week. Thanks for all you do.

Tagalog Work -- Week 66

Magandang umaga! Kumusta po kayo?

This week has been full of exchanges and miracles and learning. Went on one exchange in tagalog work. It was so fun. Even though I had no idea what was going on, the spirit led me to know what to say. Which was super cool. 

Also had so many experiences when we prepared to share something, and then either right before or in the lesson we shared something different....because the spirit whispered that what we prepared wasn't quite right, and something else was better. 

Thank you all for everything you do. Thanks for your prayers and support. Love you all.

Never Leaves Us Alone -- Week 65

Hey not a ton of time, but just wanna share super-fast about an experience.

So we do this thing called language pass offs and it's to practice teaching basically. I was the one to evaluate this cute sister. She is from Philippines. So she taught me the plan of salvation and it was SO GOOD. Seriously. You could just feel her testimony and her hope and belief....okay backstory super-fast. Her mom passed away a couple of weeks ago...at the end she just looked at me and said "I miss my mom." we both just cried together she said "it's hard to be strong." We talked about how thankful we are for the knowledge of this plan. I told her I know she will see her mom again and that she is here with her.

I am thankful for the knowledge that this life isn't the end. That God has so much more in store for us. And never leaves us alone.

Thanks for all the prayers! Love you all! Have the best week you've ever had.

Live Life To The Fullest -- Week 64

Well hello. How is everyone?

This week was good! Lots of miracles and things. Know that God is good. He loves us. Each and every single one of us.

Here's a quick experience from yesterday. Super cool. 

Sunday night window at sai ying pun. I went with sister Teo. We had been walking a road for 30 min and only a few willing to stop for a sec. We realized we ended up in Central, and so decided to turn around. When there was this girl walking by us. I told her I liked her dress....started talking for a sec and we ended up having the conversation in English. At first she said she was in a hurry to get home so I just wrote her a Flier. While doing so sister teo kept talking to her. We ended up talking for 30 min on a street corner. We got to share about God. How he loves us each and everyone of us. That he listens to our prayers. We talked about life and how hard and confusing it is. But how God answers prayers. How if we center out lives on Christ no matter what happens  around us we will be okay. How God will never abandon us. How we just need to hold on to hope. How our purpose as missionaries was to just talk to her. That this is what we do. Walk around and try to talk to people and share with them. 

Hope everyone has the best week. Remember God is there for you. Live life to the fullest. Also S/O to Tanner who had a birthday this week. You are so old. Love you.

Thanks for all the support. Thanks for the prayers.

Ding ding -- Week 63

Well hello. This week was sooo good. Just so many happy moments. Sad to say goodbye to the people in my last area, but so good to be here in west point. Here are a few moments of light. 

riding the ding ding the first day on the island. Talked to this Korean family. Seriously so happy. Just love them. They barely spoke English and I don't know Korean, but they knew I was Christian. Just smiled and took selfies.

Saw this girl on the ding ding...knew I had to talk to her. Touched her arm...you don't do that in HK...and asked where she bought her bracelet. Had a solid conversation about life. How hard it is, but how God loves us.

a girl walking away. Know I have to talk to her, but don't know how to stop her without sprinting after her. So I open my "can I ask you a question" comes out. she stops and turns around. We talk. Share about our church. Why it's different. She was super willing to share about her religious beliefs. We talk about God and our purpose on life. So good.

Just remember that God is in the details of all our lives. He is living and will guide and direct us. No matter who we are, or what we have done he will reach out to us when we lean on him and trust him. 

Thanks for all the prayers! Love you all. Have the best week
