Jesus Taught Us Not To Judge -- Week 73

Sooo we were out finding when we stopped this lady who refused to talk to us in Chinese, then she kindly told us how our church was a cult. She was very concerned for our welfare and told us to go to any other church. Suggestions included the protestant and Baptist churches. Anyway, she proceeded to ask where we were from. When I said Utah she then said, yes that's the headquarters and they all have one husband and multiple wives. At the conclusion she kindly said she would pray for us. And who couldn't use more prayers?

And then while talking to another lady, this drunk Australian man came and asked if we were Mormons. Then he told us so many random things that he had heard....which are all incorrect. Then he told us there is a musical about our church and we should go watch it. Then he said he won't judge us. Which is good because Jesus taught us not to judge hahahah.

This week has been full of moments and memories. Thankful for this opportunity that I have. Thanks for all your prayers. Love you all. Have the bestest week of your life.

Never a Point of No Return -- Week 72

So the coolest thing is just when I realize I'm here in Hong Kong just talking to people about Jesus Christ. The perfect person. And then get to also share about our perfect Father. One who knows us so much better than we know ourselves. One who can see much further than we can see. One who is there regardless of anything we do. Or anything we say. And there is never a point of no return.

And then I realize I'm doing this with my best friend. So not only is it the coolest experience of life, but also so fun. 

-We each ate 9 tacos and got 5 guys

-ate frozen cookie dough + goldfish + cheetos

-Did too many facemasks

-Laughed countless times

-Pointed to our tags...and mine had bird poop on it

-Made dinner and watched a show

-Saw our friends progress and Understand God more fully

-Looked for little ways to serve people

-Shared about hope and love in a world filled with distractions, and on the streets lined with dried fish and countless other things.

And so many others. And that's when you realize this whole thing is about the people. The children of our Father. Those precious souls. Keep looking for them, because we are promised we will find them, or they will find us. 

Hope you all have a great week. Thanks for the prayers. Love you all

(Sister Blake & Ellie went to Hong Kong Disneyland on this Pday.  They said it was quiet and no lines. they had a blast.  They've been wanting to go since they arrived in Hong Kong together from the MTC.  Now that they are companions for a bit, they decided to go.)

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.
