Happy fathers day pops! Fuhchan yaht faailohk!!!!
I love you all so much and I am so blessed to have you as my father! I sent you a postcard in the mail. I hope that it gets to you sometime.
This week has been much much better than last week. It has been raining alot, but it makes it much cooler so I am ok with that. Except it makes it kinda hard to go finding when everyone has umbrellas up that they can use as shields. But no problem,that is why we go to bridges that have coverings. :)
It was a long week of finding. Finding is hard work, but it needs to be done. Finding is a hard, but it is a time of miracles. We have met some really cool people this week. Some are just..... characters. Last Tuesday we were finding over in this area of apartments, it was almost time to head home, but i said we needed to talk to 2 more people before we got on the train to go home. We went over to talk to this girl who was just standing there waiting for a friend. ... she rejected us. eh. oh well... then when we turned around to look for one more person, this man came up to us and said "you are Mormon-gau?" We then looked at each other in surprise and said "The Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints. that is just a nickname. (which in Hong Kong is not a very good nickname cause Mormon means devil door)" So we explained a little bit about the Book of Mormon. And the man, his name was John, was like I want to know more about this book. But is it necessary to read the entire thing to know what is inside?" We were like we would LOVE to explain to you about this book. So we scheduled a time to meet with him. He wanted to meet at his apartment but we told him we couldn't unless we have another male with us, so he said we could meet him in the common area gardens
on Friday. Oh John. He is kinda weird. He likes to try and speak English with me. He is weird, but has a strangely large interest in learning about the gospel. Anyway...
Friday. We had the Elders come with us, cause we thought it would be best to turn him over to the Elders. So when i called John to ask if that was ok, and if we could meet at his house he said this about 10 times with his Chinese accented English, slightly yelling, "OHHHHHHHHHH, SO BECAUSE YOU HAVE A MALE. A MALE. A MALE. YOU CAN COME INTO MY HOUSE. BECAUSE A MALE. YOU WONT HAVE TO WORRY WORRY FOR YOUR LIFE." I was cracking up on the other side of the phone. When we got to his house with the Elders the first thing he said to me was "If you are worried for your life, you should learn Kungfu." and that started off the lesson. He is probably in his 60s, lives with his brother Philip probably also in his 60's and they take care of their parents, who are paralyzed and super old. They are funny. But weird. But they said if they learned that the Book of Mormon was true that they would have no problem being baptized.
So thats John. We also met Mrs. Lok. She is a Catholic, we taught her the Restoration and gave her a book of Mormon and she seemed really excited about it. But like 15 min after our lesson she called us and said she wanted to give the book back because it was so different from the Bible. Choi Jimuih tried to smooth things out over the phone, but she still wanted to give the book back. I tried to schedule her last night, but she said that she thinks her Catholic church is enough. She thinks they are all the same. I talked with her for a good 20 min just trying to help her see how important phrophets, preisthood and more knowledge about our savior Jesus Christ is. But she really just doesnt want it right now. I was pretty bummed, but I know one day she will open back up that Book of Mormon and feel something.
