Cheung Sha Wan

How is everyone?!

Cheung Sha Wan and our companionship is still doing wonderfully. Dad, I had that same fear for the next upcoming Tuesday (Transfer announcements), but this last transfer has been super weird and then moved all the sisters that were moving this morning. So that means Sister Wilcox and I will be staying together in Cheung Sha Wan for another 9 weeks!!!! HURRAY!!!! I was super stressed out all weekend, cause things are just starting to get great. Everyone else said I was silly to worry cause sister Wilcox and I have not yet been together for an entire transfer. But I no longer have need to worry. :) I love Cheung Sha Wan and working with sister Wilcox. 

I was just companions with Sister Ainge for a day. It was weird. She works in a crazy area. But it was fun. We played volleyball together for exercise in the morning. :) some old people got mad at us.

You all already watch conference?! Sometimes I forget that we are a week behind... yeah, we will watch it this upcoming Saturday and Sundayin our chapel. Last time they set it up in English so that we could watch it, so I will assume that they will in Kowloon Tong as well. I am super excited! Can you believe that a year ago... I started working on my papers. Holy Freak! I feel like it was just yesterday. Time goes by so fast. I dont know what I am going to do when this is all over... weird. Actually... I had a dream about that the other night. I was at home, and all the new to Hong Kong missionaries were staying at our house. Dad was going to make breakfast for them, and wanted me to help but I could only cry, cause my mission was already over, so Dad thought he would comfort me by telling me to go buy some Asian fruit. Then I woke up and was super happy that I was still in Hong Kong. :) 

We have started working with some awesome people this last week, and we are going to work with some more new ones this week. On SundayWuh Jimuih was able to come to church with us. I had contacted her walking through an apartment estate. She had just said that she is Christian and that she would try going to our church. I didnt get a chance to teach her or anything, just got her number and gave her the church address. Last week she couldnt come cause she was going out to eat with her husband, but then this week she said that she would. So we waiting at the MTR (train station) and we were able to walk to the church together! She stayed for all 3 hours, even though she had just worked all night cleaning for her job. After she said that she wanted me to meet her daughter sometime this week. She kept asking me why our church is different and why are there so many other churches, so we taught her the Restoration and she loved it. The Sisters in our ward love her, so she already has awesome fellowshippers. She is super golden. The only problem is.... she came from Mainland 10 years ago and her first language is Mandarin. Super poopy. So we have to turn her over to the Mandarin sisters. Man. People from mainland are so prepared it is ridiculous. Alot of mainlanders do have pretty darn good Cantonese, but President Hawks wants everyone taught in their native tongue, so that means the Mandarin sisters have to be pretty darn busy. It is good. Just sometimes frustrating. It is cool though. 

One of our wards recent converts A-lan said yesterday that her only wish is for Mainland to have a temple. A-lan said that if she had good legs (which she doesnt, in fact she is missing one...), if she had good legs, she would go around to every house in mainland, knock on their doors and say "Help us build a temple!". 

We are so blessed to have a temple here in Hong Kong. Even more blessed at home in Utah. Keep doing those temple names!:) 

I love you all! 

Gai yauh!

PS. the cookies turned out wonderfully. I little weird cause we used red sugar instead of brown sugar, but still super tasty. :) That cheese was like the best thing ever. It made it just fine! If you put more of it in that Christmas package I wouldnt complain. :) 

I want Luna.
