How is everyone? Everything here is still going great! Still having the best time of my life. This last week was exhausting. Because we are the Sister Trainer Leaders we had to go on exchanges twice this week. When I was a new missionary I thought that exchanges were the best thing ever. Now they are just kinda a maahfaahn (Bother). Sister Palmer left to go to the other areas both times this last week, leaving me to run the ship over here in Butterfly. I didn't realize how much I really depended on her. There is a reason that missionary work is done in companionship's. There is to much stuff that goes on for one brain to handle. But we pushed through the exhaustion and made it to lovely temple thursday!
The area is still doing pretty good. I didn't mess things up to much with Sister Palmer gone. :) Here is just a rundown of what we did this week, or I guess last week as well:
Last Tuesday: Had a fantastic and busy day. Taught Mandy about tithing, which she actually didn't take to well, was then able to teach an investigator that hasn't answered her phone in at least 3 months, and then went to a members for dinner where they invited their friend who actually has a pretty good amount of interest. :)
Last Wednesday: Went on exchanges with Sister Ho, who is actually going to serve at temple square next week! Go look for her! She is the best! :) Did some finding and taught our other young investigator Vanessa before games night
Last Thursday: Interviews with President Hawks. Guess what. I didn't cry. :)
Friday: Exchanges with Sister Probst. We went finding for a bit and met A-Yan! She was just walking on her way home. When we first went up to us she just kept shaking her head, which usually means like "go away" but for some reason we kept trying to talk to her, and the next thing we know we sat down on a bench down the way and taught her the Restoration! Then we went to teach Mandy again. She is still not so happy about tithing. boo. She will get over it. She just needs some time.
Saturday: Did a district display about family. We have 5 different banners that have like mom, dad, kids, marriage and family written on them. Because Chinese New Years is a time for families to be together, we will be doing a family display every saturday till the end of February. We were afraid that the cops were going to come over and tell us that we had to move from the spot we were in the market, but instead they just protected us from a random man that was shouting we were evil. So that was cool. The cops in Hong Kong got our back.
Sunday: I made that brownie mix you sent me in the rice cooker. They tasted good.
Monday: Ate lunch with Isis and then got fonged(stood up) by two new investigators. Did some good finding in a little village on the side of our area. Met a nice new mom named Ms. Jung
Tuesday: Taught Sister Wong, who was a potential investigator that Sister Palmer had met like 3 months ago but wasn't ever able to reschedule. We were able to teach her a fantastic Restoration message in her home and will see her againtomorrow. Then in the afternoon we did some finding by just showing a picture of a baptism and asking people if they knew what is was. That was interesting.
Yesterday: Did a couple hours of service folding some clothes and some more finding, but this time we showed pictures of prophets. Yesterday was a miracle finding day. We felt the spirit guiding us, and even though we didn't teach any street lessons we met a lot of really great people that I am sure will one day soon become new investigators. :)
Then today we get to go to the temple as soon as we are done emailing. So that is just a little taste of what has been going on the last week and a half. Sorry I don't write some great stories anything. I am just really lazy. :) The weather has been fantastic! I couldn't tell you exactly what the temperature is, but it is very comfortable. Perfect cardigan weather. Sometimes just a little bit colder. It is great. The language is still coming along. Sister Palmer and I are currently doing a week long English Fast. It is kinda hard, but it is helping us realize words that we don't know and focus more on things that are the most important.
OK.... well I love you all!
Talk to you real soon!
