Ma & Pa!

Hey family!
Thanks for always writing letters to me, even though my letters home are never to great. I love hearing about how everything is going. The last 3 days have been great! Everyday is great as a missionary.
The temple was great, like always, I love that place so much. Sometimes I start to get just a wee bit homesick when the session starts, cause usually it is with my family and friends, but this time, right as it was starting someone behind me burped really loud, and I remembered I was still in Hong Kong. A blessing and a curse. :)
Friday was a super busy day. We went on exchanges again, so Sister Morgan and I were left to run Butterfly. We had a really busy day. We got to teach a lesson/ have lunch with Isis down at the Ferry Pier. She is so good. She hasnt quite gained her testimony yet, but she asked her boss if she could have Sundays off so that she could come to church. Unfortunately her boss said that she could have Sundays off when he finds someone to hire in her place. As in... when she is fired. So... Isis said hopefully she can save up enough money really quickly and will be able to quit her job.
We also got to teach Vanessa before English class. She is also doing really good. She wants to know if these things are true, and loves everything so far. The only problem with Vanessa is that she is only 15 and her parents are very traditional Buddhists. So we cant give Vanessa a date until she talks with her parents.
Saturday we did the Family Display again. We took over an entire bridge. With 6 missionaries, we took over both ends of the bridge between the park and the mall over the train station. We talked to alot of people. I dont think anyone got through that bridge without talking to at least one missionary. :)
Sister Palmer and I did some more finding after that. Right after we said our closing prayer, this lady come up to us and started talking to us. The next thing we knew she was singing "Total Eclipse of the Heart" to us... She was SUPER funny. She ran off before we could get her number. we were sad.
Last night we ate dinner over at the Au families. They cooked a huge traditional Chinese dinner. (You will have to look at all of sister Palmers pictures. I hope that you copy and paste them onto the blog...  I just feel like there is never a real reason to get out everyones cameras....) But the dinner was fantastic. Their kids are the cutest kids I have ever met in my entire life. I did the magic trick that Uncle Mark used to do where you rub the coin into your arm, and the entire family was loving it. So I taught it to their kids so they could do it later. :)
Things are still great over here. I love it SO much!!!!
Sister Wilcox just sent me a picture of Fantasy's baptism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am SO excited for her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The work is great!
Love you all!
