In the last week it turned from HK spring to HK summer. Blooming hot and random thunderstorms. Last night after we did some finding, we were coming home a bit later than we planned because we were teaching this girl that we met. But as we were heading over to the light rail the rain started coming down in buckets! Then as we were waiting for the train it was coming at us horizontally. People were trying to find shelter everywhere. I was loving it! I could help but laugh! It has been a long time since I have seen a big storm. Long story short by the time we got home we were soaking wet head to toe. :)
This last week we saw all sorts of miracles. I think one of the biggest ones was on Friday. We were on exchanges that day and I got to be with Sister Aguliar again. The last time I was on exchanges with her was almost a year ago when we had been in HK for like 2 weeks. It is crazy to see how much we have both changed. We kept reminiscing that day we were companions. It was a crazy miracle filled day. But anyway... we had rescheduled Tammy Tam, who we taught the Restoration to a couple of weeks ago in the park. But this time we were going to meet at the chapel and let her meet Sister Chan, one of our members. When we took Tammy into the chapel and she saw Chan jimuih they both just paused and looked at each other. "You?!" They said. Turns out they used to work together over 10 years ago and were good friends. Tammy was so excited she already had a friend in the church. The rest of the lesson went amazingly well and we were able to give Tammy a baptismal date for June 8th! I am so excited for her! She is so good!
Here are just a couple other miracles from the week:
2 ladies in one evening said how much happier they were when we talked to them, even though they might not have given us a chance to teach them.
During email last week the fire alarm went off, and yet not one person moved. Miracle there wasnt really a fire.
We met a NICE Christian who we were able to share the message of the Restoration with and give her a BOM
The last fellowshipper we wanted turned out to be perfect for the needs of our investigator
We never ran into the Elders while finding in the same apartment estate. (our area is that small) :)
We got to help someone move their flat! Hurray for service!
Choi Lai Wah (the LA that has changed SOOOOO much) said to herself that she complains alot. I almost fell off my stool
After Wong Jimuih our investigator that is never home for the times that we schedule her, after she told us she wouldnt be home, only a hour before our lesson, was walking the path that we just happened to be finding in. We were then able to teach her a lesson.
Rainie, who said she didnt want to learn the gospel anymore is still SUPER nice. We took her a BOM story book and a picture. Man, I wish she would just come to church.
Kong jimuih brought her neighbor with her to church! We taught her a little bit about prayer afterwards, but she is really hard to teach. We all thought at first that she was a mandarin speaker cause she has a mandarin accent, but turns out she doesnt know any Mandarin. She just speaks her home village tong and has learn Cantonese since she has been in HK. Man, China is a crazy place.
These are just a few of the awesome things that happened this week. Every week is the best. I cant ever do it justice in one short email. sorry about that. But I hope this gives you just a little glimpse of the amazing things I get to witness every day. I am so grateful to be a part of God's wonderful amazing army!
I love you all!
