But this week went by in the blink of an eye. I literally have no idea where the time goes.
Last Monday we were planning on hiking one of the tallest mountains in HK but then the Elders that were going to show us where to go bailed on us, so we just ended up going up to the top of this hill that is covered with graves over in Tin Shui Wai. It was still really fun. :)
Tuesday we were able to FINALLY see Isis again. She has been so busy with school and work that we havent seen her for almost two months. But we had a fantastic lesson with her and she is going to come to church next week. :)
Wednesday we got to meet with Cheung pohpoh jimuih. She is this older lady that has now been to church a couple of times but we havent really been able to schedule her and teach her. the lesson was pretty good, except when we asked her if she had ever heard of baptism she said, "Oh I wont be baptized." flat out like it was no big deal. why? "My daughter is Buddist, I cant be baptized, she doesnt like these things." We promised her that as she comes to know that what we teach her is true that she will want to be baptized and that her relationship with her daughter will improve. By the end of the lesson we were able to give her a BOM, where before she wouldnt take one, because of her daughter. She will come along... we just need to have some patience and some faith. :)
Remember a couple weeks ago, actually I dont think that I wrote about it.... but anyway... we had met this man named Andy Lau and taught him the Restoration on the street. At that time he said that he really needed to think about what we had said, because if it is true that means he will need to change his life. He told us to give him a week before we called him. So a week went by, and I called him. We were able to schedule him for Saturday and turned him over to the Elders. It was great! He is so good!
Nothing else to exciting this week. ... I mean for me everyday is exciting, but I dont know what you all find exciting... nothing out of the usually this week just
-talked with a dad who had the smallest 5 month old I had ever seen sitting in his lap with a beer in his hand
-ran away from some other Arabic men that happen to know sister Palmer
-had someone sneeze, spit or splash water all over my back while I was eating my beef and veggies bowl
-watched little kids pull on sister Palmer's eyelashes
-tried to talk to a women who was wiping her dogs butt
and so on....
Being a missionary is great. I am enjoying every second of it.
I love you all!
