Hey everyone! 你好!
How is everyone?
Things over in HK are so good!
This week went by so fast. Like every week unfortunately.
Sorry this email is going to be a bit short...
Here are the highlights!
-As we sat down to do our closing finding
prayer, this boy walked up to us and said, excuse me, are you from the church
of latter day saints? We said yeah! Then he asked if we were from Utah and went to byu...
Turns out this kid had looked up just about everything you could about the
church. He had seen us talking to a couple that ended up being Jehovah
Witness, and wanted to know what we were doing. He knew SO much about the
church and missionary life. So we sat him down and taught him the Restoration,
which of course he already knew about. Then he asked how we could keep so many
rules for ourselves, so we explained that when you know these things are true,
you want to keep them. Then we talked about the spirit. I asked him, how to you
feel right now? He said... when you were talking about Joseph Smith I felt like
I wanted to cry, but I dont know why. He was SOOO good. I thought he was a
member just trying to pull the missionaries leg, but we could literally see the
spirit moving inside of him.
- We taught Sister Lee this week. She is a
tough one to teach since her Cantonese is not so good. I can really only
understand about 10-20% of what she says. The member gets about 60. But when we
went over to her house her daughter was there! So we got to teach both her and
her daughter! :)
- One night while finding, this lady came up
to us as we were talking to this grandma and her granddaughter. At first she
was just amazed that we were speaking Chinese, then she went off on how she
wanted to go to America ,
but then at some point we sat down with her and started chatting. Turns out her
husband had died 7 years ago. This lady was Christian and Christ has helped her
a lot in the past, as we taught her the Restoration we were able to teach her
about temple work. She had already see the temple in Kowloon all the time and said that she
sometimes goes over there to pray. We taught her about how she can be with her
husband forever and how she can help him be baptized.
What an amazing gospel we have. I am amazed by
it everyday. I cant believe I get to be a messenger of such an amazing message.
I love it here. I love everything about it.
I of course also love all of you.:)
Happy Easter!
