stretching hearts

wow it was so good to talk to everyone on mothers day! I can't believe I already called you. Time is weird. It feels like that call never really even happened. I miss you all so much and am so excited to see you all again. 

But don't worry I am still fully enjoying the time here in Hong Kong! The weather is getting more and more humid by the min, and hotter and hotter by the day, but the miracles still are coming in. 

This morning I actually went back in time and went back to Cheung Sha Wan and my last area. I knew that Sister Yip hadn't seen the missionaries in a long time and last week I felt like I should call her, so last night I called her to her surprise and scheduled to see her on our P-day. :) 

She is still so good. I love her so much! She just thinks that the commandments are to hard so hasn't been going to church because she feels guilty. But she has seen how much the gospel has changed her son and wants him to keep going to church. Actually King, her son, wants to keep going to church. :) We had a good long chat and she said that this sunday she will go to church. :)

When I called the Cheung Sha Wan sisters to let them know, they also were able to give me some updates on how everyone is doing. Sister Chan, with cancer, (do you remember her?) anyway is getting baptized in June also Wannie Ng, who had disappeared because she got offended by someone has come back and is also getting baptized really soon. I had thought that both of these people had lost any sort of contact with the missionaries, but they are here! And they are progressing!!!! It makes me so happy to know they are still around. :)

It is weird to feel so much love for so many people. I literally feel like my heart is in so many different places and with so many different people. Cheung Sha Wan, Butterfly, Home, Sham Shui Po, Sheung Shui, Tai Kok Tsui... not only in different places, but with different people. If there is one thing a missionary learns, it is how to stretch and grow a heart. It is a painful process but it is so worth it and brings amazing blessings. I am so grateful for everyones love. I can honestly say that I love everyone as well. I love you all!
