I am sorry to here about Caleb's mom. But I am really happy to see everyone together. :)
This morning we got to watch the dragon boat races! I dont really know the history of why they have them, but we watched a couple of them and called it good. They have about 40 people on one long boat and they race a few hundred meters. We are all sweating like pigs over here. Everyday is like a rice cooker outside. It is great!
I dont even know what to write about anymore.... sorry....
We went over the Sabbath day again with Tammy because she is getting so close to baptism but has to leave right before our sacrament meeting to go to work. We were getting a bit scared because we had taught it last week, but nothing changed, so we went over it again with her a bit more in detail and she said that she would be able to stay for half of sacrament meeting. Sundays are really truly impossible for her to get off. She sells furniture. But even when she gets vacation time she still has to work on Sundays. Everyone does. Hong Kong work life is crazy. I dont know how people can do it.
We taught Sister Lee, but we didnt have a place to teach her cause her family didnt want us in their house and our members mom had physical therapy in her house. So our member pulled out her living room table and stuck in it the hallways and thats where we taught her. haha the member even made dumplings, so it was like we were having a picnic in the middle of some government housing. :)
We got to cook with one of our LAs. This LA is one of the sassiest HK people I have ever met. She is SUPER funny. I love her, but she is a punk when it comes to coming to church. SO many excuses that are so not good excuses. I really like to keep digging till they have no excuse left so this is how our conversations go...
me: have you read the book of Mormon lately?
LA: oh I have been so busy lately
me: what are you doing to make you so busy?
LA: taking care of my grandkids
me: how old is he again?
LA: 12
me: so he goes to school right? what do you do during that time?
LA: I gotta buy groceries and cook food
me: hmmmmm... well you should still have you know like 2 min or so you can read a verse or two right?
LA: But then I have been whatsapping (do they have whatsapp in America?) one of my old classmates.
Man. she is so good at changing the subject. But the good thing about sassy straight up people is the fact that you can do it right back. I love it. It is probably something I should do less of. I will work on it.
But this week has been great! Filled with pizza with chopstix, basses on bicycles and sweat marks all around.
I love you all!
