Hello all!
so at the beggining of the past week, i was sick it started with my throat, then running nose, headache. it was not really the good time to get sick. actually mission is not a good time to get sick!!!. but we were able to still work hard and i felt that the lord blessed us.
on tuesday, we could not schedule any lessons so we had 3 to 4 hours of finding. when we first started we did not have any success but then in my heart i was constantly praying and also telling heavenly father that he knows how sick i was but i was still working hard for him so he needed to help us. and so 30 mins before we planned on going back to our apartment, we were walking when we heard a mom and her son speaking mandarin, we stopped and talked to them we talked about english class and then she asked us what we were doing here in hong kong speaking mandarin, she saw that we were working for jesus christ (she does not know a lot about him but she alreardy heard the name), we introduced to her the purpose of our work, the church and shared with her a little bit about the gospel how it related to her and how it can help her, we exchanged numbers to be able to reschedule them. her name is xie ( xiexie= thank ).
on friday, we met with molly (our amazing investigator), she is so ready. we asked the senior couple missionnaries (the holmstead were recently assigned to our wan chai mandarin branch, they came to hong kong 2 weeks ago, they were called to be in charge of less actives but coming here they also wanted to help us with her lessons so they came and help, it was great. when we first started she said she wanted to offer the opening prayer then she wanted to share the experience she has had last week with the book of mormon, she was late for school and missed the bus she was supposed to take and the next one was supposed to come 20 mins after but what was her surprise when she started reading the book of mormon while waiting for the next bus, the bus she was waiting for came only a few minutes after. she was so happy sharing her experience with us. we taught her about the gospel of jesus christ and baptism, we invited her to pray about a baptismalŠ¹ goal and so this friday we are going to discuss about a baptismalŠ¹ goal. you have no idea how happy and grateful we are to have her. we learn to appreciate those moments because they are rare.
this past week, we contacted our investigators they dont really have time but i am always happy to talk to them to laught and everything. i love them even when somtimes its fustrating.
this past saturday, we celebrated the rs birthday it was great we went to the peak to a park somewhere we ate some snacks had some questions-answers game then we went hiking.
yesterday, we were helping the tagalog speaking sisters we got to know rheir investiagtors april and extended a baptismalŠ¹ date for april 29th. we spent our whole day at church. 9 to 12 was mandarin branch then 12;30 to 130 the elders investigator baptism, kate. 1:30 to 6;30 we were with sister salangad on a tripanionship and celebrated the rs anniversary with the sisters too.
