Another week full of
ups and downs! This week we got fang by 6 of our investigators for
reasons we are not entirely sure why.. they just had “other things they needed
to do". It was SO frustrating!
After a day of
getting cancelled on 2 times we had a lot of extra time to do finding. We
were told by other sisters of "Book of Mormon finding," so we decided
to try that idea. All you do is stand on the bridge right next to our
house with a poster of a Book of Mormon, books of Mormon’s and lesson
pamphlets. You then stay silent and wait for people to come to you.
I have to admit I
was a bit iffy about this idea at first as HK people tend to mind their own
business and are always in a rush. That is simply the culture here
It was amazing
though because people actually came up to us and we were able to hand out 5
books of Mormon to people who were all really interested. One lady after
passing us came back and told us we had this light around us and exemplified
God that made her come back. We then find out that she is an artist and
every year she enters in to an oil painting contest in Australia and has to
paint about religion. She asked to take a picture of us and paint us for
this art contest! She said she would post in on her facebook page
(baoying Li) when she finished! So look out I may become famous! :)
The other big event
this week was that Zhao Jiemei got baptized! She was investigating the
church for about a year and told everyone that her husband was the reason she
could not get baptized. When sister Grover turned her over to the island
mandarin elders to work with (as they were already working with her son) they
found out that this was not her "real" concern and were able to
resolve her real ones! It was such a treat to be able to watch her
excitement and happiness to finally get baptized and enter into this covenant
with her Heavenly Father! To join the church she knew to be true.
I love this work
and am truly blessed to have the privilege of serving and representing my
Savior. This gospel is truly the biggest blessing and happiness just
exudes from all that learn and grow within it.
我爱你们!

Culture fact: As I
said before umbrellas are great to block out rain, sun and missionaries. Not
only this but most Popo's (grandmas) always carry around their umbrellas
because they make it with a rubber stopper on the end of them so it doubles as
a cane!
