Well the Hong Kong temple is.. uhh small, but still super pretty. The temple is truly the house of the Lord. I love that the gospel is the same everywhere you go!
After we went to a Korean BBQ and it was $138. Now in American dollars that is super cheap but you have to remember that we are ballin' on a budget on the mission so it was a treat for us. We went as an apartment and it was so good. I hope they have a place like that in Oregon!
Today because Chinese New Year is this week is deep clean day. So we basically spend all day and I mean all day cleaning our apartment. It is tradition that the Chinese people do this right before Chinese New Year so we do the same haha. I am happy though because it needs to be done.. a house of order is a house of God :)
We have a new investigator this week whose name is Lin Nan. She is studying at HKU and is only here for one semester, but has so much potential! We have taught her the restoration and she said she believes it and feels it sounds "more right" than her current Buddhism beliefs. She even came to church and loved it!
One of our newer investigators Michelle also came to church yesterday and it was truly a miracle! Her husband is in town and she was afraid and also did not know how to tell him that she and her son have started taking lessons and if he would allow them to continue because he is CEO of some company and likes to control things. We were SO excited and I am so thankful that she had enough faith to ask and to have the desire to come to church!
I know lots of times with us (those of us who are active members) we go to church and it is super repetitive and often times we arent paying attention, are not applying ourselves. She comes and really feels of the spirit that is there and pays attention to all the speakers so that she truly is being spiritually rejuvenated.
I would hope that we all can make a more concscious effort to make the Sabbath a Holy day, a "different" day. A day where we rest from our labors and focus on spiritually re-charging as church and partaking of the sacrament allows us to do this.
Wo ai nimen!

P.S. English class this week a different girl said to me "your skin looks 16". Not sure if that is a compliment or not, but at least it only my skin that looks 16 this week and not me! Hahaha :)
