Transfers are in!

So luckily (or not so lucky) move calls came in today and Sister Grover will be heading back up to Kowloon!  Sister Colombel (who has only been out 6 months) and I will become companions on the island.  I am excited for the change and believe this will be a great opportunity for us both to really improve our language and not have to rely on our "senior" companion, I will miss sister grover though!

So this week flew by, well this month flew by, but I have no idea where all the time went.  I will quickly share a thought.

Every Sunday we, with about 10 other missionaries, sing in a very public place. It is quite amazing the reactions and the amount of stares we get.  I like to think they are not staring at us because there are 12 foreigners, but because for a quick second they can feel the spirit.

Music is such an amazing way to invite the spirit and even if you don't understand the words you can still feel the spirit.  It is an amazing tool to contact and find and I have loved being able to do this every Sunday.

Yesterday we as an apartment were able to watch Elder Bednars talk from this past April Priesthood Session.  It was super powerful and just made me want to work that much harder.  I am called and set apart to the work.  Hong Kong is secondary to the call to work and to labor among His children.  It just really hit me that I have a very special calling as a missionary and it is so important that I utilize all the time that I have been given to wear this name tag and represent my Savior.

Fun fact:  The church is the same everywhere you go.  Just like home teaching; missionaries wait to do their exchanges until the end of the month as well.​​​​​​​​​​​​  This past Friday, every companionship we saw were on exchanges haha.

We met with Jimmy this week who is a golden investigator and we asked him if he prayed to know that Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God.  He replied in English (as he loves learning and speaking English) and says, "I usually pray in the name of Jesus Christ.  I haven't had the opportunity to do it in Josephs Smiths name." ...Boy do I love people who speak English as their second language :)

Well I think that is it for the week.

I love you all!
Sister Loo

Last week when we were moving and had to take apart beds!

Laiye (pronounced like Lai..kind of).  No one knows her real age as she will tell you she is 99, but people think she is 103.  She is still amazingly healthy and chooses to walk up stairs instead of use the elevator!  The culture fact is that people HATE to tell you their age and she always says 99 because they believe once you are 100 and admit to it you turn into a ghost.
