The week where I spent half my time not in my area!

This week was SOOOOO busy!  This email probably won't make much sense to you guys, but let me explain why.  Almost everyday we went up to Kowloon Tong (which is where the mission office is) which is 45 minutes away.  It doesn't sound like a long time, but believe me time is precious and a lot of it was spent traveling :(

• Tuesday- Had district meeting up there since our district is split, half on the island and half in Kowloon.  We also met with a new investigator, and at one point in the lesson he was like, "Have you heard about this one church, the Mormons, I heard they like super reject the bible and they're a cult, and supposedly they're here in HK." Sister Clark and I just look at each other and I go, yup that is us.. we are also called mormons!  Sister Clark later told me she wanted to tell him, but as you can see, we just handed you a bible, and we're sitting in our very nice church building that a cult is legally not allowed to own in good ol' HK soooooo.... maybe it's another church?' ;) Haha oh the things people hear about the church!  We were able to tell him the truth and he ended up coming to church on Sunday so I think he believed us!

• Wednesday- We had MLC 

• Thursday- Visitors!

• Friday- Meet with the ZL to discuss about the upcoming zone conference

• Saturday- Teach Marlo and accompany her to her baptismal interview

Luckily these were all great reasons to be in Kowloon though!

Yesterday was also an exciting Sunday as a visitor we had taught previously came back and got baptized AND she brought 6 friends with her to learn more!  Along with that there was a member from Beijing who brought 20 or so "investigators" who were interested in learning more!  When I asked him how he did it, he gave a very simple response, "I just try to set a good example and share when I feel prompted".  Again, I would like to emphasize how important we as members really are!

So during the second hour of church we taught the Restoration and during the third hour we taught The Plan of Salvation in "little" groups of about 8-10!  It was so amazing to see that many people attend church especially with how small our branch is.  It was filled with people eager to learn and the spirit was SO strong during that meeting, it was an absolutely amazing experience!​​​​​​​​

The last couple visitors that I have had know almost nothing about the gospel, but what they do know and what they are certain of is that this church is different and that they are a child of a Heavenly Father who loves them.  This really pushes them to have a great desire.  I am always amazed by their faith and their desire to follow Christ!  Such humble people ahh so awesome!

​​​​​​​​​​​​What an amazing week it was to be a missionary!  Thank you for all your love and prayers!
