Leih hou!
Last week passed by so fast! Also, it was raining these past few days here in Hong Kong... So, how's everyone? 😊 Hopefully you had a good week. My week was okay. Still adjusting with missionary life and of course the language. My trainer is kinda homesick (she's going home in 2 months) and it's not helping me 😐
Anyways, here's my [previous] week. Nothing much happened though...
July 9 Monday -
Had lunch with a returning (less-active) member. (The new PMG was out and some of the terms were changed). Instead of calling them "less-active", it's actually "returning member" now. 😊 Anyways, the lunch was my first yamchah (dimsum, dumplings, etc. fancy resto lol) here in Hong Kong.. Then in the evening, we had another ChengOut (meaning a lunch/dinner appointment...two in a day lol) Too much food for today lol. 😄 We shared a message about Plan of Salvation.
Scripture of the day: 2 Nephi 25:23
July 10 Tuesday -
Today was not so good day for me 😟 I started to feel inadequate and really struggling with the language. 😔 (Why is Cantonese so hard? Haha).. But then after saying a long prayer, I was comforted... At night, we visited...a returning member [who is] Filipino. We shared a message about God's love and How Heavenly Father is mindful of us. He know our strengths and our weaknesses. We shared John 3:16 and 2 Nephi 26:33 to her.
July 11 Wednesday -
For my Personal Study today, I read "Some things every missionary should know" by Elder Boyd K. Packer... Did CrossRoads (service) again. 😊 We were assigned in the clothing section and folded some pants and put those in the boxes. It's fun!.. They were playing songs of Bruno Mars, JB, Charlie Puth etc. and it's hard to resist not to sing along hahaha... Had another ChengOut with a member. 😁
Scripture of the day: Jacob 4:10-11
July 12 Thursday -
Taught a lesson today to "G". She's a person that we teach (investigator) who said she needs more time before her baptism --- January 25, 2019... We shared about Commitment and Covenant (Baptism - Covenant Path) and the talk of Pres. Nelson entitled "As We Go Forward Together"... At night, we visited a returning member, "W". He hasn't been going to church for the last 2 years but we were able to find the contact through our area book planner. We called him and shared a lesson about the importance of partaking the Sacrament (2 Nephi 18). He also Chenged us out. 😁
Scripture for today: Jacob 5
July 13 Friday -
Had Zone Conference today with President and Sister Phillips[the new Mission President and his wife]! It's my first zone conference haha... We talked about Faith - what, who should we have faith into, and some scripture verses/examples... Faith needs to be placed to the right person. If we have faith in Jesus Christ, the result will be salvation... Some of the scripture verses shared: 1 Corinthians 6:14, Moses 1, Luke 1, Moroni 7:31-33... Things will happen in His time and Heavenly Father knows what He's doing 😊 ... Had English class at night and the assigned missionaries chose the topic Monsters and Superstition beliefs haha --- cos it's friday the 13th! lol. Fun class.. There were 3 new people who showed up to the class, hopefully they'll come on Sunday.
Scripture of the day: 1 Nephi 1:20 --- If you have chosen Him, you are His chosen 😀
P.S Saw my MTC companion today - Sister McColgan! And I'm sooo happy. I missed her and our fun times together 😊
July 14 Saturday -
It was raining hard today!... Nothing much happened actually. We did our weekly planning and it took us 3 hours hahaha (when I was in MTC, I didn't think that weekly planning will take this long lol).. Did Finding in the afternoon.. Downloaded some Cantonese videos in LDS app haha.
July 15 Sunday -
Sacrament meeting was good... 😊 and one of the lady who went to the English Class last Friday was there today! Also "W" came! 😊 Great Sunday indeed... They said they had a great time and felt the Spirit. 😊
Scripture of the day: Mosiah 15:28 - Missionary Work! 😊
