Leihdeih seunggo singkeih hou ma? ๐ (How was last week?)
Updates/Highlights from last week:
Sept 3 Monday -
Just an ordinary P-Day ๐ After emailing, we went to...this place [that] has a dirty mall (that's how they call it lol). That place has a lot of cheap stuff. They have cheap gummy bears too haha soooo good!... At night, met with a potential [person of interest]. He wants us to teach him English cos his work is related to Logistics and they use English for their transactions. He said he doesn't have beliefs so we introduced our church and shared to him about prayer... It still amazes me to meet someone that doesn't have beliefs or doesn't even know who Jesus Christ is. Makes me do more missionary work ๐
Sept 4 Tuesday -
Had yamchah (dimsum restaurant) for brunch. "Kanye" chenged (dinner appointment) us today haha. He's one of those people who attends our English Class. He's a suksuk (old man) and the missionaries named him "Kanye" hahaha. He's a cool suksuk! Very funny but do not have much interest about the gospel. For him, church is good but it's just a place of comfort ๐ Hmmm.. At night, we taught Sister "T." (a returning member) piano hehe and shared a message on how we can develop our relationship with Heavenly Father. She was teary-eyed while we are sharing our thoughts. I know that she felt the Spirit as well ๐ I testified that we are all God's children and He loves us so much no matter who we are ๐

Sept 5 Wednesday -
Did Crossroads [service] today! ๐ We were assigned in the kitchen again hehe... Then in the afternoon, we did finding with our Zone and this time is in our area ๐ ... Oh! Me and my companions also had a funny experience today! Haha. Soooo, we went to a member's house for a cheng out / dinner appointment but it turned out that we are actually scheduled for tomorrow! Haha. (awkward). We were in front of their house and knocked on their door but no one's answering so we decided to reread their text hahaha and it says "See you on Thursday night." LOL fail hahaha. Missionary work really makes you forget what day is it na haha.

Sept 6 Thursday -
Had mission President's interview today. I asked him what will happen next transfer and he said he still doesn't know lol... but I have a feeling they'll white wash [the area next to us] and I'll stay in my original ward... Both of my companions are "dying" so I'll have a new companion next week ๐ ... At night, had cheng out with "N." Family and we also invited Brother "W." (a returning member). Brother "N." was actually the one who baptized "W." ๐ We shared a message about Faith and used Ether 12:4. Committed everyone to continue praying, reading the scriptures, and come to church.

Sept 7 Friday -
Taught a recent convert today and used Mosiah 24:12-16. She said she's been struggling a lot and is worried for her mom's condition (she has kidney stones and gall stones) ๐ ... We bore our testimony that we know God will help us lift our burdens if we allow Him to do so... I know that Heavenly Father loves us so much and He will definitely help us overcome our trials and challenges... Ngohdeih yiu houdo seunsam (We need to have great faith).
Sept 8 Saturday -
Pictures: Relief Society activity - Cake rolls!
They look like giraffes or snakes. Hahaha!
The...Ward Relief Society Sisters had an activity today. We learned how to make cake roll haha fun! Had another chengout tonight and it was at Sister "A.'s" place. Hingdaih (Brother "A.") is a great cook! They served Chinese foods and we had mango meringue for dessert nyuuum. The Elders shared the message and we read Mosiah 27:36-37.

Sept 9 Sunday -
Another physical and spiritual draining day haha. We were at church for the whole day again... Uhmm, I have a very good news! [One of the people we are teaching]...the one who decided to have her baptism next year, will be baptized next Sunday on the 16th! Yuhooo ๐ We are so happy for her decision to finally not delay it. I know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are both happy for her as well ๐ ... Had another cheng out [with a] great family! We shared the message and used Enos 1:11-12 and committed them to think of someone that they can share the gospel with.
