It's email day again ๐ How are y'all doing? First off, I have a new companion now. Second, I am getting fat hahahaha ๐ Third, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone! ๐
Anyways, this is my update from the last four days
(Thurs-Sunday):
Sept 20 Thursday -
Had transfers today and got my new companion, Sister Frandsen. It was heartbreaking to send off my trainer Sister Ramboz and my other companion Sister Lee ๐ข I just love them so much but I know it'll be okay and I'll adjust fast. Sooo, Sister Frandsen is originally from China, moved to California, and got baptized when she was 14 years old. She's so nice, funny, and is really good in Chinese. I am learning a lot from her everyday and our companionship unity is great! We just vibed easily and I am thankful for that... ๐ Aside from that, I also have a new Filipina apartment-mate and her name is Sister Alboroto. She's fresh from MTC and is being trained by Sister Liang. They cover [the neighboring] ward now and I am back to my baby area [original ward]... Did District Finding today and had a lot of rejections still but it's good, at least we tried our best ๐ Hmmm, t'was a tiring day for me (emotionally and physically) but I know that Heavenly Father is helping me everyday... Missionary work is indeed hard but I know that "if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth" (Mark 9:23)
Pictures: I miss you Sister Ramboz and Sister Lee!
Letter and gift from my trainer Sister Ramboz.
Sept 21 Friday -
Me and my companion taught English Class today and our topic was Mid-Autumn Festival or jung chau jit in Cantonese. So this festival is the 15th day of the eighth lunar month (wow) and is also nicknamed "Family Reunion Festival". Families gather together and they eat moon cakes (yuht beng) which represents the full moon ๐ ... Our message for our English Class today was centered about families and how the Gospel can bless our families... I am grateful for my family for their support and for their example and I testify that families can be together forever. I am so thankful that I have this privilege to help other people be with their families for eternity ๐ --- Missionary work is great!
Sept 22 Saturday -
Did Finding all dayyy. Rejections everywhere but I got used to it haha. I can somewhat say that I am developing "Charity" and "Humility" because of this work.

Sept 23 Sunday -
Ward Conference today was so great! The High Council reminded us on how to improve and be better ministers. He suggested ABC which stands for
- A-Attitude (have a positive attitude)
- B-Believe (believe that you can improve), and
- C-Courage (have courage in helping the Lord's work)..
I also sang sang with the Ward Choir (in Cantonese) and it was a great experience... Also today, "SISTER G." GOT BAPTIZED (yuhooo!). I was so happy to witness her special day! I've been praying and fasting for her since the day I met her and it was really an unexplainable feeling when your "investigator/people you teach" finally enter the waters of baptism. We will continue to nourish her faith and so she can eventually enter the temple and make higher ordinances ๐ .. I testify that Missionary Work is soooo worth it and I am glad to be part of this work ๐

P.S Thank you [to my good friend] for the stuff that you guys gave me! You're the sweetest. It was nice seeing you! ๐
That's my short(?) update for now. I miss you all and I love you all! Have a great week.
Your Sister in Christ,
