你好 (Léih hóu!)
How's everyone? 😊 This will be a shorter email/update cos I don't have that much time to email today... and also, the A/C here in the library is soooo strong haha it's so cold! Haha lol.
Updates/Highlights from last week:

PDay'd with Sister Romero and Sister Almanzor. My companion also did her last "trunky" shopping in their area hehe... Then at night, we continued doing Less Active finding.

We had a discussion about Prayer during our district council today. Basically we talked about how we could improve our prayers and our communication with our Heavenly Father... Please read these talks if you have time (link enabled):
- "Pray Always" by Elder David A. Bednar
- "Using the Supernal Gift of Prayer" by Elder Richard G. Scott

We tried to do Less Active finding at [another spot in our area] today but no luck. The guards were very strict... but, we were able to knock on one house and the lady who opened the door got mad at us 😟 We were just asking if this person named "......." is there but then she started to yell at us and even said that she'll call the police if we'll not leave... Waaa, what an experience! It's sooo hard to do Less Active finding here in Hong Kong!

Oct 25 Thursday -
Had Exchanges today...with Sister Low. It's nice to be in a new environment for awhile and see how they do missionary work... Also during my personal study, I was reading Alma's counsel to his sons and as we know, he only wrote 15 "powerful" verses to Shiblon (not as much as Helaman's and Corianton's), then I came across to this talk: "Truly Good and Without Guile" by Elder Ringwood.

Happy Birthday, Kabs Precious!! 😊 ... We're supposed to have a turnover lesson today with the Mandarin Elders but she fonged us (didn't show up) haha. It was also awkward cos we invited a member to be present during the lesson but then she didn't show up. Awkwarrrrd...
Oct 27 Saturday -
Had our Stake Conference today. The speakers mainly focused talking about the changes that will happen next year and how we could have "home-centered" and "church supported gospel learning"... Also [transfer] calls happened today! Guess what? I AM GOING TO KILL ANOTHER PERSON this coming transfer hahahaha. My new companion will be Sister Wilson (from Australia) and she's going home in December. She will be the 4th companion that I will kill lol. I think I'll stay in [my first area] foreverrr haha probably until January or February next year.
Pictures: Yum!

Had our Sunday Stake Conference. We sang with the choir! 😊 It was a great day... Also we met with Sister "G." after and taught her about Temples and Family History and we're preparing her to go to the temple next month 😊 [She] is really doing great 😊 ... And finally today, we had the turnover lesson with the Mandarin Elders. She invited us to her house and chenged us 😊 The Mandarin Elders gave her a baptismal date (awesome!). Praying for her progress.
