More of my P-day biking pictures and videos at the end of this entry!

Not much time to email again but...

Here are the highlights from last week:

Macau Sisters stayed in our apartment for exchanges and zone conference. It was fun! Our 4-people-small-apartment became 6 people apartment hahaha. It was nice to catch up with Sister McColgan (my MTC companion)! 😁

Timtam slam with the Sisters!

Visited Sis "L.". She's originally from Thailand and moved here in Hong Kong years years ago. She loves serving in the temple every week 😊 Just seeing her example and light makes me want to serve in the temple someday too 😊

Building relationships with our members 😊 They were so nice to schedule us to visit them and feed us. I love [these] wards! 😊

Zone Conference happened last Thursday and it was great. We talked about our experiences especially when we did no street contact/find 2 weeks ago... These are some of the things that I learned:

We have limited perspective that we often comprehend His ways.(true!)
Our love for God brings blessings.(Amen!)
The things that we can measure succinctly are generally the things which are not of worth.
We are totally dependent on the Lord for our success.

Played piano for a wedding lol and they're from Mainland China. The wedding was all in Mandarin lol but I understood some of the words haha pretty good. It was great to play piano for them even though I don't know them. Service for the week? 😁

Went to temple on Saturday morning and witnessed a [recent convert] do baptisms for the dead. It was Sister Boniao's recent convert from her last ward 😊 It reminded me of Sis "G." (from [my first] Ward) when we also went with her to temple last November.

[The other] Sis. "G." [from my ward now] is super super super doing great! 😊

Talk to ponder this week:

Put Your Trust In The Lord by Elder M. Russel Ballard

Thank you for reading my email every Monday and for your replies 😊 I know that God loves us so much. I love being a missionary and I know you can be a missionary as well by sharing your testimony to other people 😊 Or maybe just your feelings of gratitude from all the blessings that you receive each day... May we always look for the hands of the Lord in our daily lives 😊

Email day again 😊 Well...

I had an interesting week again! I have not much to say but this last week was definitely better than the week before. Also for last week, our Mission President challenged us not to do any street finding so we had to think outside the box on what to do. Me and my comp came up with ideas and we did some service finding (tried to find some service opportunity or a pohpo ("grandma") or suksuk ("uncle" or "old man") that needs help), food finding (asking random people where did they buy their food lol), free car wash (did it as a zone), and basketball/volleyball finding (as a zone). It was fun! It was definitely hard cos street finding is our only way of finding here but this challenge was a learning experience for everyone 😊 and we found new investigators/friends this week!

Also we were able to give Sis. "G." a baptismal date and she accepted it! Her baptism will be on April 28th (yay!). She is so ready!.. Uhmm, also Sis. "E." was confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints yesterday 😊 Good week!

Talk to ponder this week:

Elder Gerrit W. Gong - Our Campfire of Faith

I know that our Savior knows what we're going through, He knows our circumstances.. The Lord is very willing to bless us... We just have to ask, seek, and knock for His divine direction. I love my mission. I love our Heavenly Father and our Savior. Their love is unconditional. May we always strive to show our love to Them as well but serving other people and doing good to them 😊 Have a great week!
