你好大家！你地好？我掛住你地！

Hello everyone! How are y'all? I miss you!

More pictures below!

Thank you for your replies 😊 This will be a short one again, so sorry!.. Uhmm, last week was amazing! I hit my one year mark being a missionary and it's crazy how time flies sooo fast! I'll be done in like 6 months and I will totally miss being a full-time missionary but I will continue sharing the Gospel to my friends when I get home 😊 that's for sure! Hehe.

Hmm, I think my highlight for last week was meeting and teaching my elementary best friend! It was sooo good to see her again and share my beliefs and this special message - the Gospel of Christ. One crazy change that also happened last week was China Hong Kong Mission is now allowed to use Facebook to proselyte! So I made a new fb account (Click Here) but it's only for missionary stuff. Haha. Please feel free to send me names or fb accounts of your friends who you might think is interested to learn more about the gospel 😊 May it be English, Tagalog, or Cantonese speaking 😊 Haha..

Also the past week was full of visiting members, building relationship and trust with them, teaching lessons, and ministering! ... 😊 and yesterday, April 28th, our friend / investigator from my last area was baptized! I AM SOOO HAPPY ❤️.. This week is exciting too! We will go to Hong Kong for 3 days to do exchanges and zone conference. 😊 I'll let you know about it next email day 😊

I love being a full-time missionary! I won't trade this once in a lifetime experience for anything else... I know that Christ lives and He loves us so much! Please don't forget that you are a child of God 😊

Have a great week everyone! Be happy!

你們好！How are y'all?

First off, I would like to tell everyone that I safely arrived here in Macau and I AM LOVING my new area (hahaha! Yay!). We cover 3 branches now and basically we cover all Macau 😁 I have two new companions too! We're in a trio hehe. Sister Meacham is from UK and Sister Fung is from HK... I miss [my previous area] but I am glad to be here and experience missionary work here in Macau 😊 It's really different from Hong Kong!.. Also, I don't have much time to email again haha so sorry but this email update will be short and not in depth.

Some highlights from last week:

Pictures: Final moments at my previous area -

Mango dessert with Bro. "A.", New missionaries and their trainers, Sis. Boniao and I

- Met my new friends (people they've been teaching here in Macau) and met their recent convert and did some BRT (Building Relationship and Trust) and shared messages from the last General Conference 😊

Pictures and Video: Funny sign at Macau and pictures with new friends and companions!

- We also had Saturday Sacrament meeting. Basically this meeting is run by missionaries. We all have our part (speakers, pianist, blessing the emblems). This meeting is for those sisters who only have Saturday off and can't come to Sunday church services.

Picture: Group pic with some members of the Saturday meeting!

- Oh, we also had baptism from the Mandarin/Cantonese branch. [He] is a cute 9 yr old kid who grew up in the church and saw his parents' example as well. When he was sharing his testimony, he was a bit shy but he knows and feels (even though his young) that this church is true.

Pictures: Love my companions - Sis. Fung and Sis. Meacham

- We also had our Cantonese class last Saturday!.. From teaching English class in Hong Kong, I am now teaching Cantonese class (mostly to Filipinos here). It's weird teaching Cantonese haha cos I know for myself that my Cantonese is not that great lol so funny!

Video and pictures from Saturday

- First Sunday here in Macau was a blast! We were in the church all day as we cover 3 branches 😊 and bore my testimony 3 times haha... Since it was Easter Sunday yesterday, the Primary and youth had this Easter presentation. Us missionaries also sang with them 😊

Pictures: First Sunday here!

- ALSO, I LOVE serving in the Filipino branch... They are super great and super nice! And I can finally speak in Tagalog/Cebuano to them haha. I just love them!

Uhmm I think that's it for now (more pictures and a video below!) 😊 Thank you for reading my weekly update and so sorry if it's short and not in details 😟

I love the Gospel. I love doing His work. I love you all! I know and I testify that this church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is true. I am very blessed to be here and share God's wonderful Gospel and His plan to my brothers and sisters here in Macau/HK 😊
