大家好!

How's everyone? 😊

Updates from last week:

China Hong Kong Mission is definitely hard but good. Even though the work is recently slow, I've seen the Lord's hand helping His marvelous work... It's been an interesting week doing missionary work. Our curfews from 9:30pm was changed to 8pm then to 6pm (for the past weekend for safety. And oh, tomorrow is a public holiday and there's a BIG rally so we're not allowed to go out haha so we'll have our deep cleaning day! Lol time to clean the apartment).. Also move calls happened last Saturday and I'm staying in this area.. But, did I mention from my past emails that we didn't get new missionaries since August because of the protests going on? 😕 So from 120 missionaries, we're down to 80+ missionaries. Crazy huh?... But the good news is, there's 30 "new/fresh from the MTC" missionaries coming here next week haha so we'll have another move calls this coming Saturday 😂 We'll see if I'll move for my last 5 weeks or if I'll finish my mission here in [this area]. Exciting!

But yeah, we had an interesting week. My companion had some heart conditions that she needed to see a doctor so I accompanied her to those doctor appointments haha. But she's feeling better now. I just have to remind her from time to time to take her meds cos she's so forgetful haha cutie 😂

Member missionary work is doing great. I just love [this] ward. They're awesome! We visited our Relief Society president for a cheng and she brought a friend with hers. We were able to get to know her friend and through the help of the Spirit, we're able to share a message that she really needs to hear that time. She also came to church yesterday and loved it 😊 We will be meeting with her again this week... Had some other friends that we met last week but still kinda on and off haha but it's okay, we just have to work harder and harder 😊

Other than that, my trainee is excited to graduate from her "training course" haha. She's grown up now. She leads the area and the work sometimes during her "senior comp days". It's wonderful seeing her grow and improving as time goes by. I know she will do great things even after I leave.

I love this gospel. I love Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. I love you all. I'm excited to hear our living prophets as they speak to us this coming General Conference. Don't forget to write down your questions and let the conference answer those 😊 Have a great week everyone!
