How's everyone's week? ๐ ... Chinese New Year was amazing! Haha. We received lots of "red pockets" from our ward members ๐ I love our wards and grateful to serve in [both areas] ๐

We'll ask our Bishop to change the cash to coupons
Updates/Highlights from last week:
- We had Deep Clean for P-Day hahaha! It was fun cleaning though ๐
- Explored more [of the 2nd] area. It's good that we have more finding places to go to! ๐
- Visited some returning members and friends
- During our finding, we had an amazing street lesson with a lady from Mainland China (but also speaks Cantonese). It was hard to understand her for the most part because of her "Mandarin accent" but I was able to teach her about the Restoration... but when I was trying to give her the Book of Mormon, she rejected it ๐ but it was okay! At least I was able to plant a seed in her heart ๐
-We also had our Zone Conference last week and our topic was "Enduring to the End" and how to not just endure but "enjoy" our mission... Some of the highlights I learned from Zone Conf:
- Enduring to the End means remaining faithful to our covenants... and it requires total commitment to the Savior and to our covenants.
- In the parable of the sower (Matt 13), we are the seeds and we definitely pick our own soil... May we always choose the good soil and continue nourishing ourselves with the good word of God.
- Because of some distractions, we sometimes miss an opportunity to grow.
- Difficult times in my mission will fade and I will eventually forget them... but good times remain.
- My mission is my life training ๐ I should not worry when people reject us because there will be more rejections to come ๐

We love being extra sometimes ๐
-Update for the people we teach: Extended baptismal invitations and 2 of them accepted it ๐ We are aiming for March 3rd for the both of them ๐ Yay!

Busy and fruitful week! I love being a missionary! ๐ Grateful for this opportunity to learn and to grow ๐ Church is true. God loves you!
Have a great week! ๐
