你好大家！你地好？母親節快樂 !

How are y'all? 😊 Sorry if I just can't reply to your emails personally, I only have limited time but do know that I read it 😊 Dojeh daaihga! 😊

Hmm, last week was great! 😁 Here's why:

Picture: Family Home Evening with some members

We did a lot of splits and working with members. I enjoyed doing splits with members from [one of the branches] as I was able to get to know them more. We were able to meet some returning members too and did a district find with a member 😊 We also visited some members and the Elders administered the Sacrament again to [the] sick member from my last week's email.

As a companionship, we also discussed and made plans and goals on how to achieve our district goals and the zone challenge that we have right now. 😁

Sunday was perfect! [One of the branches] is getting better in fellowshipping the people that we bring and [another branch] is opening up and talking more to our recent convert, "Sis J.". She also got her Temple recommend yesterday and ready to go to our District temple trip on Saturday! 😊 We also taught a lesson in Facebook for the first time. After watching the missionary technology videos, we were inspired to start teaching lessons on Facebook especially to those people we are teaching that has once or twice a month day off.

Pictures: Some activities with the members like Cantonese class and making healthy food!

But I think, the highlight of my week was yesterday's lesson. The Spirit was so strong when we were teaching my best friend and when we started bearing our testimony. I started crying towards the end of our lesson. It was a special moment for me. I have so much happiness right now! I don't know how to express it! I feel like I am [like the] prophet Lehi from the Book of Mormon and having this great desire and happiness to share the truthfulness of this Gospel... Looking back on my baby days (1st few months here in my mission), I always bug/ask my Mission President when will I get to do Tagalog work or when will I go to Macau or every interview that I have with him I always ask what's happening to me next transfer or why do I always get dying companions every transfer.. I kept on asking myself what's my real purpose here in the China Hong Kong Mission?.. But yeah, despite of all those challenges and trials, I know that I was assigned in this mission for a purpose, it is divinely designed. I am very happy and excited to tell you that my best friend accepted the invitation to enter the waters of baptism! We chose July 14th as her baptismal date hoping that I will be back to Macau on that transfer. 😊

The Lord is with us. He loves us. He is mindful of us. He will bless us in ways only He can do. 😊 I love being a missionary! I know that our love for those around us increases when we remember that we are all children of God. 😊
