I HAVE BEEN A MISSIONARY FOR 6 MONTHS TODAY!!!
Celebrate! :) The time goes by soo fast!
Once again, I'm in the computer game place to type my weekly email. It's hard to think of stuff to say while breathing in smoke fumes and with kids screaming in the background as they frantically defend their gaming status so hopefully this won't be too boring!
There has been plenty of Christmas activities going on lately, thanks to our awesome Yuen Long wards and their socialness! We took our investigator Boyi to the "Songs of the Heart" choir concert in Tai Po on Saturday. I loooovvee Christmas songs! Lots of wards choirs got up to sing, and the little kids are the best when they sing Primary songs. The First Noel is my favorite. :)
The missionary sacrament meeting went well on Sunday! It was good for the members to hear us speak and get to know us a little more. The Restoration message will never get old. I always feel the Spirit when I hear it! After, more members came up to talk to us! :) Now we just need more referrals! We got even more food than usual that day, too, haha!
After Church, the Yuen Long 2 ward went to visit an elderly home. When we arrived, the people were sitting outside waiting for us. We had so much fun singing Christmas songs, traditional Chinese songs, and giving them treats! The missionaries did a nativity skit together. I played the angel and wore a huge, white sheet. Someone said I looked like a ghost, though, so I made sure to look as angelic and smiley as possible haha! I think I might have been a little-too-dramatic of an angel heeeee but I had so much fun! I think we made a good impression on these brothers and sisters of ours, and I hope they will let us come back someday!
We've done more finding and knocking on doors than usual . . . more people are avoiding us, but thank goodness we still are able to teach some lessons! On Tuesday, we went knocking on doors for several hours in Mai Po with no success . . . till the LAST DOOR. Dun Dun Dun! We found a Chan SiuJe who is Catholic along with the rest of her family. Horray! We taught her the Restoration and she believed. She said she once prayed to God if he was really there and then this pot or something came crashing down in front of her so since then, she has never doubted. She will be moving soon so we'll have to contact her again!
Yesterday was the Hong Kong Mission Christmas party! Everyone came and we did zone skits, sang, listened to other people sing, Sister Kau did the hula, exchanged Secret Santa gifts, and watched the mission pictures slide show. It's always so fun to see everyone again, especially my MTC district! We have two new sisters who are super nice! The next district will have some and then the one after will have TEN sisters! Amazing!!! In February or something, the first African-American sister will enter the MTC to serve in Hong Kong! She taught English in Taiwan sometime ago so I have no clue if she already knows some Mandarin or not. A couple weeks ago, the mission set the record for teaching 1294 lessons in one week. My New Territories zone taught 171 of them. (We consider a lesson a lesson when we teach a couple principles and invite.) Halelujah!
It's amazing how because a baby named Jesus was born, I can now serve a mission. Our lives have all been so blessed because of His great love and atoning sacrifice. We must never forget!
Love,
Sister Chu :)
P.S. Mom and Dad: I got a coat last week so don't worry! Now that I have one, the weather has all of a sudden turned warm again LOL! Oh well.
