Dear Everyone,
I don't know what to write because I'M SO TIRED!!! I feel like sleeping for the next couple of years, but there's only 6 more hours left of preparation day. At least I don't feel as bad as the rest of my zone . . . they did the monstrous Hamburger Challenge today in the basement of the church. All the elders attempted to each 10 McDonald's cheeseburgers each, and Sisters Chan and Harding attempted to eat 5 each. They tried to get me to do it, too, for the memories haha! We Macallion Stallions, as we call our zone, have so much hamburger pride LOL! Elder Hardy won, downing 13 total, and in the end, everyone was fat and threw up in the bathroom. It was disgusting. I ate 2 cause the rest of the elders couldn't finish LOL! And I feel amazing!
So on to the rest of the mission! Sister Esplin went back to HK because her visa was up so now Sister Wong, a native from HK, is now Sister Chan's new companion. It's so fun to have her here! She gives the best massages! We've had lots of trouble with our visas because Macau is no longer giving the missionaries the 6-month visas since the economy is so bad right now. They are giving the visas to those who need jobs. I have a 30-20-10 visa now so after 30 days, I will have to go back to HK for a day and then come back to Macau. They will then give me 20 more days and then 10 after that if things work out right.
Yesterday, we did a lot of finding outside. The weather in Macau has been absolutely PERFECT! It's like the beginning of summer at BYU, cool with some breeze. We ran into a lot of crazy people . . . one lady even tried to hold my hand and then just walked away. Weird. Sister Harding and I were talking the other day that if we are just obedient and do the things that we're supposed to, God will provide. And he did! Last night when we got back to the church, three randomly people showed up one after another, and we taught them all! We even had three fellowshippers--so good because I can't speak Tagalog! One is named April from the Phillippines. She is so sweet, and after we taught her the Restoration and did the closing prayer, she was so happy and cried. The other was named Ruby who is also from the Phillippines. She came because at the job agency, someone told her that we taught free Cantonese lessons so she came to learn. We taught her some of the Restoration, too, and she said she really wanted to learn more!
Wah! Sorry I have no more time left so this is such a lame email!
I love you all and Happy Chinese New Year!
