Hello all!Moves calls was last Monday, and guess where I'm going this time?! Back to MACAU INTERNATIONAL!!! :) I am so excited! More boat rides heee! I should have known because in the two times that I've talked with President Van Dam while I've been in HK International, he's always talked to me about Macau. He loves to hint to missionaries where they will go LOL! I will not be transferring today like the other missionaries but will go next Friday because I have to wait 30 days total in HK before going back. I will be serving with Sister Benton again, which is good because we only had about 20 days together before I had to leave! This means I will probably be in Macau for the next three months till my visa ends again unless President Van Dam decides otherwise.
I am so happy I get to return because two of my investigators got baptized in the couple weeks while I was gone. One is Setini from Indonesia and the other is Peter from Nepal. I wish I could have been there to see them baptized since I found and taught them from the beginning with Sister Harding! It's okay, though, because now I can teach them the after baptismal lessons! :)
I still love serving in HK International! For Dad . . . the international branches are now in Wan Chai, Ho Man Tin, Kwai Fong, Lantau Island, and Macau every Sunday (with the exception of Wan Chai where I go, where the branches meet everyday). I hope to serve in the Kwai Chung Ward someday so that I can meet all of your friends!
Last week, the extra sisters went back to their original apartment--the awful smell finally went away haha--so now it's back to just the four of us in the apartment. The only change this move is that Sister Allado (the chicken-fighting story one) is switching with Sister Galang. This is the last move for Sister Galang . . . I'm not sure what the mission is going to do because 6 of the 8 Phillippina sisters will finish their missions this move, and then we'll be left with just 2 to serve all of the international areas with the elders! The new Phillippina sisters won't come till a couple moves later.Not much has happened in our findings . . . the weather has been changing a lot so we've been getting colds, and there was one day where my companion strained her back muscles and couldn't move for a whole afternoon. Lot's of people tell us, "Next time!" when we invite them to come to the church. Sister Silos told me yesterday in companionship study that she once said to someone, "What if you asked for a blessing and the Lord said, 'Next time!'?" Hahaha! The lady looked at her and then decided to go to church. Great, huh? I will try that sometime this week!
Miracle of the week: Elder Woo asked me to accompany him on the piano while he sang in the Why I Believe fireside. I was super tired by the time it was time to play last Sunday evening so I prayed that God would help me to remember how to play. So while I was playing, I remember reaching for the wrong key with my right pinky, but then something moved it a little to the left so that I played the right one! It definitely wasn't me that moved that finger so I know God must have done something about it! Happy day!
In my personal studies, I've been looking up words that are in my patriarchal blessing in the topical guide in the scriptures. After looking up all the scriptures and writing notes on all of them, I understand a lot more who God wants me to be from my blessing, how to receive the blessings He has promised, and am more familiar with the writings of the prophets. You should all try it!
We will watch General Conference on April 11 and 12 . . . I think that's a week later than the rest of you. I wish I could watch the Young Women's and Relief Society broadcast, too, but I'll just have to watch them later! I'm so excited to hear what the prophets have to say for today!
Today for p-day, we are going to Repulse Bay to see the beach! I have never been so I'm really excited even though today is super cold!
Also . . . Happy Birthday to DAD!!! :) I hope you have a wonderful day!
Love,
Sister Chu :)
