Kwun Tong 7-24-09 to 8-6-09

Hey Everyone!

I'm still alive! I was trying to email last week but I only had 5 minutes and then the internet didn't work. Wah! So thanks for sending me emails anyway this week! Hehehehe! Oh and while I'm thinking of it, could you all email me a day earlier? Sometimes, I don't get to read your emails because my companions want to email in the mornings. Thanks so much! :)

So that other week I didn't email was kind of crazy because I was sick, and then I went to see a Chinese doctor who gave me a pill for every little symptom I said. Like he gave me 6 kinds of pills and then a bottle of cough syrup. I only took 2 of the pills and they knocked me out for a whole day and made me all dizzy! Good grief! After that, I decided not to take the rest and I got better just fine. I think everyone here is still afraid of getting the swine flu . . . Sister Black said that her little sister in America actually got it! Don't worry, though, she is ok!

Last Thursday, we went to Daai O to see the pink dolphins! We took the MTR for 45 min., rode a ferry, took a bus for an hour, then went on this little boat out into the ocean, and THEN saw them! They really are pink! And then, the boat man took us to see the neighborhood. There are a bunch of people who live on the water--their houses are on stilts above the water! Amazing!

So this week! We had moves calls last Monday, and Sister Black got transferred to Dai Wai! Our threesome is no more! I loved our threesome! We worked well together and ate lots of ice-cream! :) Sister Lau will stay with me till she gets her visa, which will be kind-of weird because after she leaves, I won't get to see her in the mission! It was really funny this morning because as Sister Black, Vance, and Kuta were getting into the elevator to move out, the elevator door closed, and Sister Black and Vance got stuck in there with the luggage! The rest of us just hung out outside the elevator till the elevator man came hahaha!

So Winnie, our cute cute 11 year old, now has a baptismal date!!! I am so excited for her! She is doing way good. We taught her the Word of Wisdom, tithing, and fasting this week, and she says that God's commandments are easy to keep. :)

So since Sister Black knew she was leaving, we got to see a lot of investigators before she left! Yesterday, we went to see the Wong Family. The mom is originally from mainland China and she has 4 adorable kids! The lesson went so well! We gave them the kids Book of Mormon, the one with all the pictures and she read them the Joseph Smith story. The kids are so well behaved and the mom said she would read them a chapter everyday! Hallelujah! :) The kids always go to the kids English class we have every Saturday and they LOVE it! :) I love teaching families!

The Kwun Tong Ward is so amazing. Last Sunday was fast Sunday and the members literally flew up to bear their testimonies! There were so many who wanted to bear their testimonies. So great! We were so busy after church . . . we all had to split up to teach lessons! That's one reason why it's so great to have a threesome! Key, our ward mission correlator, brought his friend, and I got to teach her! She's been a Buddhist her whole life, but then one day last week, she just had a feeling that she wanted to pray. So she did and then came to church to find out more! She lives in another area though so I am so excited for her to keep going!

I love you all!

Love,
Sister Chu :)

P.S. When are you all driving out to go to Housten? Is Jonathan from Housten?! Where are they going after the wedding? I have no idea about ANYTHING!!!
P.P.S. Good luck on the lei!
