Hi Everyone!
Winnie will get baptized on Aug. 30! She had her baptismal interview last Monday and passed with flying colors. After, she wanted to take pictures with her baptismal form, and we're all just so excited and happy! Everytime we meet with her, we bring her candy because she just loves it so much. Ever since we taught her about the Word of Wisdom with candy (give 10 M&M's and give 1 back!), she has been calling her candy "blessings" heee!
For now, my date to go home is December 11! Or I could have chosen Jan. 22. These are set dates because the way the schedule is for missionaries to move to new areas. Every move period is 6 weeks. I know Dad will be in HK on Dec. 19 so I'm not sure what I would do! I have my interview with President Chan in a couple weeks so I can ask him about what to do then. Someone told me that if I don't have anyone to pick me up, then the church pays for my plane ticket home. If someone comes for me, then the church does not pay for my ticket. I am not totally sure yet so I will let you know when I find out!
I love Fridays because we have sports night! We just play badminton or ping pong or whatever with our investigators and it's so much fun! I love badminton! We just end up playing a ton of people at the same time and it usually ends up pretty confusing because there's so little space to play ping pong, badminton, AND Chinese checkers! Oh and there's usually karoke going in the corner too! It's really funny to have all of these things going on at the same time in the same room. There's usually an investigator who comes and sings Chinese opera REALLY LOUD too haha! So fun!
I went on a 24s exchange with my old Macau companion Sister Harding! Heee! I had it secretly arranged that we could be together! :) It's her last moves already! It was so fun to teach with her again, except instead of English in international, this time was Chinese! Wahoo! It was SO hot outside so we stopped at a Seven Eleven to get some drinks and to try the new pickle-flavored Pringles! They were so good! If you like salt and vinegar chips, you'll like these! Since we liked them so much, the Seven Eleven lady worker bought some too . . . she got some "Blazin' Buffalo Wing" flavored ones and then she had us try some! It was way fun! We just hung out there for a while and talked to the lady about church while we ate our Pringles. Do they have pickle-flavored Pringles in America? I hope so even though the can said "for the Hong Kong market!"
Last night I taught English class. Well, actually, it's not English class anymore. It's the gospel taught in English! President Chan is worried about having to pay a tax if we just teach English class so we now make sure we focus on teaching the gospel, which is much better anyway! We taught about Christlike attributes and told some stories about Jesus Christ, like the one about how Jesus fed the 5000. We found fish-shaped fish cookies from the bakery and 光蘇餅 (I think those are the characters for those cookies! I had Elder Leung type it in for me hehehe!) to represent the fish and loaves of bread. We passed them out during the story and eveyone loved them! I love food!
I have to go again! Good luck to Darilyn and Jonathan this Saturday!
I love you all!
Sister Chu :)
P.S. I'd better get some good DETAILS about this wedding! I haven't heard from Darilyn in WEEKS! :(
