Hey Everyone!
Well here I am again!
Some things about Hong Kong . . . you know if you're Chinese if:
- you drink hot water, even in the boiling hot summer
- you wear a blue mask everywhere if you're sick
- you have to carry at least 30 pounds of books to school
- you spend hours fixing your animae hair if you're a guy
- you have your bangs swooped to the side and held up with a big hair clip of something like a cheeseburger or big Hello Kitty if you're a girl
- you like to play ping pong and badminton
- you do tai chi and work out at the poh poh park in the mornings
- you believe in natural beauty
- wear t-shirts with interesting English on them
- you've had clothes fall onto someone's roof from hanging your laundry out the window
- you collect anything that's small and sparkly . . . actually, you collect anything that's collectible! :)
Hong Kong is pretty much amazing! I love it! :)
So here are some things that have happened this week . . .
We got to watch conference in Wan Chai! I just loved watching and it's a totally different experience if you have investigators coming. Thank goodness for our cell phone! I was relieved that at least 6 investigators made the trip, even with some complaints, but that's ok! At least they got to listen to a prophet!
Many talks seemed to be about God's love and God's commandments, which I loved since many of our investigators are struggling with those things right now! I have testimony that God really answers prayers, especially if they are for other people.
We now have termites in our kitchen. We had a little trouble figuring out what they were . . . our elders are so funny and all trying to be helpful, though. Elder Cheng, our mission housing coordinator person, was like, "I printed out a bunch of pictures of termites . . . but I forgot to bring them!" And at the same time, Elder Hyde from Idaho was like, "Do they have a small abdomen and a big butt? If they do, they're ants!" Hahaha!
For companionship inventory, Sister Bird asked me to try to fix my hair differently or something cause it's always in a bun. Ugh I'm just getting ancient and not caring at this point, but I did try a pony tail today! It looks exactly like my usual bun, thanks to my African hair. And I keep finding white hair. Good grief.
Miracle of the week! Wendy committed to keep all of the ten commandments as an experiment for one month! WHAT an ordeal! We know she can do it, but honestly, she's a bit lazy. So we invited her to try it for a month to see what blessings God has in store for her. In the lesson, Sister Bird finally said, "I've just received revelation!" and then offered to cook dinner for Wendy every week if Wendy would be willing to do her part and not buy stuff on Sundays. Then Wendy got all excited about buying food for Sunday dinner. And then she gave us dried apricots and Welch's strawberry gummies to eat. And then, we had to convince her to come to Wan Chai again this Sunday for stake conference. Like I said, more white hairs!
I went to Yi Ma's place again for dinner on Sunday. Uncle Tim also came! They are all so generous with everything, and always give us so many treats. I wish I had something to give them, but oh wait, I have the gospel! :) After we ate the most delicious dinner EVER made by Yi Jeung, we sang them "I Am a Child of God" and "Families Can Be Together Forever." I bore my testimony on God, prayer, and eternal families, and I know they all felt the Spirit. I gave them a Book of Mormon. I am not sure if they will read it, but I wrote a letter to them inside. It was the most amazing evening!
Ahhhh time to go again! I love you all!
Love,
Sister Chu :)
P.S. To Ram, Dev, and all my Macau friends . . . I am coming this Sunday for the Why I Believe fireside! I will also try to be there earlier to go to church at 5 p.m. if I can! I can't wait to see you all! :)
