Hi Everyone!
I've just sat here at the computer for like five minutes. I'm trying to think of stuff to say, but honestly, I'm so tired that I can't think of anything! Oh well. I had an interview with President Chan yesterday, and he was all, "Treasure this time while you can!" I just nodded and tried to stay awake in the interview. That's pretty much all I remember him saying. Oh yeah! And he told me that he's already recommended me to get that half-tuition scholarship for BYUH! So I have two scholarships for BYUH this winter. What a miracle!
We went to the temple today, and Sister Kwok saw her piano teacher, President Cheng, there. He is the stake president in Tolo Harbor, and he was the one who first introduced her to the church and gave her a Book of Mormon. Horray! Sister Kwok is so amazing to me. I can't believe that she joined the Church only four years ago! Whenever we ask members for referrals, they pay special attention since Sister Kwok is living testimony that it works!
We've had lots of miracles this past week! We've had several referrals, two of which are from Thailand! There is a small community of Thai members in the Kwun Tong Ward. I'm not sure why they all chose to go to church in Kwun Tong, but I think it's great! Yesterday, we were visiting a Thai sister for the 100% Home Teaching Plan. Her husband is a native HKer. She is such an amazing lady! I had no idea about this, but she's been inviting lots of Thai friends to FHE at her place for a while now and sharing the gospel with them all! When we visited her, she'd brought one friend to meet us. When we stepped in the door, she was like, "Hello! Look! Here's an investigator for you!" Yep! What every missionary wants to hear!
I am now learning as much Thai as I can! :) I can say "sawadeeka" (how are you?), "kopunka" (thank you), and "saadsadaa" (prophet). Yay! I have no idea how to spell those but you can try to sound them out if you want hehehe. Don't worry Dad and Mom. I am still learning the Chinese! We picked up some copies of the Book of Mormon in Thai along with some flyers and stuff today from the temple. I am so excited! I think there used to be some Thai missionaries like when they used to have Indonesian missionaries here in HK a long time ago. There's a really good Thai restaurant close to the church, and I always go over there so we're now friends with the owner. She loves it and gives me discounts! :)
HK is so interesting. One day it'll feel like HK, and another day, it'll feel like the Phillippines, Indonesia, . . . or Thailand! I love it!
Au gaad na pope gan! (Thai for "see you later!")
Love,
Sister Chu :)
