Oh noooo!
I think this is one of the last emails! Thanks Mom, Dar, and Tiffany for writing! I think Dad sent an email but I didn't get it . . . I'll just see him next Friday then! :)
A COUPLE QUESTIONS:
1. Dad: How many luggages are you bringing? I don't really know what the baggage weight requirement is . . . I looked on the itinerary you gave me and it didn't say. If you bring an extra luggage, that would be nice just in case! :) If you can't bring one, that's ok, too!
2. When am I getting released as a missionary? It sounds like I will be released when I get home in NC. If that is the case, I will still be a missionary for the time while Dad is with me in HK. Meaning if you all want to watch movies and T.V. in HK, I probably won't be able to unless the NC stake president says it's ok! Either way is just fine with me, but I just want to let you know! I'll ask President Chan when I have my departing interview with him this Tuesday.
I'm not sure if I get to check email next Thursday since all the returning missionaries have a schedule all layed out, but I'll see if I can!
Sister Kwok has been absolutely amazing and patient with me! I feel like I'm in a daze half the time, and she just keeps going! Our desks are out in the living room. Sometimes, little birds fly into our apartment and scare her. Sister Kwok is terrified of birds! Especially chickens! I have no idea why, but I think it's kind of funny! There's a couple birds outside our window (I think they built a nest there or something) and they coo REALLY LOUD all the time so she spends a lot of time banging at the windows to get them to stop!
Sisters Bird and Hougaard decorated our apartment for Christmas. They found THREE Christmas trees from past missionaries. One of them is bright pink haha! It's so great. It's strange to think I'll be back in NC by then.
So this week! I had career workshop with the other going-home missionaries on Tuesday and Wednesday. The couple missionaries taught us, and they're so nice to us! The goal of the workshop was to help us be independent in our future careers. The first day was super overwhelming, partly because I was already so tired. We learned how to give a "me in 30 seconds," how to sell ourselves to future employers, and how to network. Ahhhhh! They tried to help us think of what we'd done in our past life and what results we had. I honestly could not remember what I'd done so after trying to pull it all out for three hours, we all felt pretty beat.
But Wednesday was better! We learned how to make power statements, how to interview, how to turn negatives into positives, and stuff . . . I have no idea actually! I still felt beat, but felt ok. We had personal study afterwards . . . I fell asleep and wacked my head really hard on the edge of my desk. Yep.
We had so many miracles yesterday! We finally got two new investigators--Katrina and her friend Chaya. They both came to the English class I taught last night, and they're so nice! Lot's of the people we bring are pretty shy, and you have to work pretty hard to talk with them and make them feel comfortable. Not them! They already love coming to church, and we're going to make cookies with them this Monday (and teach them hehehe!).
No more time! Again! Maybe for the last time?!
I love you all!
Love,
Sister Chu :)
