Leih hou everyone!! 

This week has been soo good and so much happened but here are a few highlights :)

Wednesday I had a 5am flight to provo but was able to see Elder Zmoleck who I got to fly with! When I arrived at Provo,  Sister Olsen was there to pick me up and her and her family took me out for lunch which was so sweet. Got to meet my district and teachers and they're all so amazing.

Thursday: first language lab with Gamboa Ji Muih which was so hard but so fun.

Friday: I got to go to the temple with Sister Togtokhbayar because she got endowed today! It was such an amazing experience to be her escort and help walk her through it.

Saturday: Matched with my district and we all wore green which was so cutie. So many tender mercies this day and I could really feel I was meant to serve this mission. Sister Togtokhbayar and I did our first HOA which went so well and I felt the spirit throughout it. Language class today was SO confusing, learning Cantonese grammar. Cantonese is hard!! I also got my Chinese name which is Sister Gwok! 

Sunday: What an amazing day. It was fast Sunday today and during fast and testimony, it was so sweet and the spirit was so strong. We had lots of devotionals today about the atonement of Jesus Christ and I just felt peace the entire day.

Ngoh ngoi leih deih 
I know that Jesus Christ is our savior and redeemer and that he died for me and YOU. I know that because he died for us we are able to be redeemed through him and be forgiven for all of our sins and mistakes. God loves you so so so much, more than you can ever comprehend.

Week 9 MTC

  TOMORROWS THE DAY!  Wow what a week!  On Tuesday my whole district got to go to the temple together one last time which was so special. We did endowments and I felt the spirit so strong.  This week my eye randomly started hurting and I was so stressed it would delay my mission, but luckily I was able to go to the eye doctor and they told me I had a minor eye infection... Only took like 3 days of eye drops to heal and now I'm good, but was so annoying to wear glasses all week. Huge miracle it wasn't anything serious!  Sister Davis found a literal piece of metal in her food. That's a pretty good description of how MTC food is if you're curious.  Fire in R9?? Jk, but on Friday night at 10:30pm ish the fire alarm went off AS I was going to bed. Everyone had to get out of the building in their PJs and it was so funny. (We think someone burnt popcorn) We then waiting in T3 building until we got the all clear and sang some primary songs. This was such a tender m...

  Hello everyone! This week has been good! Lots of language class and lots of mtc food.  Highlights:  Monday: Got to go to the Temple on Pday and did sealings for a family with 9 kids which was so amazing!!  Tuesday: St. Patricks day! Everyone wore green and it was so cute. Wednesday: Started learning how to teach the plan of salvation in Cantonese which is so hard and so confusing! The gift of tongues is so real because how the heck am I speaking Chinese!  Thursday/Friday: Not as whole lot happened, classes everyday and lots of Cantonese which is good.  Saturday: Best class ever. Earlier this day we were telling our language teacher Sister Gamboa how we wish our teachers would open up about their struggles with the language more and have opportunities to hear more about the culture in HK, and guess what! Our class later that night our teacher showed us videos of when he was in the MTC and we were able to ask questions about the culture. It was such a good ...

Week 6-7-MTC and Home

 Maddie came home on March 29th as her dad was about to die.  Here is here email the following day: Hey everyone,  I'm sure most of you already know, but my Dad passed away yesterday.  So this email is going to be all about him.  My Dad is literally the funniest person I know. Whenever I make a joke it always stems from his humor. His jokes were always so unique and made every one around him laugh. There was nothing better than my dad's laugh. Fun fact the last thing my dad sent me was in fact a Dad joke.  My Dad is so incredibly generous. He always took care of his daughters needs before his own. Whenever we were feeling sad, scared, or even happy Dad would always send us some money to get a treat or surprise us with some kind of treat. His love language is definitely giving to others and I strive everyday to be more like him.  When I was in middle school and didn't have a lot of friends my Dad was my best friend. He got me into Starwars, Lord of the ...
