  This week was so busy but so good! Read below! Pday: Shopping at Prince Edward's which is this HUGE street market with tons of shops! Tuesday: Temple day! My first time at the temple! It is so beautiful and I'm so lucky to have a temple so close in my mission! Afterwards had DC and Elder Cederland our DL gave out our prizes for how many hours we SYLed, I got More Yogart (AKA best drink in HK).  While doing out language study this guy comes up to us and saying in English: "are you guys missionaries?" So of course we said yes. It turns out this guy lived in Rexburg as an exchange student and lived with and LDS family and has gone to church a few times. We ended up having a lesson with him for like 40 minutes, but sadly he hasn't reached out since.  Wednesday: Today we had to pick up my HKID card which is about 30 minutes away. On our way there on the MTR I was stumbling around (if you know you know) and this girl starts laughing at me! I thought to myself, okay I ...

  你好大家!今個星期係好! 星期二: District council! My DL started this new challenge for us. At the end of each day we put in how long we SLYed for and by the end of the week we get prizes. Later that night my comp and I went to the Wan Chai chapel to practice for zone conference. The Sister playing piano for me ended up showing us around and took us up to the top floor where the area 70 and area President live! We got to meet the area President which was so cool!  星期三: Zone conference day! I was able to sing at zone conference which was so fun, and the trainings were amazing.  星期四: Today we had a member lesson with 鐘姊妹. I was able to practice teaching in Cantonese and she shared about her conversion story. The spirit was so strong and she is such an amazing member! Later that day we walked around TKO (my area) and studied in the most beautiful park waiting for a lesson with our friend Indi! Once we met with Indi we started teaching her and she described that she doesn't want to be bap...

  Hello everyone! My first full week in Hong Kong!  On Pday we got to go to the beach which was so fun and so pretty. I also got to try some pretty amazing and exciting food, AKA McDonalds...  Later that night I cut Sister Bairs hair (a Sister in my apartment) and the word got out to the Elders. The next day I got a video from the Elders of their clippers and them bribing me with food. I think I might become the mission hairdresser...  On Wednesday It was Trainee Trainer day! I got to get together with the missionaries in my MTC district and we went to the first baptism site in China! It was such an amazing experience to hear the story.  Later that same day I was out on exchanges with Sister Allen and we had about 2 hours to go street contacting. We met this girl named Yanni. She is so amazing! She stopped and talked with us for about half an hour and we were able to reschedule a chapel tour with her! I was able to testify to her and as I did so I was overwhelme...
