Week 11--Hong Kong

 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 overwhelmed with the spirit. 

This week I have been pondering, when I feel the spirit how do I know if my friends are feeling it as well? 
I've been studying this and the spirit is something you learn to recognize.  The odds are that if you are feeling the spirit, those around you are probably feeling it too they just don't know how to recognize it. 

On Saturday we had exchanges so I was with Sister Bair all day. We had 4 lessons planned! We went and visited this friend who was in the hospital, a new member at her house, and we gave Yanni a Chapel tour! Our 4th lesson ended up canceling and we had a member there with us which got so upset with our friend. She eventually said "you know what let's sing some songs" (she's also 76). So for the next half hour we were just singing songs with this 婆婆 (grandma).
 It was probably the highlight of my week, if not year. 

I'm so happy and excited to be here in Hong Kong. I feel so blessed to teach and serve the people of Asia just like my Dad. I know this Church is true and every time I testify to friends I am over come with the spirit. Ever day my testimony and my knowledge of the gospel grows. I invite you all to pray and ask If this church is true. I know you will receive an answer if you ask. 

3 Nephi 27: 29
 Therefore, ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for he that asketh, receiveth; and unto him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

Love you all

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 ...
