Week 14--Hong Kong

 This week has been good and full of so many new experiences! Here are some highlights: 

Pday we went to Hong Kong History museum which was amazing and so much fun! 

On Wednesday we had our interviews with President Hill. He is the best ever and it was nice to get to know him more. After that we had a pass off with our friend Maria in Wan Chai. We called her and she said she was about 2 minutes away. We wait for 30 minutes. She never showed up. We'll Wan Chai is about 1 hour from our area so that took up most of our day which was sad. 

Thursday we had a lesson with a member. This was my favorite member visit I've had yet because 蔡姊妹 was so patient with me and let me practice my Cantonese. Then later that evening we had a lesson with Indi our friend. 

On Friday a member fed us 點心 or dimsam. This is like traditional Chinese food and it was yum. Although some weird things as well, but a fun experience.  After wards we went with this member and visited her cousin (non member) in the hospital. It was far away and they ended up feeding us AGAIN. I don't love hospitals so honestly this was a bit rough. 
Later that night we had a lesson with our friend Fiona. We extended her a baptism date 3 times because she is ready! But unfortunately after accepting the date she texted afterwards and said "I don't want baptism". 

On Saturday we had another member meal at this Italianish American restaurant. It was not good... everything tasted the same, but hey now I can say I've tried snail! They ordered so much food and said that we had to finish all of it, let's just say I went home not feeling the best haha. 

On Sunday we had ANOTHER member meal! This was one at a member home. The food was AMAZING. And I love this family so much! 

The language: I've realized since being in Hong Kong I haven't talked about the language at all. 
It is hard. 
But I'm learning! 
I know the gift of tongues is real, and although my language is no where near perfect God will provide and help me if I put the effort in. 
This is true not only with language learning but daily things as well. 
If you give God your effort He will help you and He will provide. 
So pray for God's help. 
Ask Him what He would have you do! 
I know He hears our prayers and your prayers will be answered. 

I love you all! Email me! Pray for TKO area! 
我知道耶穌基督嘅福音係真實嘅!

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 ...
