Hong Kong: I AM LEARNING THE IMPORTANCE OF A GOOD MORNING

April 2, 2017

Family,

Great week! Week full of miracles!

The days and weeks fly by. I wish time would slow down, but it doesn't. Better just take advantage of every moment.

Went to Burger Man last week. Some good burgers.

Made a big mistake for lunch last week. We were making some noodles and halfway through I noticed a little coackroach in my soup, pulled it out and then kept eating. Then noticed another little coackroach and pulled it out. Then all of a sudden, halfway through my bowl noticed dozens of tiny coackroaches dotting the entire bowl of noodles. I thought it was pepper. I forgot I didn't put pepper in the noodles. Whoops. Didn't eat any more after that.

Incredible mainland family last week. I don't know if I have ever felt a more powerful testimony from an 11 year old girl. I was privileged to interview her and attend her baptism. That is a major blessing of serving here, I can assist and associate with these mainland pioneers.

I am learning the importance of a good morning and how that will affect the rest of the day. I felt like we had some especially effective companionship studies this week and the days were filled with miracles. I'll list a few: 1. Visiting with an investigator when his boss came in, who is also an investigator and we were able to have a great lesson with both of them. We have not been able to see the boss in 3-4 weeks. 2. Visited with a Recent Convert and his non-member wife. She is now committed to be baptized, maybe next week April 9th! 3. A mainland sister came to english class and we were able to switch numbers. We have been in contact and should be able to meet her this week. 4. At church, people were introducing themselves and as one of the Less- Actives that the Elders Quorum President invited introduced herself I made a note of her name. Then as she was leaving, I called her by her name as I was saying goodbye and she thought that was incredible. As a result, a few days later, she remembered who I was as she was in the church needing help and we were able to talk for a minute. Turns out she is actually a non-member and has a daughter who she would like to have the missionaries go and visit. We hope to visit her as well. 5. Met with some people we have been trying for weeks to meet with. 6. Some referrals and potential investigators are popping out of now where.

Went on a few exchanges this week with some great elders. I have been blessed my entire life to be surrounded by the best people and incredible disciples of Jesus Christ. I am one of Heavenly Father's most spoiled children.

Have a good week!
