Count Your Many Blessings!

Hey everyone!!!

Wow, this week actually flew. Ok, not literally, but close. I'll start at the very beginning, p-day. Last p-day we went to the space museum with one of Sister Branch's Hung Seui Kiu friends/investigators. And we got to see a movie/historical documentary in the space dome theater. The screen is literally the dome, so the screen is huge. It was pretty fun. The documentary/movie thing was on the Amazon, so you can imagine I was pretty excited. And we visited the history museum too, which was also really cool. Hong Kong has such an amazing and ancient history. 

And then we got to see Elder Stevenson! That was super cool. We got lined up for the picture an hour early (yes it takes an hour. Rach, if you think family pictures are bad, try to line up all the missionaries in the entire mission and keep them all still and quiet for an hour) But when Elder Stevenson came in we were singing the Army of Helaman song and it was incredible. The spirit was so strong in that room. President Lam teared up a bit and Elder Stevenson did too. It was incredible. Elder Evans and the Presiding Bishop Elder Causse was there too. Wow, it was so cool. And their talks were amazing. He talked a lot about having the Holy Ghost as our companion and promising our investigators blessings.

The rest of the week was great, but that was probably my favorite part. We had a zone find, had interviews with President Lam, which were pretty normal, met with Tony and Fei Fei this week as well.  Fei Fei is doing amazing!! We gave Bobby to the elders since he's not really that interested right now and just distracts his mom usually. Then we taught her with Lai Jimuih, our member, and the spirit was so strong! We were able to re-extend a baptismal date and she said yes!!!! Her date is April 29th. It was such a spirit led lesson and she said she knew God loved her. So incredible.

We also had a relief society birthday party and learned all about the founding of the church. it was super fun.

Aaaaaaand we had a chengout with an LA, but it was a little interesting... he tried to set up the elders with his Mandarin niece and might have flirted with Sister Branch a bit... Not doing that again. But it made for a hilarious story!

I almost forgot to tell you a funny story super fast about the time we were walking under a tree and talking and suddenly, something dropped right in front of my face and landed on the ground, and I looked down and it was an EGG. One second difference and that thing would have landed on my HEAD. That was a surprise. Yup. Right out of the tree.

That's my crazy busy week in a nutshell. Whew. It's been so incredible to see how the Spirit is so willing to guide us if we are willing to be led. Nothing happens in missionary work, or in anything else without the Spirit's guidance. Heavenly Father is so merciful and really does want each of His children to be happy. Some people here don't really even know what happiness feels like. I've felt so lucky to have the family I do and to have grown up with the gospel. It's so amazing the things He's given us. Look for the miracles. They're always there. I love you all so very much! Count your many blessings.

Till next week!
