Our lessons with our two investigators are going really good! It's so weird how much we're able to understand them now. My companions are awesome. It's really nice when in lessons I'm not sure what the investigator said, but one of them do so they can answer or vice versa. My comp Sister Hugo can come up with a scripture for anything the investigator asks, and it's so great. We work really well together.
This week our teacher gave us a lesson on the eating culture in Hong Kong. She gave us chopsticks and we have been practicing using them at meals. I am insanely bad at using chopsticks PS it's very embarrassing. Food falling out of your mouth is not beautiful. She showed us pictures of a bunch of different kinds of foods and told us about the culture over there. It made me so excited! Our teacher said that food is like the main culture in Hong Kong. All they do is eat because for so long they were so poor and starving so now eating is like a really special thing to them. It sounds like the food is really good! Nothing to weird from what she showed us. Mostly noodles, rice, meat, lots of fish so sad, soups, and these bread balls from the bakeries she said are really good. Also apparently they drink their water hot. Like they actually boil it and drink it super hot, never cold. They think it's healthier that way.
We got to teach TRC volunteers again on Saturday. I was way less nervous this time. The volunteers we had were so nice, they helped us whenever we didn't know a word. I love that we can have a nice spiritual conversation with someone even though our language is so broken.
There is something so sacred and so special about faith. About creating a deep relationship with someone you can only see in your head and feel in your heart. Even though the road to being close to Jesus is sometimes so hard, every part of the journey makes the end point that much more precious. I thought about all the times I prayed and didn't get an answer. All the times I was frustrated with not knowing all I wanted to know. All the times I wondered if He was even there. Then I thought about the other side and the moments where I felt him so present and I could not deny that He is there. I know God loves me, I know He adores me. I know he is so constant in my life. Even though I wish with all my heart He would just come down and teach his children for me so I couldn't mess it up, I would never rob those people of what we have. I want them to have all these moments so that they can know God entirely with their whole hearts and have that meaningful relationship with Him. He is so so good and wonderful and so is this gospel. I'm so grateful to be here at the MTC. Everyone here are the nicest people in the world. I love my family, I hope you know that. I hope your lives are fun and exciting and great and centered around basketball obviously. LOVE YOU.
