Oh my beautiful Hong Kong




 This is the amazing beloved Ms. Chou.  She is showing us how you summon the wind.  Im not sure how this could ever be useful in your life, but she is showing us the dance move and flower pose you need to do to call upon wind.  Good ol' Ms. Chou.









 These are moon cakes.  Do not let the delicious sounding word confuse you.  There is nothing cake about it.  Its like flavorless peanut butter with an egg yolk in the middle.  I dare you to eat one and not gag. I don't understand why nobody here wants to eat real cake. They're so crazy. And skinny. Oh yeah, maybe that's how they do it...


 Oh by Beautiful Hong Kong.  I love it here.  It is one of the most beautiful places you could dream of.  It really is feeling like my home.


Hong Kong really is so pretty. I absolutely love it. Something I've yet to get a picture of is the MTR bridge on Sundays. Sunday is most people's day off. There are a ton of foreigners that come here to be maids for rich Hong Kong people. Mostly they are from the Philippines, Indonesia, and sometimes India. Since Sunday is their day off they all go and sit on the bridge. They line their blankets on the sides and take off their shoes and sit there eating food and partying and it's the craziest scene I've ever seen! So much fun. Especially because the foreigners are actually kind to us. 
 There's a little boy named Don in church who I've been trying to win over for the past five months and yesterday I think I finally did it. He came up to me before sacrament and just kind of stood there waiting for me to talk to him so I asked him if he was excited for the primary program (which was the most precious thing in the world. I died. So much) and he said yes and gave me a high five. Haha. Chinese people aren't extremely friendly so this was quite the triumph. 
Also he had a singing solo in the program that was the most incredible thing on Earth. So cute. 

 We saw Brother Chou again this week. He's still as adorable as always. Still has questions about Jesus being an alien and about smoking a thousand packs of cigarettes a day. But he is very precious. I have alot of hope and good feelings when we teach him.


 Actually Sister Jung is becoming more willing to schedule us more. She actually told us that she believes our church and the Book of Mormon is true and also believes Joseph Smith is a servant of God, but not a prophet. We're hopefully seeing her next week.


On the bright side while finding this week Sister Ng and I met this sweet old lady and she ended up coming to English class and church! She hit it off so well with one of our members Sister Yip. She is like eighty years old but plays the piano amazing and after church showed us all. She was loving the spotlight. It was adorable. However we have to turn her over most likely because she's from Indonisia but her mandarin is better than her cantonese and we're supposed to give mandarine speakers to the madnarin missionaries. That's pretty sad. Also because we found another cute new girl who also met with us at the church but she lives outside our area so we have to turn her over too. And Sister Yip introduced us to her friend who wants to take missionary lessons but she also needs to be turned over to mandarin missionaries. We are very good at finding people we can't teach. Oh well. More blessings.


I am happy family.  I am starting to love the missionary life and work and feel what I am doing is meaningful if for no one else for me.  I realize how much I love you the longer I am away.  I just have one last request. i read Genesis chatper 9 today the last verses and it is some crazy stuff! It's about Noah cursing his son and I can't use google but could you maybe look it up for me and see if there's some symbolism there or why it's included in the Bible and send that to me next week?   That would be great.  I love you guys soooooo much!
