This week was our ward Chinese barbeque! We were so excited because we had a couple of investigators who said they would come, but the night before it rained super bad so they almost had to cancel it. But by some miracle it was sunny enough that we were able to go and Sister Jung and Bak Pohpo came! It was a super fun activity! While we were there I was talking to two little girls in our ward Gigi and Ji Ching. They are both eight years old and adorable. Gigi isn't actually a member because her parents don't want her to get baptized, but she comes to church every week with Ji Ching's family. We were playing and talking together when it started to rain. They got pretty worried and asked me what we should do. So almost jokingly I said "pray", because I'm a missionary and that's what we do and also I was implying that they pray on their own. But they just looked right at me and said "Ok" and then Gigi says, "I'll say it." They then bowed their heads and Gigi said a prayer for us, right there in the middle of the park. It was such a sweet prayer. She thanked Heavenly Father for our activity and asked Him to bless the sky not to rain. After we said amuhn and looked up there was a woman standing right by the table we were sitting at, looking at us. So I walked up to her and asked her if we could help her. She asked me if we had just been praying. I told her yes and then she started telling me about how she was also a Christian and how prayer was so powerful. I ended up being able to talk to her about the Restoration and Joseph Smith's prayer. She walked away afterwards without saying much, but I thought to myself how amazing it was that the example of two little eight year olds gave a lady the oppurtunity to learn about the gospel. Prayer really is so powerful. I'm grateful that these little girls reminded me of that this week.
So keep on praying for Hong Kong and I will keep on praying for you okay? Love you all so very, very much. xoxo <3
