So my area is still..my area. It struggles. We literally had a banana thrown at us from the top floor of a building the other day. It was actually pretty funny but only because they missed. In Sister Cotes last area they were humble and very receptive to being taught. This surprised me as this is the only area I know. Ive thought about this alot. I told her that I feel like a people who are willing to throw bananas at us are more gutsy and far more humorous than the humble receptive crowd. We both laughed alot over the thought but Im sticking with it. Bring me the courageous funny banana throwers and lets really talk about whats important. I am praying so much that Sister Cote and I can find a new investigator. In our meeting with the Ward Mission Leader he asked how much time we spent teaching this week and when I told him an hour he just looked at me with his mouth open wide and said "that's the most sad" hahah I died. Yip, we hear you brother, it is the most sad, but welcome to our world of being female in Hong Kong and pleading with people to listen to you. It was pretty much the most embarrassing thing of my life. Okay not quite, as you well know I have alot more embarrassing, but almost. My new companion is awesome. We discovered last night that we watch all the same tv shows and had a trip down the memory lane. It feels like a planet ago. She feels very much like a sister and I feel thankful God sent such a fun loving soul to me at this time when we need a fresh kick start in this stagnant area. We have laughed alot. The laughing heals me head to toe from exhaustion.
We met this 11 year old kid named Peter last week who got obsessed with us when we met him on the street cause we're american. He started singing all these songs and asking us if we knew what all these American things were and wouldn't even let us get a word in. Then we gave him a flier which means he has our number and yeah he's called us, not an exaggeration, probably 300 times since we met him. Hahah I die. He's so cute. We usually don't answer and Sister Ng said we should block him but I told her God loves all his children and that convinced her to keep him. Last night Sister Cote had her first conversation with him and it was the funniest thing of my life. How can you not love this kid? What if he is my only investigator? Oh please, God moves in a mysterious way. Im not kidding I really do feel a pull to this sweet hilarious kid like dont push him away. Anyways. Im doing good family. God is strengthening me from the inside out. Just like you always say, the situation doesnt change, but you change and grow and it looks so much brighter and hopeful with time. Im so thankful for this precious new companion. She was made for me right now. We are going to laugh and try and work and notice how bright the sun is every day. Have a great week family
