Hey!!!!!!  This week was funny When we go out, we say hi to everybody we pass! Our favorite thing to do is go to our pier and workout and talk to other people and see how we can help and serve them. On Saturday we were there and my companion tries her hardest to talk to people and act like she knows what's going on (she's usually really good at it) but this day, I saw her talking to this older woman and I go over to see if she needs help, and the woman is literally speaking to her in mandarin but she didn't even notice because she wouldn't understand even if it was cantonese HAHAH that definelty made me laugh pretty hard, good thing our mission president told us to start studying both mandarin and cantonese, so I was able to tell her who we were! I tried to ask her where she was from but I forgot it in mandarin so I tried canto but nothing...She was nice about it but knew zero cantonese, which I've never run into before!  We had zone conference this week! And geez o...

Hey!!  This week was full of ups and downs! It's really hard being in a blank area, but at the same time my companion and I have been really excited to get it more alive over here!  Because of the typhoon and having to stay inside sometimes, we've taken every opportunity to get outside! We've been loving getting out to a pier in our area and waving and talking to everybody! We were able to have some good conversations this week but still nobody really interested in the gospel... 喊出嚟 We live right next to the dirty mall... and.... we've gotten ice cream from a shop there four days in a row this week :))) Yesterday we had a cheng and stake conference! We had to take the bus, the mtr, the mini bus and then walk 2 miles but hey we made it  My greenie and her blisters, digestive issues and excessive sweating reminds me of when I first got here! It really wasn't even that long ago which is crazy! Her and I are basically the same person and she's really fun to work wit...

HEY EVERYBODY  so much happened this week I can't even wrap my head around it Last pday we went to Disneyland and oh my goodness it was so magical okay and so funny hearing Mickey and Minnie speak cantonese! They gave me a birthday pin SO FUN Also shoutout to Liz for getting me and my companion FREE TIX  So this week on Friday we had TRANSFERS! We had all the trainers line up on one side, and the new missionaries line up on the other side and then they had one new one step forward and then announce their trainer omg it was so intense haha but my new trainee is SISTER WIRIG!! Shes so cute and hungry to work it's amazing and it's so funny everybody says we look the same and have really simular personalities This week on Saturday was also my birthday! That morning we woke up to a message from our mission president that said that there was a level 8 Typhoon outside and that we couldn't leave our apartment for 24 hours LOL so that was a bummer but hey first Typhoon in Hong K...

Hey! Emotional week for sure!  Saturday night we got tranfer news! This was NOTHING we were expecting, it really came out of nowhere! So Im being white washed (going to a brand new area)-- Tsuen Wan where I will train a new American sister and serve as a Sister Training Leader! Super crazy, I'm so young haha! Super overwhelmed!  It's going to be really hard to leave the area I was born in and my only companion for my whole mission so far- sister pang! So yesterday was our last Sunday for our three Sunday wards and branch! It was super sad saying goodbye to everybody I have been serving my whole mission! This is my first, only, and favorite area and I'm going to miss it so much! Especially sad that we will be missing some of our friends baptisms who we've been with since the beginning of their journey learning about the Gospel!  Anyways- some fun stuff! Last pday we went to monkey mountain! It was absolutely insane, those monkeys are hilarious! It's was super super f...
