Hi mommyyyy Gosh today was so hard, im currently crying its 10:30pm, im doing language study and trying to prepare for this missionary prep class that were teaching tomorrow! Gosh im so stressed lately! I cant eat, I cant sleep! Im so you!! So many people are depending on me and ah I love it but at the same time, so much pressure! Like ik even if I do bad, things are going to be okay but like I dont want to let anybody down! Not even just with tomorrow class, the video I posted yesterday stressed me out, just because it was another thing on my list I had to do! like president puts a lot of pressure on me to train and be good companion to my companion when its really hard sometimes as well as being stl, lots of sisters depend on me to give them good advice (which I actually have a cool expierence with this ill tell you on pday) but and then stake Corrilation is coming up, I really really dont like those! I have to give a Training in zone conference in front of the whole mission and spea...

Okay and heres a second email just for food again... 

Hey hey! 早晨 This week was really good, its been really cold and rainy! I dont have a ton of time, but heres a really good quote that I liked a lot this week!  “No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God … and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire and which will make us more like our Father and Mother in heaven” (cited in Spencer W. Kimball, Faith Precedes the Miracle [1972], 98). Have a safe week everybody! Sister C

Hey! Happy HK valentines day/ USA super bowl day!!  It was a really good week! Theres been a lot more restrictions put on Hong Kong to keep safe from the pandemic! We can no longer meet with anybody we dont live with, and cant gather outside more than two people, so my companion and I can still go for walks every day with each other which is nice haha but with the restrictions its been a struggle to do much! Instead of being sad, or frusterated about what we can no longer do, weve been looking for what its supposed to teach us! Weve found, especially this last week, that weve needed to be more prayerful! We pray every day for opportunies to serve others and talk with them (over the phone mostly)!  On a walk in Tsuen Wan the other day, we ran into one of our ward members who hasnt been to church in quite some time! He was so excited to see us on the street, and he asked to say a prayer with us! So we stood in a circle (socially distanced from him) and he said a beautiful prayer...

More chinese new year eats :)))

新年快樂！ Happy Chinese New Year everyone! Wow it has been quite the week! We celebrated chinese new year, sister ngan died off the mission, another trip to the doctors and we had transfers!! Chinese New Year was super fun! It was cool being in the culture where its celebrated so big!! Its also a weird realization that I can actually read and understand chinese characters  Sister ngan (a sister I used to live with for four months) just got released and finished her mission! SO SAD , shes still in Hong Kong so we will see her every once in a while! We had another transfers because three  new sister Missionaries from Hong Kong started their missions! Sister Wirig and i have been together for about four months and she just graduated her Training so we thought for sure we would get split this transfer! But we stay another transfer together and we are so excited!! This week was a little bit slower due to the pandemic situation, plus the chinese new year, so a lot of people didnt brothe...
