Hey! Some highlights this week! We had transfers on friday and i got a new companion sister Chan!!! She is AWESOME! Shes my 4th companion, Weve just had a few days together but were really good friends and work well together! Introducing her to the ward and our friends was so fun! I am really excited for this transfer, theres lots to do in this area!  Before the transfer, sister thomas and i went to play tennis with a less active sister weve been working with! We went with her and her friends (seven 60+year old men) and it was incredible, they were all so funny and loved speaking with us! They invited us to come back and play again next week haha  We had dinner with our friend aTong! She is so funny and loves asking us about americans culture haha Its been on and off rain this week! We got drenched last pday This week was the last week of the temple open house and tours! It was SO cool to be able to be part of that! There was a pregnant woman walking by the temple just randoml...

THIS WEEK WAS AWESOME  The temple is opening again which is SUCH a blessings for the Hong Kong people!! As sister Missionaries, we get to help with the temple open House! We dont do the tours inside, but we help people before and after! Its awesome!! Weve gotten to know so many people in the different groups weve helped! One of the groups we guides was the area presidency which was craaazyyyy it was so cool! My companionship has three more five hour shifts the rest of this week and we cant wait!  On thursday we went to the crossroads and did service! We had a service leader volunteer from Hong Kong, he had a lot of fun teaching us cantonese slang while leading us through the tasks haha  We had exchanges and I took sister flitton out here to Tin Shui Wai! It was her first exchange and first time out of her area for six months! Sister flitton is AWESOME  Something crazy happened yesterday too! We have this friend on facebook that randomly showed up to church on sunday ...

I want to share a quick story that helped me apply a lot of what ive been learning recently! Yesterday we were sitting at church and in the middle of sacrament Meeting, a church member comes in from the hall and says theres a non member out there who wants to see us! So we go out to see who it is. To our surprise, it was nobody weve ever seen before! It was woman, she had purple hair, was wearing sweatpants with holes, a shirt with more than one stain on it, crocs (which I later gave her a complimented her for) and since she had her mask down to drink some of the Churchs water, I could see she has a few missing teeth. I was a little bit nervous about what she wanted from us to be honest haha but She explained that she was Walking outside and saw the name of our church and saw that we had 耶穌基督 Jesus Christ, and that she wanted him also! We sat down with her in the hall and she was telling me all about basically everything shes ever did in her life, and everything that shes going through...
