7/28/2013: Hi Family!

Hello Family!

This week was good! Today we got summer missionaries, which are young women from Hong Kong who get to do little 2-week missions with us! My summer missionary's name is Sister Lin,  is 16, and seems cool and fun! It's going to be a fun 2 weeks! They're going to help us find all kinds of new investigators! Yay!

This week was fairly non-eventful, except that we got a FAMILY to come to church on Sunday! And they plan on coming back! It was super exciting, because in Hong Kong it is so hard to get families together and free and both wanting to come to church. It's usually just moms or other people. So exciting! It was a couple named Tang, and their little adorable baby. We're really excited about them! 

We got a lot of LAs and investigators out to a relief society activity this last Saturday, and then 3 out of the 5 who came came to church the next day too! One of the women who came (with her daughter) is On Ching's aunt who doesn't live in our area, but we met on the street a few months ago and invited to the baptism, and she herself showed up at the church to see if there was anything going on, if we were there, etc. She said things like the Law of Chastity and Word of Wisdom and Fasting sound really good-- she was like "What other rules do you guys have?" But when we'd try to teach you, she was just like "Ahh you just want to preach the gospel to me!" And I was like "Well you want to hear! You keep asking me all sorts of questions! Let me tell you the why!" It was funny and really cool. Hopefully she'll let us teach her soon!

We also got to see Wong Jimuih again! We haven't been able to get a hold of her or see her for about a month, but she was very excited to see us and felt really touched by the fact that we still cared about her. Her dad isn't really wanting her to come to church, so every time we've called her he's told us she's gone out, when we know that she rarely has time to go out. Sad.  But we will persevere!

Love you all! Thank you for the support! I hoped to upload some pictures from On Ching's baptism as well as me and my summer missionary companion, but the computer isn't letting me do it... :( Oh well! Next week!
