Put Your Shoulder to the Wheel

Leihdeih Hou!

     I'm afraid there isn't much to say this week. Things have been going really good though. The beginning of the week was a little rough because we had a lot of time to go finding and the weather was not in our favor. When it's raining no one wants to stop and talk to you or take a Book of Mormon. Sister Luk and I reevaluated ourselves and realized our faith was a little low so we decided to do a faith find (you go out for 2 hours with complete faith that you will have success and find a new investigator). Faith finds bring miracles! We were able to talk to so many people and give out lots of Books of Mormon. We didn't find a new investigator like we thought we would, but maybe we did and we just don't know it yet! 
 
     Alice is doing really good! She takes the lessons really well and really has the desire to learn more about this gospel. We were concerned about her working and not being able to come to church or meet with us during the week, but she told us recently that she doesn't have to work anymore. Miracle! If all continues to go well, she will be on track to be baptized next month. She is super cute and funny and I love her! She has also adjusted to coming to Yuen Long 1 ward so that's encouraging!

     This week we had a stake activity where the missionaries had to do two performances. Since our district is so diverse, we decided to sing the hymn "Israel, Israel God is Calling" which each verse being a different language. We did Cantonese then Mandarin then sign language then English. For the second performance, we did a Samuel the Lamanite skit. I wish I could add the video on here because it was so funny! The elders in our district are the best! And then in honor our Pokemon Go, the Hung Shui Kiu district missionaries reenacted Pokemon haha! I will find a way to let you watch these videos because they are too funny!

     In other news, do you remember Wan Ji Muih? She was a less active I worked with but I had to turn her over to the Yuen Long 2 elders because she lived in their area. Well about a month ago she got reactivated and her son Peter was reactivated a couple week ago too! Peter is 16 and his sister Crystal turned 8 yesterday so Peter was able to baptize Crystal. I was so happy for the whole family! I may not serve them anymore, but it still makes me so happy to see how much this gospel can change people's lives and no matter how far-gone you think you are, you can always come back.

     I love all of you and hope you have an amazing week this week!
Scripture of the Week: Mosiah 3:19 Overcoming the natural man is one of the hardest things to do, but all of us can focus on the Lord and become like Him.
Quote of the Week: Don't say, "I want this to happen" but ask, "What should I expect to happen?"

Elder Wong: What do you think of your picture?
Sister Luk: Ohhhh! It's so ugly! I'm sooo sorry! 
Hahahaha! I love Sister Luk and her drawing skills! 


She did better the second time haha!

We celebrated Sister Wong's 18th birthday by getting lunch together :)

It was blue, black, & gray day in our apartment! It's so funny because we all got dressed separately haha!

I love Alice! And Sister Luk!

Happy 8th Birthday Crystal!
