Hello everyone! How has your week been? Mine went well~
♡ I just want to update you guys about our friend Camille. She's progressing so well and is learning a lot. I remember when we first met Camille, she was just such a happy person filled with so much light. She looked so happy when we talked to her and exchanged numbers. We met her when I first got here to Hong Kong and we've been teaching her the lessons. We taught her 3 of the lessons already and it's been great! She comes prepared to the lessons and always has great questions which I feel like is the reason why she is learning so much! We invited her to be baptized and she said YES!! 
Hopefully things go well, she wants to learn more and right now is setting up her own schedule with us: she's basically the one doing missionary work haha. She said that she thinks she still has a long way to go and a lot more to learn. Her baptism date is on February 5th (hopefully!), she says that if ever she feels like she isn't prepared, she's going to push the date. I'm really excited for her and sooo happy for her, I already know she's going to be such a great friend and sister to the members of Wan Chai. One of the things Camille said was, "I want to take things seriously"

One of the things Camille said was, "I want to take things seriously"I love how she thinks of joining the church, and getting baptized as something very important. She believes that it is a choice she has to really think about and I love how she places so much importance on it. I'm so excited for her journey of learning!
♡ One of the goals I set was to start reading the New Testament again. I remember when I first read the New Testament and it filled a hole in my heart because of the many answers I had received. I started reading Matthew this week and I learned about the beatitudes. It repeatedly said "blessed are the... for they shall..." the Lord is already willing to grant us blessings, we just need to act in faith!
How was your week?

SISTER SY
but when we came back we saw a couple from our apartment bringing sooo many luggages. They were having a hard time moving their things and it was an opportunity for us to help them. We got to know them and be friends with them! They were visiting their children in New Zealand and won't be back for awhile, they were so happy that we helped them. The mom kept saying, "we are so lucky to meet you!" and the dad kept saying thank you, they were the nicest and sweetest people ever. I was so glad my comp left her wallet cause then it opened an opportunity for us to serve!! 
(Last Tuesday, we were going finding so we could reach our goal for the night to give away atleast 6 Books of Mormon. I had a funny experience. When we were at the MTR, I saw a person who looked Filipino but I spoke to her in Mandarin! We had a good conversation and she was shocked that I was from the Philippines and knew how to speak Mandarin. I didn't understand 70% of what she was saying and my companion left me alone so I couldn't ask her for help at all cause she was also talking to another person. She was actually Indonesian and she had broken Mandarin, so it was so nice to speak broken Mandarin with each other. 
Even if our Chinese was so poor, we got to understand each other and we eventually got to learn about each other and introduced myself as a missionary and gave her a book of Mormon. She asked if it was free and said "thank you I'm Muslim, I believe in Allah but I will accept this book." Her name was Lulu! I was so happy to meet her.)
in the middle of his singing, his stop arrived so he had to leave but sister Rucker threw a book of Mormon in his hand and asked if he was a Christian and he couldn't even answer and just took to the book of Mormon with him. When we arrived home, we said our prayers and were so excited to eat our dinner and before we could even eat someone starts calling us and tells us he found our book in one of the seats of the station (where the Italian guy stopped). We ate like 2 spoons of our meals and started running to the station because he said he wanted to give the book back but his voice was really unfamiliar and he just kept saying okay I'll meet you at this station. We were running really fast, and this was so hard for me because I have a really weak body. My calves started to hurt and burn and I thought I was gonna get cramps, my heart was beating really fast and I was sweating even if the weather was so cold!! All of it was so worth it because we met the person who called us and said, "I found your book at the seat in Sai Ying Pun. I asked the person who sat beside the book if it was his but he said no. I picked it up because this book looks really special. I know it's sacred because I saw the word Jesus Christ. I opened the book because I know there are numbers on this book so I called you." His name was Glen and he was Filipino, and we read a verse in 3 Nephi. We told him to keep it and he refused because he said he had a hard time reading scriptures because it was hard to understand and he didn't have a lot of time to read. We insisted that he keeps it and he did. Then he later said, "it's my second time to receive this book. There were also other missionaries who gave me a book like this." That was such a cool experience. Redirection! We gave a book of Mormon, we acted in faith by listening to promptings and God gave us an experience that helps us see His love for His children.
