S3:E17 The One Where We Celebrate Chinese New Year 🧧


                                                     


 大家好

新年快乐!

Although the work is going slow here in Victoria 1st, it's still doing great.

I'm learning to love the members here and develop patience with them. This branch really does have special people with different needs. Being a missionary is such an eye-opener, to mourn with those that mourn, to stand with those that stand in need of comfort. I always knew everyone had their own burdens to carry but then now I've come to know how heavy it actually is.

There is a BYU speech called "Flashes of Light" that I invite you guys to listen and reflect upon. In times of darkness, we can always turn to the light and seek for that light. The Lord's tender mercies are around us and we can be more spiritually sensitive to them.

Our recent convert, Chelsea, also had the chance to come to the temple. What a happy day to see her inside! She is so GOLDEN ✨️ after her temple experience, she was interested in doing family history work and shared to us how she has been talking to her family about the experience she has had with baptism and that she wants her little sister to be baptized too. "If you bring just one soul unto Him, how great shall be your joy!", I'm so happy to know that one choice can bless futures of generations. 

This week is TRANSFER CALLS !! Let's get it I guess 😭 so scared for whatever's gonna happen: both staying and leaving

Pictures:

1. Quiana, sister Cheng's sister! She's so cute, I wish I could speak Cantonese so I could understand her better. Her dad says we could pass of as sisters haha she wants to serve a mission next year

2. The beautiful Hong Kong Island

3. Sister Ansah (wearing pink) and Emy (wearing yellow)! Sister Ansah served her mission in Hong Kong and married someone from South Africa. She has a crazy story about her life, she is suffering with cancer and then got into a car accident but she is still going and is the bubbliest person I've met. Her attitude towards her life's challenges is inspiring.

4. Mcflurry after pros-hours haha we got home late after sending one of our apartment-mates food at the hospital.
