S4:E14 The One Where Hans Gets Baptized

 


大家好!


This week was transfers week #safe. I've already been serving in Wan Chai for 6 months! I have no where else to go anyway haha another transfer of getting to know and love the members.

♡ On Tuesday we went to Elder Dai's apartment 🤭 cause our friend Yang Yang came back! And so sister Dai invited us over with them and we spent a really long time with them just chatting with them and seeing Yang Yang's baby. It's so cool to me how women have the power and ability in them to have children. She and her husband were so hands on with their daughter and it was just so cute looking at them cause they are first time parents and it was so pure. 

♡ We then went to Sheung Wan to visit Zhao JM, Michael and Harry. She is my favorite member! She's just so cool, lowkey, and chill. I forgot to take a picture with their family and that was the saddest part cause we were able to talk to her sons and develop a better relationship with them. They both remind me of my brothers 🥴 Zhao JM prepared some really awesome seafood and Michael was playing the piano for us and HE WAS SUCH A PROFESSIONAL PLAYER. It's so cool how he could read notes so fast! They also had 2 nameless birds and it was so funny and scary. Hope we could go back and visit their house and actually take a picture with them. Sometimes I listen to members while they talk and I get really sad knowing that soon I won't be able to visit them often. I've grown to love these people so much and just the thought of being away is so scary and sad! Zhao JM has always had a hard time trying to help her children love the gospel or even come to church. But recently Michael got his Melchizedek Priesthood and it made her so happy! So happy for Zhao JM cause I know she wishes her family could receive the blessings of the priesthood.

♡ Wednesday was our busiest day! We met with Grace and 🥁🥁🥁 SHE'S ON BAP DATE FOR MAY 31!!!!!! YAAAAAY. I am so excited for her to unlock more blessings after her baptism. I just dream about the day I get to see her and her family in white in front of the temple. She is absolutely bombers. She has been reading the pamphlets we gave her and the Book of Mormon we gave her! She's like the perfect investigator haha she's been doing every single thing we've asked her to

♡ We met Bella Lu yayayay she's from Shenzhen but she was a referral from the sister missionaries in Sacramento! She is so SOSOSO COOL so we went to the temple with her and had a really good temple lesson in which we had to go back to the chapel cause of all the bug bites we were getting hahaha but she was absolutely great!! She asked to be taught like everything and she was just so eager to learn more and know all of the commandments she has to keep. She was so excited about living the gospel of Jesus Christ so that was pretty sweet of her 💕 she talked about how repentance and change makes her so happy and that it isn't a punishment but a chance to fix your mistakes

♡ We also had a full day exchange with Cheng 姊妹!! So happy to have her around with us. She's just so cute and her happy-go-lucky attitude is so contagious. But yeah we walked like from Wan chai to HKU 😭 Hong Kong is starting to get so hot ✋️ we are melting here~ 

♡ zOoOOOoOOne conference was a blast! I think just listening to President Chan speak makes me so grateful to have a wonderful mission president. He certainly knows what each of us need to hear and he is filled with revelations! One thing I loved about zone conference was President Chan's sincerity in appreciating all of the work we've done for this transfer. Another thing I loved was getting to prepare myself listen to President Monson's talk "Anxiously Engaged", a wake up call to remind us all and reflect about our efforts in serving others. Are we constantly thinking about how we can help others or are we waiting to be asked?

♡ We met with Zoe at a Singaporean restaurant, that was my first time at one. She's so cute and she's from Fujian! :)

♡ Hans got baptized on Sunday!!!! Our golden boy finally got baptized. He was wanting to be baptized for so long and it's so happy to see him enter into a covenant with God. He literally stole our job by just answering all our friends' questions, he took our job at the visitor centre but that makes me so happy to see him be a missionary! It's so happy to see his desire to share the gospel increase. He even talked about how "cake is good, but you won't know unless you try" and connected that with the Book of Mormon. HE'S JUST THE BEST!!!!!

How was y'alls week? Lemme know how it went. I invite you guys to accept President Nelson's invitation to read 3 Nephi and learn more about your Savior 😌
