S4:E18 The One Where We Have A Dialect Activity!

 


Hey everyone! 大家好!

Okay this was such a crazy busy week, we had so many activities and meetings to do!! Don't even know where to begin. But let's goooo!

♡ We had dinner at Ade's apartment last Monday and we had such a great time together. I was praying so hard for the gift of tongues cause her brother in law was there and literally was a rap god it wasn't just his accent but he was using so many unfamiliar words haha but one of the compliments I got from him was that my Mandarin was good and that if I went to Mainland they wouldn't even know I'm like a foreigner or what. So that was so nice of him to say that and compliment my Mandarin yahoooo! We had all of the different kinds of topics that night haha it started with missionary work and then it shifted to Tao Bao and how you can buy a house, a car basically anything on Tao Bao and then it shifted to idioms. It was a super super fun 请 that we had and we were able to learn more about culture in China!! The conversation was so good that we left their house at 10pm... yeah yeah it was so bad we didn't know how to stop the conversation cause they just kept going and found. We got home at like 10:45 bahaha they were all talkers. But they were such a sweet family. My 9:30pm alarm even rang 😭☠️

♡ We had our mission conference with President Lund and Elder Newman and Elder Johnson! It was such a cool experience to learn more about lasting discipleship and conversion to Jesus Christ. They all had such fun experiences in their mission and it just made it so much more meaningful for us. 

♡ Last Wednesday as we go out to go to the chapel to help with the activity, I out of nowhere just told the whole apartment that we were gonna meet a girl from Shanghai. I said that she would be a super cool friend and she will live in Hong Kong and that we were gonna meet her. As we were walking together to the church I was keeping my eyes wide open for anyone who might have Mainland vibes yknow yknow and then we arrived at the chapel and didn't meet a girl from Shanghai. But the next day as we were having our district council meeting, an elder called us and said there was a girl from Shanghai downstairs and so we hurried and went down. We met her and her son, Summer and Oscar and so naturally of course we asked where they were from and they said Shanghai!!!! What the flip. And then we asked if they were visiting and they said they live here. WHAAAAAT. They said they were Christian and they were finding for Sunday School for her son to attend. CraaaaAAAaaaAaAzzzyYYyy!! If you need to know anything about the future just ask me ;) jk

♡ We had a really good lesson with Cindy about the plan of salvation and she had awesome questions that also made me think and reflect. I love it when lessons also allow me to learn, not just a one sided thing. She asked "why did Jesus do the atonement?" Such an awesome question to reflect on. 

♡ We had dinner with the Lee Family and all the food was so good aaaa we ate lasagna, some salad and some awesome cake and I have no pictures of anything. ☠️ But we also played shaggidy shaggidy, a game that I introduced to them that they all enjoyed. I love their family so much especially their kids. They are all so sweet and nice. 

♡ Transfer interview!!!!! Yoooooo it was kind of a scary interview cause president Chan asked me some questions yknow some hints for the next transfer. Anyway it's happening really soon and there's no stopping it. 

♡ Our dialect activity was such a success! So many Filipinas came and we all got to see some performances from different parts of the Philippines! It was a crazy week and day inviting people to the activity. Glad it's over and that it was a success!

♡ We called our friend Lilly last night and it was the sweetest call ever. She told us a lot of things like how she used to be married to someone and how all of her life she thinks she's never had true happiness. She's literally that person that PMG talks about. She talked about how she's never found peace in her life and we offered to take her to the temple and she was so excited!! We hope that this plan with her will really do through and that she'll have wonderful time in the temple. So many exciting things!! 🧚‍♀️💕
