早安！
It's the summertime and everything feels so SLOW. I feel like people in Hong Kong are running faster to be away from the heat and maybe us too. It's been so so hot but the work continues, even if it causes heatstroke :)
☆ On Tuesday morning we went to Victoria Park before starting our studies. We met 2 Glaiza's! Both from the Philippines. The 2nd Glaiza we met was from Davao and we invited her to sports night and she was so so interested about it and told us that she recently got terminated which was so sad. After we told her we could help her she was interested haha at first she wouldn't really give her number but then later found us sitting down and asked for our number. Anyway she came to church the day after! We were sitting down in the park and doing our studies. I pulled out my umbrella because MAN was it hot but we needed to be community missionaries. We were getting bug bites and sunburnt but hey there was this guy who noticed us and asked us if we were Mormons so we invited him to church! Yay community missionaries! Then we went to Tai Koo to try visiting a less active member and lo and behold the 保安's wouldn't let us in heeeeeeheeeee so we couldn't visit her but the spirit called us another way and so we went to the park closest to her house and got to talk to another Filipina and got to invite her to church too! But then it gets better, we met another Filipina who was pregnant and was due like on that day. We got to talk about how the gospel blesses families and she messaged us the next day informing us that she just gave birth. Her name is Adona so please keep her in your prayers. Hopefully she will be interested in hearing a gospel message! After a day just meeting lots of Filipinas we were able to go to HKU and meet our friend Joey. We had a lesson with her and Anson and the lesson didn't go so well.... her mind was everywhere and she didn't seem as interested anymore. Hopefully she replies to us again soon but hey! Slow progress is still progress!
☆ Wednesday interviews!!! Nothing too much to talk about for interviews, it was pretty chill. President Chan was just asking me about training and how my area is doing. We aren't affected by the change but we just removed one zone in the mission. There is huge change coming to the mission!! In the evening we got to go to sports night with Lorraine. Oh my goodness it was a miracle!!! She told us that she wasn't really interested in being affiliated with religion but we told her about sports night and she was really interested so she did come. Hopefully her heart will slowly open to learn more
☆ On Thursday, I went on exchanges with Sister Hernandez and we went to Sheung Wan to find people. We set a very specific goal of finding a Filipina wearing workout leggings. And we actually did!! We had a really good conversation about families. Such a fun exchange with her. Then Thursday evening we went to Zhang Jun Hua's house with Huang DX. We got to talk about conversion stories and it prolonged like until 9:30 
I definitely got roasted on because we arrived so late lol. As we were on our way home it was already like 10:15 and we just arrived to our station. We hear people say "你也想要做传教士吗？" and we face back and say hey! And they were the members from Shanghai

And they were the members from Shanghai☆ Friday we were able to go to Friday church with Glaiza and hang out with all the Filipina sisters who got terminated. It was so sad to hear their stories and just all their hardships.
☆ On Sunday there were lots of people from Shanghai who came and there were some changes that were made for our mission!
