S4:E23 The One Where We Do Some Whiteboard Finding

 

大家好!

☆ We went to HKU to do some surveys! We got there and the escalator was broken so we had to take another way and route. We didn't know another way so we started following this random student. We climbed up some stairs in the parking lot 💀 but God blessed us as we started our surveys 😇 cause we got to talk to 2 girls who were interested in learning more about Christianity! And they were both from Mainland YAY friends for our area #miracles and one of them came to church yesterday. So fun!

☆ A testimony about prayer: as we were doing our visitors centre shift there wasn't a lot of success but we went back inside to say a specific prayer and we went out and got to have really good gospel conversations. :))

☆ We called Rose this week and got to hear her conversion story, we also invited her to share it with other people. During fast and testimony Sunday we got to hear a bunch of conversion stories from our members. And they all had a light in their eyes remembering how they first met the missionaries or were introduced to the church. And they had so much joy talking about their children and families. 

☆ Had a chance to do an exchange with Sister Rodriguez and learn from her. It's interesting to see someone from a different branch of work see what Mandarin work looks like because the strategies and the skills we use in Mandarin work are different from Filipino work! But she was such a bold missionary just asking these super big straightforward questions haha. We got to meet a few students and talk about how religion helps them or how they're interested in learning about how religion can help them. 

☆ Sister Liu and I got to do a training on whiteboard finding using her drawing skills. It's been super fun using the whiteboard as we find people. It's so much easier to approach people and start a conversation with them. And so we went out finding and Sister Liu drew this AMAZING drawing of the Wan Chai Chapel and we asked people if they wanted to do a Chapel tour. It was pretty cool!! As we were finding people I wanted to challenge Sister Liu by choosing which direction to take and I see myself in her a lot. A new missionary who is scared of making decisions and a new missionary who is scared of not knowing whether the spirit is talking to them or not. It's so cool to see her grow in confidence and more trust in herself and the spirit as she goes on this work. And the little happy face she made when we got to talk to someone because she trusted the spirit on which direction to take. 

☆ We got to meet Lorainne again after a long time. Although she has no interest in learning about the gospel yet I'm glad she still wants to keep the friendship we've already built. Please continue praying for her that she'll slowly open her heart and that someday she will accept the gospel message. 

☆ We got to go to Cheung Chau to visit Huang DX and his family!! The boat ride going there was okay and then the next one was so bad haha but we got to hear their conversion stories and had a discussion about how the book of Mormon has helped our lives. Toto has been preparing himself to go on a mission and he's so shy about it haha. So nice to see that he'll probably be receiving his call soon. Hopefully we can be here to witness it!

☆ We went to the harbour with Joey after we did break the fast. ALSO WE HAD ADOBO AND REALLY GOOD BROWNIES. Anyway we leave break the fast and she literally tells us she wants to say bye to someone haha and so she said bye to this guy named Oscar who speaks Spanish she probably has a little crush on him lol and so we asked her "你觉得他是帅哥吗" and she starts laughing. It was so funny cause she didn't even talk to him the whole time but wanted to say bye to him hahaha its cute. We went to the harbour and asked her if she wanted to learn more and she said yes!! So we taught her half of the restoration and taught her how to pray. We took the cutest picture but then we got the picture an hour later and she completely edited our faces IT WAS SO FUNNY LOL HAHAHA

☆ Me and Sister Liu went to this garden AND IT WAS THE CUTEST PLACE EVER!!! I felt like I was in a Korean drama. I would love to live in a place like what we visited. It was so so so pretty!! We are also having some really good hotpot right now.
