S7:E3 The One Where We Do Balloon Finding 🎈

 


早上好!

15 months 👻

We started this week trying a new university campus, it's called hkust. Anyway, it took us 2 hours to go there haha 😂 we took the wrong bus, and then waited 40 minutes for the mini bus which were all not in service and then realized we were on the wrong stop bahah and then it took us another hour lol we were wondering if Heavenly Father was telling us not to go or go. But we finally made it anyway hahaha! And it has by far been the best university campus I've ever been in!

We also tried a new way to find people, balloon finding! One of the sisters in the mission used to work as a clown and taught us how to make balloons. It was such a fun find! So many kids came up to us and at some point I was so stressed making the balloons cause everyone wanted a flower and they were all popping hahaha anyway I'm coming home with a new skill lol

Another cool miracle we had was we had a pass off lesson that turned into an hour lesson and then we were supposed to start heading to hkust but the elders called us back for a few minutes and then we started making our way back again to the mtr which led to us meeting a girl named Alice! Turns out she was from Mainland and she was super duper friendly with us, we also found out she just converted herself into Christian. And we also found out she was a student at hkust so she helped walk us to the right bus so we wouldn't get lost. It was so cool! These simple miracles still amaze me until now. 

At hkust we also met this guy Robinson, he's from Kenya. While we were doing our studies on campus we just exchanged a few smiles with him and as we were on our way to leave the campus I felt like he wasn't okay. So we walked up to him and asked him if he was fine, he started sharing how being far away from home was hard for him. Not knowing anyone in Hong Kong and having no friends was also hard for him. It felt so good to talk to him and comfort him. We are hoping he'll come to our activities to make friends! Please include him in your prayers.

We also got to help 杜姐妹 start her family history tree and it has been so special trying to help her as she explains more about her family background and her life story and how her ancestors passed away. It's been in the making! She's been waiting so long for someone to help her create her account and tree but no one has offered to help her yet. I'm so glad we get to be the ones to help her! 

What have I learned this week?

BE AND DO

These two things complement each other, when we want to become something we need to do something in order for us to become who we want to become. 

The verbs be and do are a doctrinal pair. They complement one another and go together.
