Hope things are going super well for you all! I have had some pretty interesting things happen to me this week so here is what went down and some Highlights.
We had a really cool activity with the Elders Quorum in our ward. They took us to a BBQ place. But it isn't like the BBQ place you are thinking of. They literally bring a TON of meat that you just throw on a fire and grill or Char in my case. We tried so many different meats there and they tasted so good! Bishop Wohng brought some interesting looking stuff and I asked him what it was. It was the Skin from Squid. So we threw that on the fire and it was like eating a balloon that you chucked in the fire with some sweet and sour honey syrup sauce on it. Not bad actually.
Later in the week we had dinner at a place called 101 with a man named Roy. He worked in the Navy in the US for a while and got married and is living in Hong Kong. He has lived here for the past 10 years so he knows his way around. We found him when we were passing out English class pamphlets to some people on a bridge. He stopped and started talking to Elder Beeson for like 10 min. So I waddled over and we talked for like 40 min. He wanted to talk with us again and so we went to dinner the next week. The restaurant was so GOOOD!! 68 HK dollars for a big meal, fried chicken, and a huge strawberry shake Mug. We got to know him more and he really wants to talk with us more. So we will see what will happen with him.
Finally, I got to meet Connor!!!! He literally looks like an Chinese Harry Potter and is the coolest guy ever! We asked him how things have been going with his family. For those of you who forgot, Connors family was against him being baptized and eventually Elder Beeson and his old companion softened them up and right when he was about to be baptized, his older brother was against it and changed his parents minds. So they wont let him read the Book of Mormon at home or go to Church. But he can come to ward activities. We got to know him a bit more and then shared the story in Mosiah 24 about how the prisoners would be killed if they were caught praying. We compared it to his family situation and told him if he read and prayed every day with a sincere heart his family would let him get baptized! So he found an app on his phone of the Book of Mormon and we followed up yesterday and he said we was reading and praying every day. I was so glad to hear that from him. We just need to keep being his friend and supporting him in all he does. He wants to be baptized and we are planning on having the bishop come with us to our next lesson this Tuesday hopefully if he cant come we will just teach about Fasting and the blessings from that.
So that was just some of my weekly WOWS and I will for sure have more here as time goes on.
I was reading in 3 Nehpi with the Chapters of Christ and I would encourage you all to read them and not just read, but GORGE your self's and feast one every little word and dissect each chapter, verse, and sentence! Hold fast to what you know is true and read and Pray every day. It will bless you and I can promise you that for I have seen it bless me out here!
LOVE YOU ALL!!!! Stay safe and Weird!
Yours in Fellowship and Love,σΎπ²πΌ✌π
