Elder Connor R. Duersch(Stan Theman鄧長老) Ministering to Hong
Kong 1 by 1! Chapter 74
你好!!!
The Computer I am using is strange so sorry for the weird
font and format here folks.
Sorry for the late email today. We went with Elder Allen and
Elder Newbold to go to Gyun Yam! A super awesome Monastery in Tai Wo!!! Yup so
my baby area is still making me come back hahaha. No matter how hard I try to
get away it seems that I still will be drawn back there. It is really one of my
top 3 favorite P-Days to do in Hong Kong. You have to schedule it in a month in
advance and Elder Adams and Newbold asked if we wanted to tag along so we did. It
took a while to get there from where we live but it was super worth it!
This week was pretty cool with the things that happened.
We went to CrossRoads this week and we went to Maintenance.
That means WOOD WORKING!!!! I was so excited. For those who don't know I
absolutely love wood working!!! It is one of my favorite things to do. They
asked if we spoke Chinese cause the man that works down there only speaks Chinese.
So we went down to meet him and it turns out that we were gluing doors and
such. But the smell of a wood shop was fantastic. His name was DTC(David the
Carpenter) Turns out when people address him they call him that name and also
when people come to talk to him they address him as Master. So the way you
would say master in Cantonese is how you say Shifu's name in Kung Fu panda so
that was super cool. I was so happy that day and we also heard some Enya music
from Avatar and Gladiator playing in the background which I wasn't sure if it
was ok to listen to since it was instrumental, but it made me super happy and
at peace. We had a super good lunch with roast duck and some steamed egg plant.
I have never eaten Egg plant before and I have eaten it a lot in Hong Kong and
I love it!!!
Transfers:
So, the whole mission seems to have gotten a lot of change
this transfer, except for our companionship. So, I am staying in TinShuiWai for
another 6 weeks.
Stephen:
We were on our way to church this week and on the train, we
saw Stephen walk in and he was doing his come follow me book on the train. It
was super cool to see him doing this! He was also able to pass the sacrament
this week as well and that was a true blessing to see. He is going to have an
interview for his recommend this week and hopefully soon we can go to the
temple.
Other things this week was some basketball with Stephen. A
member family gave us some KFC to eat and it was super yummy! The Egg tarts are
also good! Also, Sister Chan chenged us to some Yam Cha and it was super good
that morning. The day before we had some Tai Curry and it destroyed us!!! So
eating all the food the next morning was super hard and I kept having to run to
the bathroom. She is an amazing ward member. After we ate we asked her to pray
real quick on an area we should go. She prayed and we pulled out a map and she
pointed us where to go. We then asked what message to share. and she said about
Love. So we went off and we found 2 people with some interest and they were
willing to give us there numbers. really fun idea to try with the members to
have them get into the missionary spirit.
That pretty much is it for the week and Chinese New year is
soon upon us coming up on the 5 of February so we will see how the work goes
when that time comes around.
Love you all and hope you have a great week!
Yours in Fellowship and Love,🐲🐼✌🍜
