你好!!!
The weather here is getting super interesting. It is now December as well which is also really strange!!! It honestly felt like Christmas was a couple months ago and I was still back in Tai Wo hahaha. Good times! The weather is now rising in temperature due to the world warming and all that fun Sciencey type of Jazz so it is really throwing off Hong Kongs Weather Pattern. But, if it was anything like last year, January is gong to be absolutely perfect and then it will be deathly freezing to the bones hahahaha. It is getting warm. I saw pictures of American Fork and how it is all white ready for the good o'l man himself coming in red and white to help us feel the Christmas Spirit!!!
So for this week we went to a sports outlet where a good friend of ours Stanley gave us a 30% off coupon for stuff. So the catch was we all had to use it in one store so we all had to find something that we like in one store. There was a super cool hoodie from Addidas that turned inside out that was nice. Then we went to Nike and then we found some good stuff. I found an Airforce 1 air jordan sweater thing that has a Kangaroo pouch!!! I saw it and was just like,"I need that in my life! I can get so much stuff in that pouch and to movies hahaha! I got a blue one and elder Van Leeuwen got a white one. We went to Kowloon and talked to some friends.
Also in the mission there is a Hong Kong Choir that is being made for the Christmas season. I said I had interest in it and then I was told that I would be the Conductor for the Choir!!! Oh boy, I guess I have to dust of my baton and get to work hahaha. Then I say an old friend coming through the door to the Choir Practice. Sister Lambert from home was there to be in the choir!!! Turns out she has some solo's and such and it was super crazy seeing someone from home. I almost cried because of the memories that came flooding back to me. She also spoke Cantonese and that was also one of the weirdest parts!!!
At Cross Roads a while ago we had to move some super heavy dressers into a storage container and they was super hard. So this week we got assigned to shed and Jaxon was like come follow me and so we followed him and he said he needed help with something.......we had to take those bad boys out of storage ahhhhhhh!!!! But it wasn't all of them so that was a breather. Last time it was wth 4 people and it was just me and Elder day!!! We got it though and it was super funny! Then we had to move some chairs and set up some table and chair sets to be wrapped and then sent to the shed. Last was talking some chairs out of this truck and putting em in a tent. I love X-Roads so much! It really makes my week when we get to go and serve. We also do missionary work there as well and it is fun to see people from across the world with there different beliefs and views!
This Month is light the world and Saturday was the world wide day of Service. So we had a super fun ward activity as a stake to wrap some little presents and give them to those who are in need of some Christmas love. We wore some hats and also Elder Hommer of the 70 came to help out as well. It went really quick with all the people and it was planned for like an hour and a half was actually only about a half and hour!!! The other thing this week was we did some caroling and hot chocolate to see if people wanted to come to the church for a chapel tour. We had the zone there and some people came but it was super fun. We had a ward member named Andrew come with his guitar and he played while we sang! So much Fun!
So now onto the biggest part of this week! We met with Stephen for his lesson on what to do for baptism and we went through the questions and he is so ready!!! HE is getting Baptized on the 9th!!!! He said he is going to get some nice cloths for it. I am so blessed to have him in my life and to see the Gospel change him!!! He is such a great friend and will be for the rest of my life!!!
Love you all so much and I can't wait to tell you all about next week!!! Keep the Christmas spirit of Service and love everyone!!!
Yours in Fellowship and Love,🐲🐼✌🍜
