你好!!!

Hello!!!! How are we all!? This week was a kinda normal one and there are more pictures and the video that can explain better, but I will do my best as well to tell all of you lovely people what has happened this week.

House of the Lord:

This week was temple week so we did get to go to the temple with our district. It is always a great thing to go to the temple. When I was in the MTC we went every week and out here in the field we get to go every 3 transfers. SO that would mean I only have about 2 or 3 times left to go to the Hong Kong temple. It is truly one of the greatest blessings we have as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saint to go to the house of the Lord and seek his guidance in our lives. If you live near a temple close by please go as often as you can. The work is still needing to be done to help people on both sides of the veil.

Good and bad food:

So yes i tried cooking this week and there were 2 times i did it. One was good and the other one.....not so much. Well both were good but the one that was bad I added some frozen peppers into it and I had no idea actually how spicy the things were. Elder Robinson and I were dying hahahah. the other time was last night when we fasted all day and so I looked through the fridge and found lots fo stuff so I was like ok lets see what I can do. I made some super good sauced meat with some vegies and rice!!! The best meal I have made out here on my mission yet!!!

We also went to cross roads this week and we were in charge of taking down all the Christmas decorations and it was super funny. We went to the cafeteria and had to take down a tree and the problem was they didn't have a box to do it. SO Elder Robinson and I had to go and find a box and the one we found was massive!!! You could fit 5 elders in it hahaha. It was super funny! The cafeteria is called Narnia and Elder Robinson told me about it cause I have never seen or read it before. So that was fun.

Not to much else this week I can think of.....oh wait Stephen got a calling this week! He is the Sunday school secretary! He is also doing the come follow me program and he loves it so much!!! The 2 hour church is a new change and it is actually super cool!!! You get to go to the new classes and this Sunday was a really good one for me! I was able to really understand what people were saying and it was good to see the gift of tongues kick in.

That is all for this week and I will let you all know what more fantastic stuff will happen as it follows next week.

Love ya all and I hope you really try and go to the temple more often and really see what he needs you to do to help increase the capacity of your spiritual growth!
