#StinkyFeet

Hello World!!

I bought a facial mask and was expecting a cream or something. Instead it turned me into a MONSTER!

 

On my birthday, the other sisters bought me the most amazing chocolate cake *drools* and then wrote 20 compliments on 20 balloons. They're the sweetest. I loved it so much.

 

Translation: Except for your feet, you always smell really good! #nosolution

Reaction: Yeah, that sounds about right. 

 

 

I tried to sleep with all the balloons, but it didn't work out. Still got this picture though!

 

This is a bowl full of the famous chicken feet. Ada and Peggy love having us over, and every time we come over Ada cooks enough food for 12 people, not even kidding. But it's always delicious so we don't complain. They came to church this week to see the baptism of 8 year old Adia Wong (who was in my ward in Hawaii! Talk about a small world!) . They loved church (all the food after the baptism probably helped) and are going to try and come again next week! At first they didn't want to hear anything about the gospel, but I can see the Spirit softening their hearts. Now they're so curious and willing to listen. I love them so much 

 

We had a Relief Society activity where we made Oreo mousse cup things for father's day. They said "The first step is to take out the cream in the middle of the Oreo because it is far too sweet!" I was so sad! I ended up just eating about 1/4 of the cream anyway (which was a lot because we had about 6 boxes of oreos) and the members thought it was HILARIOUS that I had such a sweet tooth. That's America for you! I made an oreo parfait one for you dad, and thought of eating it for you. But I don't think you would ever eat an oreo without the cream AND without milk to dunk it in. It's un-american! #obviously...I'minHongKong

 

Then in the group picture at the end, I was probably the tallest person by 4 or 5 inches. When I told them I want to be taller they started arguing about whether or not I could find a boyfriend/husband if I'm that tall. I think this might be the running joke of my mission. I think it's so funny I love it so much.

 

My companion Sister Kessen and I are trying to talk to more people, and as soon as we put in extra effort we saw miracles. Like someone talking with us for 5 minutes, giving us 3 referrals, and then insisted she come with her to dinner (where we tried to pay for ourselves but she got there first). Or a man who stopped us on the street because he has questions about religion and we are ministers. 

Sister Kessen became a Sister Training leader and our zone was split so we're TINY. Just 6 sisters now. The real fun happens this week when the STL's need to go on splits. Sister Thompson and I will be out by ourselves with our cumulative 4 months experience with Hong Kong. I'm going to get so many fun stories out of this week!

 

The people of Hong Kong are amazing, and they are so prepared to hear this joyful message. The saddest things that happen are when people are being prepared by God to receive this message, receive all of these blessing, and they reject it. It breaks my heart. But I'll keep working, I'll keep trecking. This gospel means everything to me. The thought that my only purpose in life right now is to share what has been the biggest blessing in my life makes me indescribably happy.
