I got a package this week!! I took a ton of picture unwrapping it and it's going to last me until Christmas there was so much stuff (THANKS MOM AND DAD!!). I'll send pictures next week (can't send pictures when I email at the library, which btw is where I'm at).
Like any good care package, it included
-Food (ranch packets, popcorn, pancake mix...)
-Candy (Jelly Beans, skittles, chocolate...)
-Useful things (A water bottle, hair conditioner...)
-Fun things! (A frisbee, sunny straws, a little manta ray that grows in water)
There was seriously SO much stuff. The best section though is the fun things, because some of the fun things were more weird than other. For instance, 1 thing I thought was a roll of toilet paper, but then I saw it came with crayons! It looks super convenient, and definitely fun, but also a little weird. Then there are the things that are REALLY weird. Like, the fishing bait or the one-use pee test to see if I'm drunk. I think that one will stay in my suitcase for a while until I think of a funny use for it. XP
This week was Zone Conference which happens about every 3 months. Since our Zones are so small now that we're split up by Stake, it was actually a Tri-Stake Conference *cue Dr. Doofenshmirtz impresson* So that we could meet, with the ENTIRE, TRI-STAKE AREA!
We got to hear messages from President Lam #IamPres.Lam'snummber 1fan #don'tlistentoSisterKessen #it'sme, Elder James his right hand man, the assistants to the President, some Zone Leaders, and my lovely companion Sister Kessen and her STL comp. Sister Cote!
All the talks were AMAZING! And really, I just needed a long soak in the spirit. I learned a lot, but really I think the biggest thing I got was just a nice long soak in the spirit. And I'm even more excited for General Conference! #32daysleft #I'vebeencountingdownfor3months
Last P-Day we went shopping at Kwai Fong which is .... an experience. It's called a mall but it's not like a mall in america. There are maybe 100 stores on a floor, and each store is like a storage unit decorated and stuffed with clothes. The units are really small, maybe 8 feet deep and 4 feet wide? I'm terrible at guesstimating but something like that. It kinda feels like shopping on the app "Wish" in person. Or finding one of those sites that sells clothes from China and half the comments are "5 stars beautful and cute" and half the comments are "0 stars. I got the wrong color, there was a stain on it, and it came after 8 months". That makes it sound terrible though, and really it is so much fun! Everything is so cheap which makes up for the fact that it's not the best quality. There are plenty of things that are modest, but finding things that are missionary modest and appropriate is a little bit harder. It's hit and miss just depending on the day. This week was an off day but I found two skirts and then bought a TON of gummies. They are super cheap and done by weight. I got a bag a little smaller than my head to last me till Christmas, and it only cost about $4 US. I got some of every flavor and so far have found chocolate filled marshmallows (SOOGOOD!) and methol/minty gummi bears (not so good. Whose idea was it? EPIC FAIL).
Today I might try some Durian. Hong Kongers LOVE them, but I can smell it 3 streets away, and I don't have a sense of smell. But it's about to go out of season and I can't really complain about it until I try it.
I love you all! Gaa yauh!
