General Conference

As always, General Conference was an amazing-fantastic-blow-your-socks-off ball of happiness. Raise your hand if you're surprised.

Seriously though, we are so blessed to be living in these latter days with the fullness of the Gospel. I loved every single talk, and I can't wait for next month when we get the Liahona with all of the talks! I loved especially the themes of (1) the Plan of Salvation (2) Repentance (3) Joy and (4) how each talk broke things down into little baby steps.

The Plan of Salvation takes on a deeper meaning for me this week, as I found out half an hour ago that my Grandma Renie died this last week. It was really surprising for me, and I'll honestly treat myself to ice cream and a good cry tonight. But at the same time.....I'm not worried. I am going to miss her so much, but I know that I will see her again. She has another chance (in fact, a lot of them) to accept the gospel in the Spirit World and choose Joy, real Joy. I'm gonna see her again one day. I know I will. I will finally hear her original voice -- my goodness did that woman have a smoker's voice-- and give her a bear hug, and hear her tell her favorite stories and maybe watch her do some floral arrangements in her spirit world florist shop. Maybe not the last one, but the important ones are the first three anyway. Isn't the gospel amazing? I'm so blessed that every day I get to share this message of hope and joy with everyone I can in Hong Kong.

*insert transition to normal things here*

Last P-Day we went to Sham Shui Po and did some shopping. I got to try cheese flavored ice cream, which was actually very good! It kinda tastes like the cheese you put in lasagna. The shops were all so tiny and cute! I bought a ton of stationary stuff, and got to look at some cool touristy things. Definitely shopping there again the month before I go back home.

Yesterday our entire ward and ton of investigators and less actives and other family and friends got on 2 big buses and drove all the way down to the island to have fun! We went to a big "day camp" facility. They just had a ton of different things to do and set us loose to have fun. Roller skating, bicycling, swimming, billiards, tennis, ping pong, a ropes course, archery, soccer, basketball, and about 10 other ones. It was funny because I would choose which one I wanted to do, and then would realize that missionaries can't do that one. But I finally learned how to play ping-pong! More than anything, it was just fun to be able to relax and have fun with all my friends

I got a package from my parents!! More on that next week though, cause I ran out of time.

Also, next week I promise I'll have pictures, but I'm emailing from the library which has a tendency to give missionaries viruses. Who would have thought the Mac Store would be safer than the library?
