baahk gam gaau jaahp

Every time I try to describe how I feel these last couple days I just come back to a Chinese saying -- baahk gam gaau jaahp. 100 feelings wrapped in one. It's pretty accurate. I wish that I would have some sort of 80's music montage of my mission. It's weird, because every period of life has funny memories, and new friends, and trials, but a mission is special because it has a definite starting date, a definite ending date, and you know when both are before they even happen.

So yeah, I'm sad to leave Hong Kong, and Cantonese , and amazing street food, and the amazing people I've met. I'm sad that I have to take off this name tag.

But I'm so excited to go home. To watch Disney movies with my family, and eat pizza, and cheese, casseroles. And to be able to swim, and sleep in to 7:30, and to stay up past 11, to talk with my family all day every day, and to be able to give twice as many hugs as I give now, and to be able to Google any random questions I have, and to be able to go back to school, and talk with my family as much as I want. 

Honestly, I'm excited for the challenge. One of the MANY things I have learned is that challenges are how God blesses us to help him come closer to him. We can come close any time really, but challenges just make it so much easier. I think that's the thing that I'm most excited about. In the process of figuring out how the new me fits in the old world, if I let it happen, I'll get even stronger. And more faithful, humble, loving, patient, and even just cooler. 

So on Friday, my heart will be firmly planted in St. George Utah, but until then, I'm just gonna live it up in Hong Kong, and try to learn all I can in the few days I have left.

 

I got to see Siu Pohpo again!! She had a Doctors appointment in my area, so we met in the subway station for about 5 minutes.Totally worth it.

 

 

I discovered cooked cheap sushi! And I am actually starting to be okay with seaweed!! #WonderofWonderMiracleofMiracles

 

 

Had a lesson a retired Opera singer! She taught me that Foreign singers sing with their mouth at the back of the head, Chinese singers sing with the mouth at the forehead. Who knew? She is so sweet, I love her.

See you all soon!! Hold down the fort for me a couple more days, 'kay?
