HELLO FUHMOUH!
Ok the doctor called and said I'm dying....JUST kidding :) it is all fine. No noticeable change and so i don't have to go back. woohoo! no more chinese doctors for me. Also i got the package with the book! guess what....i found out that it is all in mandarin and i have to translate it all to cantonese! haha cool right!? haha. Oh and i got an email from BYU and guess what? I MADE IT IN AGAIN! haha phew now i don't have to worry about that anymore. Nut do you know when i have to worry about signing up for classes? and can you tell me what you think i should take? Ai Ya.
This week was a good one. We found out that we were going to be having summer missionaries! That means that 16-19 year old girls and boys from Hong Kong come to be with the missionaries for two weeks. It is stressful but i guess a good experience. We just go ours. Mine is from the new territories. She is a 17 year old convert and she is tall haha. We will be companions for the next 2 weeks. Good luck! Because i don't know the area very well. So i hope we can figure things out.
Ill send you a picture of us together! I just hope that i can help her out and really see miracles with her so that she will want to be a missionary too :)
So guess what!? SISTER YEUHNG came back! we had lost her for 2 weeks but now she is back. She is willing to keep all the commandments but one she has a problem with..it is no other gods. We were teaching her and she said she wanted to be baptized, but then she said that her heart was split. We asked why and after rome questions and inspiration She said that she believes in 2 gods. One is Heavenly Father. The other one is a terrocota soldier god (well that is the way she described it to us). She told us that when she was 8 her prophetess grandmother and her lived in china ( i guess they believe that there are some major important spiritual people in mainland china). Her grandmother had a dream that said she needed to go to a certain place at a certain time and then a god would appear. So she and her grandmother packed up and went to the place. Then the god appeared and now she still remembers that moment. I don't exactly know what to tell her about this vision she had but i hope the Spirit will help us out. I know He will. Now we just need to help her know that we only have one god that we worship and that is Heavenly Father. We talked to president Hawks and he just told us that all we could teach her was truth :) so we will just teach her what our chinese will allow and expect a miracle! I didn't know how tough it was to teach about our Heavenly Father, Anyway, pray for sister Yeuhng!
We also had a ward activity this week called Poon CHoi. It is where yo get a huge bowl. Then you get 15 people at a table, fill the bowl up with shrimp, bean curd, intestines, fat, fish balls, tofu, and other unmentionables and then you put some water in it and boil it up! Well we went and there were a TON of people there :) we were able to walk away with 4 referrals!!!!!!!!! so cool :) we will be meeting with them this week. The Poon Choi on the other hand was pretty weird. I mean i really like the food here now but i couldn't really finish my bowl of rice and poon choi. You should try and make some!
We also had a ping pong night! I know that people say that it is a stereo type to think of chinese people playing ping pong...but it is not! It was so intense haha. I want to learn to be a ping pong master! We will also be playing more this week with some referrals from our members!
It is great to hear from you all and all that is happening in Eagar. President Hawks still never fails to tell the world that we are both Eagar Beavers haha. I had to tell him that they changed that like 50 years ago! Anyway i love president Hawks and sister Hawks! they are amazing. They just make the world a happy place.
So i was reading in 3rd Nephi this past week in chapter 18. You should read it and really think about the sacrament. Think about what church has done in your life and how it has changed you. I know that church is so important! And still it is one of the hardest commitment sfor investigators to commit to. Ill invite you all to keep inviting people to church! I love you all so much and pray for you daily. You are amazing. Keep loving the Lord and serve Him with all your heart might mind and strength.
我們在本次大會中看到一些忠信的弟兄被卸任，
I don't really know what this quote says because i don't read chinese but you can google translate it and find out! I get to start learning characters next month..so i don't know if i will learn of not haha but gayauh!
Oh my goodness! I didn't tell you the scariest part!
Ok so i have told you about the spiders here right?
Well they are HUUUUGGGGEEEE! We were in the church the other day and we saw a spider the size of my head. Not kidding. And so we were so scared. It didn't just run across the room but it LEAPED! iT was huge. So we were so scared and the elders came and they had to squish it....I wet my pants it was so scary haha. Then we found another one even bigger! But this time it was in a tree right in front of the church. And it was hanging above our heads. We had to knock it down so that we could get through. Well i took a picture of this one. You would not believe the spiders here! ai ya. Then also i found a dragon...a real one. It a caterpillar form. Ill send you the pictures :)
LOVE YOU ALL!
