stuff on p day if i need. The 5th of December would be the exact year and a
half date for me in hong kong so we will see what happens. I really just don't

I GOT TO GO VISIT KWUN TONG! (my first area)
I have never been more excited to go anywhere. It is the
miracle place. It is heaven. I got off the mini bus and almost kissed the
ground. I love Kwun Tong! Then we went to eat some congee and i met a lovely
deaf woman and so we talked and i got her number and we may meet with her this
next week. So good! I love sign language. We also gave our deaf investigator
sister Yeuhng a baptismal date. She is a very slow learner but she is
progressing and said she would be baptized in august. WOW. But back to Kwun
Tong. I love it.
This week was full of crazy things too. I just know that the
times we go finding are the times the interesting people come out to find us
instead. I think we met a witch. She was very nice at first and then her voice
started getting higher and higher and then she just started laughing and it was
really scary. so we got out of there only to have an older man run up to us and
start speaking english. He goes in to give my companion a hug and she backed
away and then he tried to hold my hand...so we got out of there too. Finally we
looked around and we thought we were safe...then another lady came to sit by us
and she looked me in the eyes and said "i want your eyes" then i just
saw her 3 long skinny fingers with looooong yellow nails coming toward my eyes!
So i ducked my head and said no no no. And then she just started going off on
how she wants to pick my eyes out, put them in milk.. (not a lot of milk, only
a little) and then throw them on the ground and make a girl out of them. That
was the theme of this week.
We were able to find 2 new amazing people this week but then
they didn't show up to the lesson and stopped answering their phones. It has
been rough lately with very little investigators.
But we did also have miracles. I feel like people just
stopping to talk to you or smile at you is a miracle. Anyone who will give you
their number or an email is a miracle. Someone who will listen to your
testimony is a miracle. This week we had a pretty special miracle happen. We
were walking to our bus after a long day of finding when this lady working at a
restaurant waved at us. She asked if we remembered her and we said yes because
that is what you say. Then she was just so happy that we stopped. She said that
she had seen us many times walking to the bus but we never saw her. Well she
was working so we decided that we would maybe see her the next day and figure
out who she was on the bus. Then right before we got onto the bus, my companion
and i looked at each other and said "we have to go back and eat
there". so we followed a prompting and when we showed up she was so
excited that she started to hug us! and chinese people do not hug other people.
She was so happy and she took us by the hands and led us into the restaurant.
She told everyone that we were her friends and se was so happy. Then we ate
some Kung Pao Chicken and talked to her and realized that we had met her a
couple weeks earlier on the promenade. We had called her a couple times but she
didn't have any interest. But i know that we helped her that day. It was a cool
experience with following the spirit.
Well ill leave it at that because we will be talking in a
couple days. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MOM! i love you so much :) love you all. I hope
you have a good week. talk to you sunday morning
this is KWUN TONG and the yummy fresh meat markets....and me
so excited to be in Kwun Tong
