Jack...that is a winner. (Sent funny pic of Jack) Hands down the most attractive face I have ever seen :) And I love Camilla. Someday I'll join her in her adventures. If she'll have me. (Fun photo of Camilla on her hiking adventure with Abbey). Congrats to Uncle Mark! How fun! Party hard family. That's so awesome so many people will be there. And mom, you're a natural mathematician. You're going to love that class. And raspberries! Please save me bowl! freeze me an entire bowl for next year!...and it will actually probably be more like November, based on how I think transfers will go...I'm not sure. not that I've counted. (I've had a few weak nights haha).

No things here are great. We had a busy week. We had to travel down to wan chai 4 times this week, all for very worthwhile reasons. We had zone conference, and then we were invited to the saturday night session of stake conference, and then sunday stake conference, and then today we got to meet with some general authorities. And on every one of those trips up here (except for sunday), I ate at the famous Paisano's Pizza!...it's a tradition for me. Every time I come up to wan chai I eat pizza. The guy running it and I are becoming pals. Now he throws in a free soda every now and then :) He's from India, so once I get my hands on a non chinese Book of Mormon, I'll throw one of those in with my 30 bucks ;)

But I should talk about the meetings. We were so blessed to hear from Elder Raspband, the senior president of the 70. He and his wife are incredible. Today at our missionary conference, we also had our area presidency, Elder Gong, Elder Funk and Elder Wong.  http://www.mormonnewsroom.hk/eng/leadership-and-organization
Elder Wong is a newly called general authority. I'm not sure what I've written home yet about him, but I really like him. He is the one who visited in the MTC. And then at our mission tour a few weeks ago, he was the speaker who had me come up and help him with an object lesson where different missionaries held different sizes of cups over their heads, and then I had to pour water into the cups while having my eyes covered. (my waitressing abilities were a little rusty, and some people got pretty wet). But he always say hi now when I see him and calls me lousi dung (teacher dudley) ha. He's an amazing man. He's actually speaking at General Conference. 1st speaker on saturday morning. Pay close attention to his talk....I'm really looking forward to it. It's going to make history ;) We also had Elder Allen, the missionary organization president guy. I'm sorry, I forgot his title. It was really such a neat weekend.

But your night sounds so amazing! I miss those outside dinners. The weather here has yet to cool down...but I'm really looking forward to when it does. Then I can wear my sweaters. I'm getting bored of my clothes, so those sweaters will be a fun mix up :)

Because of the meeting today, We need to cut down on our email time, so I need to get going, but I love you all. It was cool to see a lot of the things I've been studying and thinking about were talked about in the meetings I went to this weekend, and I found so many different answers to questions I had. Heavenly Father knows our needs, and gives us opportunities to learn through the spirit. That's what I learned this week. And lots of other stuff, but I'll write more next week!
Hachi gin!
