Wow!!!
Congratulations Abbey girl!!!! you look beautiful! how fun! And how grown up jack and danny look! And dad looks great! He's always pulled the tux look off really well. I feel like I let the family down haha...every one else was part of the homecoming celebration! But you guys look great :)
And that sounds like a dream job that tommy got. What an awesome opportunity. He's going to be so good!
I hope they have a good trip up to Canada. Nana and Gump are amazing, and I hope she feels better soon. Put them to work nana and gump!
It's been a good week here, but I'm terrified I might get transferred...which would make me sad. I love kwun tong....Loooovvveeee Kwun Tong. I could finish my mission here and be just fine with it. But we got a new companion from Macau this last week, so we're in a tripanionship right now, which means one of us is jauhing on thursday. And I've been here the longest....and the sister from macau has only been out for 2 months, .....so, I'm guessing they'll put the native with her here in Kwun Tong. But that's ok. We'll see what happens! I'll let you know next week!
So you know how we've been making a special effort to talk to potential priesthood holders (specifically about the book of mormon haha)....it's working! We've found several new investigators that we've passed over to the elders. One of them happened while we sat down at this bench under a tree. We had met a woman the day before and arranged to meet her there the next day to explain more about the Book of Mormon...she fonged us. stood us up. But right as we sat down, I had the thought, "This is prime bird poop zone." Literally 2 seconds later, a bird pooped on Lam jimuih's arm. I started laughing at her, and then...splat. Got me on the leg. We sat up and started laughing and wiping it off, and I noticed this man across from us watched the entire thing, so I started talking to him about bird poop...i know, not the smoothest introduction.... but we ended up talking to him for a while and he ended up accepting a baptism invitation. So that was cool! First time a successfully gave out a baptismal invite on the street haha. But he's cool. His name's Jimmy. We passed him over to the Elders too, so we're keeping them busy! But now we need to build up our own teaching pool, so it's back to the strollers. And teenage girls with their phones....those are the most difficult because they usually just want to take pictures with us, which is fine if they'll listen to us, but I'm guessing we're on a lot of stranger's facebook pages. And every other sentence is about america. or taylor swift. or our elders. Hard to keep them on track haha. But we'll keep trying. Sometimes things will stick.
And Wendy. I need to get a picture of her for you. We knocked on her door again to read scriptures. She yelled something back that I couldn't understand. I can never understand what she yells back. But she answers with this wet rag draped over her head haha. I cant get the image out of my mind, but I'm sad I dont have enough time to adequately describe it. Just this wet pink rag or scarf hanging off her head in all directions. She was cutting her hair, and dying it, and I'm not sure if it was part of the process or she just didn't want us to see it. But we read scriptures with it dripping on our laps haha. Darn, I'm out of time. But I'll explain it more next week. It was just so funny. Best mental image of my mission haha.
Alright, I love you guys. congrats to Tommy and Abbey and everybody else! I'll keep Nana and Gump in my prayers. I love them. They're amazing. Say hi to them for me!
Love hannah
