Something Nostalgic:
This last saturday i hit my 1 year mark in Hong Kong. Everytime I think about how long i have been here, i have mixed emotions. In some ways i feel like i just got here and still don't know what i'm doing half the time...:) I feel like i am still learning how to be a good missionary and how to do the work more effectively. Other times I feel like i am chinese and am shocked when i see other white people walking by and think to myself, "what are they doing here?" Then i catch a glimpse of my arm and realize that i look just like them and that chinese people are thinking the same thing about me. don't they know that this is my home? don't they know that i am hong kong people?...:) that's something natives say here when they speak in english..."i am hong kong people!"...as opposed to chinese or anything else you mistake them for...:) i love this place and am so grateful i still have time left to enjoy it. about 3 months to be exact. 3 months. so much time! so much to do! i'm mostly excited to be training because i think my new companion will give me that extra boost to keep me going and really take advantage of the time i have left. thanks for all of your support and love and prayers. i need them. especially since i am losing my native companion next week and getting a greenie!!!!! wahoo! bring it on! cheers and love to you all!
