Something Greenie:
My new companion - sister Hancock- arrived in Hong Kong yesterday!!! We met last night and after just a few minutes talking with her i knew the Lord knew what he was doing when he put us together. She loves the outdoors, exercising, yoga, camping, running, music, traveling and is just pretty much AMAZING!!!!!!!! She is from California and her mom is actually 4th generation american born chinese. Sister Hancock is a mixie. Her dad is American....obviously. She doesn't really look chinese, but when you know you can kind of see it...:) She is a lot like makenzie and laney...:) She studied at BYU before and also knows some mandarin. I'm so thrilled to be her trainer and know we are going to have a lot of fun together. yes! running in the morning again! after 2 moves with a native, i'm dying to get out and run more! wahoo! it's going to be crazy, but i'm so excited!
Something of a Blessing:
This last sunday we had four of our very dear friends get baptized! 2 were sisters, one of them being our investigator. Her family was less active for a long time and she never got baptized. Her little sister just turned 8, so they were baptize together. Such a miracle! Their family has been through a lot and to see them come together and have more of the spirit and blessings that come with baptism has been a privilege to witness. The elders had one of their investigators baptized and then we had another young girl baptized named Vivian. We are teaching her family right now, so hopefully her sister Polly and her mom will be baptized soon. Vivian is amazing and their whole family is so dear to us. Sister Kwok was especially sad to leave them, but she is moving on to another area (TST) that is amazing. I will miss her too! But it is time for me to stop being so lazy and stop relying on my native companion to do everything...:) Here we go! Greenie and me! I love you all and hope you are safe and well. Thanks for your love and support.
