Man, lots of time has passed and it's already another time for another email! :) Hopefully all of your weeks and conferences were amazing, as they always are, I know for sure mine was. :) The times here are awesome, and I can hardly even remember what happened because it all happened so fast (and I left my planner at home).
So the night of P-Day we got to go to a barbecue with the youth, and took Alex along. He seemed to really build relationships and have friends here, which I'm excited for because he needs those. Everyone does right? and so I've decided that Chinese barbecue is WAY good, (I think) better than American BBQ. We ate sardines, (heads and all) cheese tofu mix, fish balls, cheese fish, and a whole bunch of vegetables. We also ate potato chips with chocolate on them. ^.^
The next few days were district meeting and I was basically with Elder Love the whole time. We were together basically all week this week because there are changes being made in the mission so the zone leaders have to do all that stuff. We've been teaching a lot of people lately which was super awesome, and I'm loving every minute of teaching. We taught Leih hing daaih or Brother Lee who cannot read, and cannot comprehend very well. He's the sweetest man, he's got an earnest want to learn about Jesus Christ and what He's done for him. He has pictures of Jesus Christ in his room and when asked to draw what he was grateful for he attempted to imitate the painting. He's such a nice man but he's having a hard time learning to pray, and learning the commandments. I'm very positive when he learns he will follow Christ's example.
As for Ma On Shan, we have JR who decided he doesn't want to get baptized (which I'm sure will change because of the faith he has) but would like to still meet with us.
We have Norton who came to the last session of conference, and said that it was pretty good. He met with the bishop to ask about some tithing questions he had, and afterward when we met with him he asked, "Should I bring my swim trunks?" So yeah. He'll be baptized on the 24th :D He's an amazing man, and we've realized his interesting gong faat (way of talking) really just comes from his inability to practice English with native English speakers (We're the only ones he knows :P) and the way he talks has gotten way better :D
That's it I think, other than we got to listen to the Beatles at a loud volume because there's one bus that blasts it (Siu ba) so we got to hear them for quite a bit :D
That's all folks! :)
