Hey all!
First off shout out to all those who watched the devotional yesterday! It was really good and all the missionaries did a musical number together. I shared it on my Facebook if yall wanna check it out :)
But Elder Cheang joined me and Elder Chen this past week! And now it's talking Chinese non stop all day haha. I had the WORST headache the first couple days my head was hurting from all the thinking I've been doing haha. Up until this point it's been mostly english all day (with lessons, talking to people on the streets, companions, etc.). But now unless we're teaching an english lesson, we're speaking in chinese. Big eye opener that my chinese still needs sooooo much work, plus I need to learn Chinese culture haha. But it's been nice to practice more, plus I'm slowly gaining a hybrid Macao/Taiwan chinese accent haha
But it's been a lot more fun serving with them than I thought! Elder Cheang is so fun. He has a twin brother like me, and hes also a convert! He got baptized when he was like 14, but he's the only person in his family who is a member. He also teaches his family the Gospel on P-days over videochat so he's literally a legend. He eats a ton of chinese food, hes made fried rice at least once everyday since he got here. Also, on his first day here he cut his own hair. He offered to cut my hair as well, but I think I'm gonna wait until the barbershops are open again cause he basically gave himself a bowl cut haha
Also still sooo excited for Wangyue to be baptized, shes amazing! Everytime we meet with her, she reminds me of a quote by President Hunter, “A great indicator of one’s personal conversion is the desire to share the gospel with others”. I believe I've already mentioned this before, but she said she wants to invite at least 10 of her non-member friends to her baptism. And this past week as we were teaching the Law of Tithing, she mentioned that she wants her parents to be baptized into the church as well! She plans on going back to China for the summer, and I have a feeling that before she returns to Manchester, both her parents will be baptized haha. But it's been so faith building to see her continuing conversion to the Lord. Church is true!
