So another great week in Tuen Mun down. Nothing out of the ordinary that happened this week other than last night we walked in the door right at exactly 10 again, so you could say we sometimes loose track of time when we have later lessons, but we didn't need call the president so that was nice. I totally did share the 1st vision on the street for the first time, but the guy was just being nice and let us talk to him. The second we brought up the Book of Mormon he decided to "go home" which happens alot here in Hong Kong partly because the church screwed up the tranlations back in the day. they have since changed the name to better fit the English, but the damage has already been done haha. It's always nice when people actually listen to us explaining the translation errors haha.
We do have 1 super good investigator though. Her name is Mrs. Tsang she is super super good. She reads like everyday and always calls us to talk about what she has learned and she was like "I know I need to stop smoking in order to be baptized" before we mentioned the Word of Wisdom. So that's really the only struggle with her, but got some resources from the Assistants which should be able to help, so we are super excited for that.
Now to talk about the title of this email. Here in Hong Kong we call people feeding us "Cheng Outs", and we had 3 this week and one right after I finish emailing. So anyways next week is the Mid Autumn Festival so we are getting fed by members quite a bit this week. on Wednesday our Bishop (Bishop Wong) took us out to eat at a pretty nice restaurant with him and his wife, and it was super cool getting to get to know him better, and it was such a good meal!! Then Saturday we visited the 2nd Councelor in the Bishopric and got to know him a little better, and last night we visited the Elders Quorum President's (Future bishop) home and had more food, so this week was a lot of fun, but I'm most excited for the meal I'm gonna eat when I finishing emailing. A member that I have never met, but is loaded rich is taking all the Elders that work in Tuen Mun (so also Butterfly and Castle Peak Bay Wards) and also the HSK Elders to one of the most expensive restaurants in Hong Kong over in Tsim Sha Tsui!! he's taking us because last week was Elder Ledingham's birthday, so I'm super excited about that. It's an all you can eat very nicce Japanese buffet!
I guess the only thing that happened this last week was on Thursday it was Elder Ledingham's birthday, and the entire apartment pretended to forget (even his companion) and he even told people that we all forgot, but we bought a cake and some other yummy food and suprised him when he got out of the shower so it was a fun night.
Love you all and thanks for the love and support!
