Week 29 - We are Christians

Hey everyone coming to you from Hong Kong, or I guess Tin Shui Wai Library! Well anyways this week was a lot of fun. The weather has finally cooled down! On Thursday it was a good 66 degrees F and all the missionaries were wearing sweaters under their suits, and big jackets and I was like " I would go outside in just short sleeves if it wasn't againest the rules." but of course 2 days later it was in the mid 80's again, so ehhhh thats ok. but anyways on Tuesday we met up with 2 college students who are doing a research project on the church for their sociology project, and we taught pretty everything we believe in 2 lessons, roughly 1.5 hours each (we met with them 2 weeks ago during P day ugh) they even went into myths and assumptions about the church that they found on the internet. At the end of our meeting they said they had to think of a new thesis or something like that because we aren't the cult that they thought we were along with the rest of Hong Kong! They didn't have much interest, but now they actually respect us as Christian religion!



Dinner at Bishop's home

I guess the only significant event that took place this week was we went all the way to Sha Tin to visit a member in the hospital. Don't worry we got permission, so we traveled about a hour each way to visit him. We got the times mixed up for visiting hours and we showed up 2 minutes after, but the receptionist was nice enough to give us about 8 minutes to talk and leave a small message. He was super happy to see us, and it made the trip worth it because he has gained even more trust in the missionaries. So the trip was worth it.

We did get to visit some members as well. Our super cool Bishop made us the dumplings with soup on the inside, which is suuuuper good, and we also made a cheese cake to share!! And I love me some cheese cake!! Bishop Wong also has a huge collection of airsoft guns and he just had to show them off to us! We also visited the Lau family and they are also super cool, so this week was super great! We are also getting ready to invite one of our investigators to have a baptismal date for January so the work is moving forward in Tuen Mun!

Love you all,

Elder Eveson

Don't worry they're air soft guns
