Week 31 - Thanksgiving

Well let's start off the week from the very second I ended emailing last week. We went to Sham Shui Po where we were able to find the coveted Manchester United jerseys on the street. They were buried in the back in a bag because you know they were fake and had the Adidas logo on the bag, but they look 100% real and we got them for like 7% of the real price in a store!! 

Zone Thanksgiving Dinner

Nothing really happened out of the ordinary on Tuesday and Wednesday. We had district meeting and taught a couple of lessons, then of course Thursday was Thanksgiving!! It was so much fun, and I'm gonna be honest the turkey was super super good, and all the other traditional foods made for Thanksgiving had to be made from scratch and having some replacement ingredients such as pumpkin squash for pumpkin pie, and making a crust from scratch and baking a pumpkin in a toaster oven. A lot of people had to be very creative with some of the foods, and  we were the ones who made mashed potatoes, like 20 pounds of it!! It was a lot! We had some rap battles (about missionary work of course) listened to Elder Chen's recording of himself sleep talking and going on a rant on how district leaders are better than zone leaders haha and some other stuff. and the highlight was a zone wide Ping Pong tournament where me and Elder Jensen lost 7-0 in the finals to TSW, and I still blame Elder Jensen for the loss, but yea it was a lot of fun.

On Saturday we were able to visit our buddy Shawn and teach him and his kids. He seemed really interested in the Book of Mormon, so we are hoping we can continue to teach him and his whole family. After his lesson we went to our our stake's youth talent show, and it was probably the most fun I've had on my mission outside of Thanksgiving. They had some people sing, but they also did some skits. All the missionaries were all in the back corner and starting chants, waving our arms, and just laughing like crazy (most of the skits were hilarious we aren't that immature) one of the skits they did a Cinderella Parody but with a Mormon twist. Instead of a shoe it was a Book of Mormon that converted the guy, and while he's on his mission he is searching for the girl. and all the missionaries in the back are all yelling no thats MH DAK!!! (not ok) haha everyone turned and looked at us at that part of the skit. and your ward youth totally formed a band and killed it on stages. You could say this week was a a lot of fun!!

Also for some weird reason sister Tsang decided to enter the HK famous mental hospital. We weren't really sure why, so we went to visith her. She does have some mental problems, but not that bad, so we wanted to figure out why and shared a message. Also since smoking isn't allowed in the hospital, she's stopped!?

So yeah those were the highlights of my week, and today I finally get to pick up my new suit, super excited!!

Love you all!!
