wow what another great week in Hong Kong last Monday we went to Cheung Chau one of the islands off the coast of Hong Kong, and we had alot of fun out there. We found some pirate caves that we had to climb down to, and they were pitch black and pretty scary. The only light we had were the ones on our small little cell phones and some places got pretty narrow, but we went from one side to the other. While we were in that cave one of our investigators Harold who tagged along started yelling Elders we gotta go there is a typhoon coming!!!! So we were still on the island when the storm hit, and the boat ride home was a little bumpy, but we got home alive, and the streets were just crowded with people trying to get home. I heard the MTR was packed and you would have to wait like 5 trains just to get on. So we just got on a bus.
I was with Elder Rodriguez most of this week because you know zone leader stuff, and I can say it was probably the most stressful week of my mission because we had to cover 2 areas and we taught a total of like 9 lessons this week, and there was not a single comp study or weekly planning to plan for those lessons, so we had to make up a lot of stuff right on the spot, but was a really good week I really felt everything we taught helped all those investigators.
It has also been raining 24/7 for the last week, and that hasn't helped us all out at all. All 4 of us caught some bug and have been sick for the last 4-5 days, yeah its been pretty stressful, but is also a big learning chance for me and my future in the mission. Last Thursday was the start of the cutting down of missionaries in the mission like 20ish missionaries went home and only like 5 came in, and at the end of this transfer, its upward of 50 going home. So there are now several wards in the mission that no longer have missionaries in their ward. They have missionaries that cover it, but they are supposed to focus on their "real ward". So if I could give anyone advice it would work the missionaries or your ward could just lose them!
Saturday there was also a super fun primary activity. The missionaries were assigned a family to provide food, and we had a little competition on who could cook better. My group made sushi, and the other Elders made tacos. yeah tacos won but our food was more creative.
Yeah pretty fun week. love ya all and talk to ya all next week!
