Just about the bestest thing happened this week. I was talking with another member at a stake relief society activity when I heard someone behind me shout "Ha Ji Muih!!!" I turned around to see a most happy, glowing, and beautiful Sister ___ from Kwai Fong my first area. When Sister Kartchner and I were there we helped her come back to the gospel and become reactivated. You wouldn't even believe what the gospel has done for her. She is like a new person now. I was so happy I almost cried. She gave me a big squeezy hug and sat by me and we talked. Really she was just glowing with light I was so surprised I forgot how to speak chinese! haha...later that night looking back on it, I truly felt the happiness that the prophets and apostles talk about achieving when laboring among Heavenly Father's children. It very real and at that moment, everything was again..all worth it:))
____ is doing pretty well. We taught her forgiveness this week and have been assigning her to do little acts of service like sitting by a member who had just had surgery this week at church. She calls me gungjai, which is like a little doll or something haha.
_____is super golden awesome. We are going to give her a baptismal date this week. She asks great questions and has expressed to us that she is already beginning to truly feel God's reality and existence in her life.
We are teaching a less active sister named Sister _____. she is just about the cutest little grandma ever and when she hugs me she just nestles her head right under mine. She is so tiny!! She brought a friend to church this Sunday as well. We have a lot of little grandmas that we teach who absolutely know they need to come to church.
You all look great and I'm so glad you got to see little Penny Lane's baby blessing. I love the pictures, but you're all changing too quickly!! Just wait 'til I get home pleasssse!!
P.S. I'm just really nervous for moves calls. Please Please Please pray for me. everything is okay as long as we have the gospel. right? My favorite scripture this week Alma 37:44-46 Bom is da bomb.
PPS Phiphs you are gonna be the queeen of Skyline!! Don't worry about the bagged rats they only give those out on Tuesdays. Just be your awesome self and be an example of Christ.
PPPS George: As Thumper says " If you can't date girls that are not emotional messes, don't date at all.:)"
PPPPS Aria and Penny, I love the cute little scrapbook pictures you sent! Thank you so much for keeping in touch and letting me be a part of your lives all the way across the world.
See yall in four

Monkey Mountain. Well, at least she is taller than the monkeys. |
This week has been a nice break with lots of meetings and companion exchanges.
President Gong, area president of the Asian missions came and spoke to us for mission conference and mission tour. so basically mission tour is just when they have cool leaders like that come speak. big news is that by next April Hong Kong is going to add two more stakes. There are four at the moment. Way cool!! It was fun to be with other missionaries.Monday, August 3, 2015
Ying Ying my Siu pahngyauh, Tiff comes to town!, Jazzy Hymns
Hello Bahba, Mahma, gaje, mui muih, sailou!
This week was pretty good. We had a lot of great things this week. We also had a bit of unfortunate news so we'll just get that out of the way now. We think ___ got Antied :( She just keep hanging up on our phone calls and we haven't seen her the whole week. So Yeah I was pretty bummed about that. To say the least. But to make up for it, we had a better week as a companionship.
Siu pahngyauh means child in chinese, but the direct translation is little friend. And that she was! Ying ying was a little girl that sat behind me on the bus one day. She was the most adorable thing ever!!! Right when I said hi to her she just went off like a rocket asking me questions and telling me about where they are going what they are doing, her family, her friends..you name it. haha we were insta best friends. I thought only phiphs could make friends with somebody that quickly. I will never forget little yingying she made me soo happy! too bad her parents didn't leave their number or anything. its okay. I'll find her again!
T., my member from Sha Tin has been living in our apartment this week and it has been so fun to be with her. She is doing the missionary program where they act as full time missionaries for two weeks. She will be here this week as well. She is my best buddy/chinese twin! We also have another summer missionary with us so that makes six people in the tiniest apartment ever. Needless to say, I get kind of claustrophobic at times!!
This email is from my trainer. She is the best. A sweet letter from Tessa's trainer followed. We are so grateful she was sister Ha's trainer.
