This Week In Ma On Shan,

Wow this week has been amazing! Our investigator, Addison, is really progressing. We want to eat with a member last nigh with Addison and the Sisters. The Sisters gave the lesson on miracles. They went around the table and asked everyone what miracles they want in this life. When they got to Addison he said that he wants to become a real gentlemen and that he also wants to share the Fuk Yum (pronounced like Foke Yum, in Cantonese that means Gospel)!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha He basically just said he wants to be a missionary!!!!! haha he is awesome!!!! He's 17 so if he decided to go he totally could. He's getting baptised on October 3rd! I'm so excited!!!

On Monday we had moves calls (where we find out if we will leave our area and if we get new companions and so on). Elder Dixon moved to the Island and is going to do international work (an English speaking zone that works with everyone other than Chinese people. White people, Philippians, Indonesians.....) So my new comp is Elder Wortham. Today was moves day so I just picked up my new comp today. He's really cool. He is from Kansas. I'm really looking forward to this next move. We will see a lot of miracles.

Oh and something pretty funny. So the last Sunday in every moves we have a fireside called , "Why I Believe," that anyone came come to, and the dying missionaries (missionaries going home) share their testimonies. It's a really big thing in Hong Kong because it's such a small mission. Everyone knows everyone and it's seriously just the best mission in the world. Anyway a sister in our zone called the Assistants to the Presidents and put my name in to sing at the next Why I Believe fireside!!!!! I DON'T SING!!!! haha She called me the other day and told me she did it. haha I told her I would but I hope I don't ruin the song for everyone. haha SO in six weeks I'm singing "I Heard Him Come" with Elder Posey (my zone leader) and two sisters. It'll be very interesting. haha

Well, I love you all and hope you have an amazing week!!! =)

Love, Elder McAllister
