This Week in Ma On Shan:

Hey everyone! This week has gone by so fast just like every other week! sorry that i'm emailing on friday rather then thursday. they moved our p day this week because of a mission tour yesterday. president pratt from the seventy came and talked to us. it was pretty cool!On Saturday we had a hiking activity for our investigators. we just hiked up to a park in the mountains and then played games and stuff. when we got back we asked mike if we could talk to him really quick. we shared a short message and then, not planned, gave him a baptism date. he said that he would!! I'm so excited! he's so humble and has accepted all invetations to do better and change his life for the better. we tought him the other day about the word of wisdom with the help of a member that we chose completely randomly. it ended up being perfect because she used to drink and mike said that every once in a while he drinks with his friends. she testified about the blessings from keeping the word of wisdom and mike said that he wouldn't drink anymore! =) he is so awesome!On sunday we had a asia area fireside. all the stakes in hong kong, taiwan, mongolia, india, indonesia, and a couple other places watched a brodcast firside with the asia area seventy Elder Watson, Elder Oaks, and President Uchtdorf. it was so awesome! it was like two general conferences in a row.so next thursday is moves and next wednesday they will announce moves calls. i'm not sure if i will be moving yet but i have a feeling that i am going to be. we'll see but you will all know by next thursday. i really hope that i can stay in ma on shan but if the Lord needs me in other places then that's what is best. I've been in ma on shan for almost 3 transfers. time goes so fast!! i wish it would slow down! take advantage of every minute! before you know it your looking back and you will want it to be a good view. there's some inspiring words from Elder McAllister =) I'm thinking of making my own fortune cookies =) haha ok i'm done. well i love you all! i hope you all have a wonderful week. until we meet again... =)

Love Elder McAllister
