This Week in Ma On Shan:

Hey everyone, sorry that i'm emailing earlier then i normally do. This week we had to have PDay on Wednesday instead of Thursday. We have Zone meetings this week end so they had to switch it. any way this week has been amazing! last thursday night me and elder wortham went finding around Ma On Shan so i could show him around. we tought so many lessons and we met a kid, Mike. he is awesome. he has had a lot of trials in his life and has had a very hard time, but he is the most humble guy i've met in hong kong. he is totally prepared for the gospel. he came to church on sunday and he said he really liked it and he felt better then before. i love the spirit! it can testify so strong to those that are willing to listen and feel.Addison wasn't abble to come because we was with his mom in the mainland for the weekend but he is still progressing so well. He is such a good kid. we went to eat with him a couple days ago so elder wortham could meet him.Elder Wortham is awesome! he has tought me so much in these last few days. He teaches the gospel so simply and clearly that everyone can understand it. i'm really working on teaching like that.The language is really fun! hong kong is awesome because if you don't know a word you can just say it in english. the people here know that most random words. they can't understand if you just speak in english but if you talk in chinese and add an english word here and there then they understand. it's really fun. i'm still not good at the language but i can see my improvement. my first day here i was so scared to open my mouth and talk but now it's so easy to just say hi to eveyone.so i'm sorry i havn't sent any pictures back. i'm really bad at that. i've been meaning to send my card to kristy but i haven't done it yet. i still need to develope some before i do but i promise that you'll get pictures soon.
i love you all so much and i hope you have an amazing week! the church is true! I'll email you all next week at the normal time.

Love,Elder McAllister
