Hey Family!!!! How was all of your guys' week? We've had a lot of blessings this week. We've been able to find a couple new investigators this week that are GOLDEN! One of them, Tracy, who was refereed by her friend Olivia randomly on the street. We started teaching both of them this week and Olivia originally didn't have any interest, she just came with Tracy as a friend. But after the first lesson she totally has interest now. haha I love the Spirit. He really can change peoples harts if they let him in. The only thing is that Tracy lives in Tin Shui Wai which is really far away out of our area and zone. We'll have to turn her over to those sisters soon. But Olivia lives here in Tai Wai so we'll be able to hand her over to the sisters here. But they are both coming to church this Sunday!! =)
This other lady that we found last week, Ms Wong, is totally golden. She is from mainland so her Cantonese isn't really good so we turned her over to the mandarin elders. She's practically read the whole Book of Mormon already and seems to know more then we do about it =) haha She's really poor and she cuts hair on the streets just to earn a little money to help her family in mainland. So me and Elder Dastrup are going over to her "Shop" after emails to get our hair cut to help her out. Her shop consists of bamboo rods to hold her tarp roof up with a chair and a 5" by 8" mirror. There's places like this all over Hong Kong so it's normal but just sad that it's all that she has. But she's totally awesome and she's a really happy person.
We just started teaching another investigator last week, Emme. She is the older sister of a member in our ward, A-Jay, who is out on a mission right now. A-Jay's mom is also a member of about a couple years. Emme is pretty tough and it'll be harder to get though to her but we've had a couple really good lessons with her. We have a member that is actually A-Jay's girlfriend that is also really good friends with Emme help us out. Emme is willing to meet with us but she just doesn't seem willing to pray on her own. That's what we're working on right now with her. I can see her getting baptized though. She's just needs to be willing to really try.
That's pretty much it for our week. We're just getting ready for Bro Lam's baptism on the 30th of January and really excited about that and also Allen on the 13th of February. They are both big miracles!
I love my comp Elder Dastrup. He's really helping me and pushing me to be better and not get too truncky for home. haha He's really helping me a lot and I'm really grateful for him. I love how Heavenly Father sends certain people to you at certain times in your life to help you along.
I love you all so much!! I hope you all have a really good week. and ill talk to you soon.
Love, Elder McAllister
