This Week in Ma On Shan:
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! =) I hope you all had a good thanksgiving. Today the entire mission went to do service at this Poh Pohs farm. it was so awesome. we totally cleaned everything up and plowed and fixed fences and alot of stuff like that. it was way fun. then we all went to Homintine to have a Thanksgiving lunch. they actually had real mashed patatos, real turcky (with no bones in it), real stuffing, real cranberry souce, and almost real pumpkin pie. you could tast the Hong Kong milk in it but it was still way good pumpkin pie! by the way none of these things really exist in hong kong so it was really awesome! =) After we played Rugby. They don't really do Football here, more Rugby. it's way fun but i such. hahaThis week has been really fun and good. on saturday we baked cookies with one of our younger investigators, Jessica, that we got from the sisters. she is a little shy espically around us but cookies deffinitly helped break the ice. we watched Testiments with her and gave her a short message. we made rice krispies with her yesterday too and that was really good. she is really awesome and i think we're going to ask her to be baptised next time we see her.We also have a new investigator named Siu Lo. she is from the mainland so her cantanese is ... ok ... haha it's really good but it has a major mandarin accent to it. any way she is really cool and golden. she understands everything we teach her and is progressing perfectly.We haven't been able to get ahold of mike lately. we keep praying for him and call him everyday but there's not much we can do. He is an amazing person and i know that he has felt the spirit. I know that he will eventually come back.Yesterday we went to the University Train Station and did a district find (our district is us and the Zone Leaders). it was way cool. i gave out three book of mormons. i've never given out that many at once. it was way cool.One thing that i'm really learning lately is to have a member present to every lesson. they help the atmosphere seem so much more calm and when they testify it really hits the investigator. I know i said this last week but seriously, if you have the opportunity to share your testimony, DO IT!! That is why we are here. Rember the story of the Talents It's not just about haveing a talent like singing, playing the piano, dancing and such. It is everything that God gives us, Everything. If we do not share our testimony with others then our testimony will not grow in us and will not grow in others. I really need to work on this too. Sometimes i find my self in a situation where i can share my testimony or teach but it's outside my comfort zone and i don't do it. This is something we all have to develop and learn. haha sorry i'm not meaning to be a peter priesthood. i just love you all and i know that you all have an amazing testimony because i've heard most of yours. just don't keep it hidden.I love you all sooo much! I miss you all too! always remember who you are! =) peace be unto thee
Love Elder McAllister
PS Happy Thanksgiving! =)

This Week in Ma On Shan:
Hey Family! It seriously feels like i was just emailing you guys yesterday. this weeks gone by so fast. we've had a pretty busy week so it's been really good. an interesting story on friday, we went to visit someone that we contacted on the street a few days before. we didn't have her number just her address. so we knock on her door and she was all excited to see us. She's like 50 years old from tailand. we asked her if we could watch Finding Happiness with her but she kept insisting that we watch this concert video from tailand. So after listing to songs like YMCA, and That's the Way I Like It, we finally convince her to put in the movie we brought. She really didn't catch the concept of what we were sharing. she just kept telling us that we should have our "company" (Church) put on a concert and teach people how to dance. haha pretty interesting. I love being a missionary =)So you know that i always write that Hong Kong is the hottest place on earth. always sweating and all that. well on sunday the weather started to change. It got so cold!!! by wednesday i swear it was below freezing. it got to about 7 degrees Celcious. The humidity makes it seem so much colder then it really is. Today the sun is shining for the first time in like a week. it's still cold but the sun helps.On sunday we got to see mike. we had Brother Lee from the bishopbrick help us. the lesson was awesome. we watched To This End Was I Born and Brother Lee bore testimony on the fruits of the spirit, which is exactly what mike needs to hear. he's makeing a little progress but still a little skeptical.A-Fei never came to church but we're still able to call him and trying to schedule a time to meet.On Tuesday we met with Bergonia. She's been having a lot of trouble at home. her daughter is anti Christ and they are always fighting about it. but we had Sister Choi help us teach her. Sister Choi is a very happy person and Bergonia noticed it a lot and it really hit her because she really doesn't have a lot of happiness in her life. sis choi told her she's so happy because of the gospel. they became instant friends.it was an amazing lesson!I love you all so much. i hope that you all have an amazing week. and don't be afraid to share your testimonies. one thing i've learned this week is the importance of a members testimony. if you get the chance don't be afraid. it doesn't matter to who, just take advantage of the short time we have here. it doesn't matter wether its in church, or to a friend or to each other.I love you all. talk to you next week. =)

This Week in Ma On Shan:
Hey Family =) How are you all doing? I miss you all so much!! but i'm having a blast out here. I'm glad that krysty got the pictures up so everyone can see them. I'm gaining a little weight but my zone leader is pushing me every morning to exersice. we go jump rope by the river every morning. All the people here are calling me a Fei Jai. haha it letterally means fat boy. haha It's deffinatly pushing me to lose weight. any way, This week has been awesome. i seriously don't know where the time went.Ok so really quick background, when i first got to ma on shan there were sister missionaries that covered both Ma On Shan and Sha Tin. well they took them out this moves, so at the moment no sisters in ma on shan or sha tin. so any way we got there investigators and one of them is a 12 year old girl who's parents have been inactive for since before she was born. the sisters found the family somehow (because there name isn't on the ward list) and they started coming back to church. so now we're teaching the family and working with Jessica, the girl, and her mom really wants her to be baptised (it's nice to have the parents actually on our side) haha =) any way so we made dumplings with them this last week and just got to know her. she's really shy but really cool. i love her family too.We talked to mike the other day. he's been really busy this week but we had a chance to see him for a little bit. we read the conversion of alma and the story of enos with him. we told him that through prayer we can change our lives for the better and that God is there to help us. I could tell that he really felt the spirit. I know that even if he doesn't join the church now that he will later down the road. I love mike though. he is such an amazing example to me of humility and faith. i deffinatly see a future steak president in him =) hahaA huge miracle happened the other day. so I don't know if you all remember A-Fei from a few months ago. well he was our golden investigator and then out of nowhere he droped off the face of the earth. we've tried to call him millions of time but he never answered. so the other day we were eating lunch and i was telling Elder Posey (My Zone Leader) about A-Fei and how we've never been able to get ahold of him. he said why don't you try to call him right now. so i said ok let me see your cell phone and he did. so i dialed the number and it rang like it always does and then right when i expected the answering machine to come up, A-Fei answered!!! haha so i talked to him and scheduled him for later this week. haha Elder Posey had a huge "i told you so" grin on his face. haha so that's what's been going on this week. lots of miracles and blessings. =)Well family i love you all and i hope you have the most awesome week ever! Talk to you in seven days =)

Hey Family! =) How have you all been? This week has been pretty good. on saturday we had our ward haloween party. it was so fun. we made a backdrop for taking pictures and then one of the elders put on something that made him blend into the backdrop so when we take pictures he would scare them at the same time. it was fun.We haven't been able to see mike this week. he has been really busy with school and work but i called him the other day and every thing should be ok with him. he's been going though the trial of his faith and i think that he is going to come out just fine but we'll see. we just keep trying to help him as much as we can.we had interviews with president chan and they went really well. he gave me some ideas that we can do to help some of our investigators. he is a convert so he's never been a missionary but ever since he was baptised, around 25 years old, he has always shared the gospel so even though he's never served a full time mission he has some of the best missionary stories and experience.well i love you guys so much and i'll talk to you all next week.

The Video Clips!
From Peter1 |
So you can view these videos through the slide show, but you have to go to the web album, which isn't hard, but I thought I'd make it easier on everyone and upload them separate. The one of Peter dancing in a skirt wouldn't upload either time. It tells me it is currently unavailable. So, If I figure out what is wrong, I'll upload it then. Until then you'll just have to use your imagination!
Click on the images and it will take you right to Picasa to view it.
| From Peter |
Picture from Peter!
So we got the Memory card again. These are the most recent pictures of his mission. There are a few more from the MTC, but most are from Hong Kong. Enjoy the kids and I had fun looking through them, we can't wait for Peter to tell us what some of these pictures are and the stories behind them. I also Uploaded a few video clips on the slide show I hope they work. If they don't I'll try to upload them separate. One is of some of the natives I'm assuming doing a traditional dance, one is on maybe a member doing some Karaoke. Then I had to put in the one of Peter dancing with the other missionaries in a skirt, Haha!
Love that Boy!!

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... =)

Hey Family! I'm glad to here that everything went well with Grandpa's Funeral. I really wish i could have been there. I'm really glad that everyone could be there. That would have been awesome to see everyone back at the house again. I miss Camino, especially when everyone was there.This week has been pretty good. after i emailed last week we went to TST to watch fireworks for the mid autumn festival. it was pretty sweet. everyone pretty much goes crazy for mid autumn festival. i've eaten so many moon cakes! i still have like five in the fridge. hahaOn monday through tuesday we had 24 hour exchanges and i went to Tai Wo. On Tuesday we went to go do service at this investigators house. he lives way out in the middle of nowhere. we help a Poh Poh (old lady) with here garden. it was really fun. i haven't been able to do a lot of service here because in hong kong it's very hard to find service to do. but after that i really want to focus on serving people i see. teaching is very important but we are called here to serve and help these people so i really want to focus on that. So yesterday me and my comp went "service finding" and we came across a guys that was trying to lift these bags of sand up a hill. so we told him we'd help. It was so amazing that heavenly father knew that we wanted to help someone that day and he helped us know where to go to find someone. Our shirts were a little dirty and our shoes were brown the rest of the day but we didn't care. it was the first time that i came home really feeling like i did something really good. I love being a missionary. there's no other time in your life where you get to do the things like you get to do on a mission. I love it so much and i'm so greatful for amazing examples i've had in my life of missionary work. my older brothers, my Dad, and My Grandparents. i love you all.I'm so excited for general conference this weekend. here we have it a week later because of translation and stuff so you all already know what they talked about but i haven't seen it yet so i'm pretty excited!i'll talk to you all next week. i love you all.

Hey Family. I just heard about Grandpa Mac. I hope everyone there is doing ok. I wish i could be there right now but i'll be there in spirit. Grandpa Mac was amazing. I'm so glad i had the chance to see him this last february and tell him that his last grandchild was going on his mission. I know that he is in an amazing place now though. and is really happy. I'm praying for all of you all. I'm so glad that we are blessed with the knoledge of the plan of salvation. my testimony has grown so much about the plan of salvation. It is true and i know that we will all see not only Grandpa Mac but Grandma Mac and Grandpa and Grandma Ki again. I love you all so much and i hope your all doing ok.
This week has been pretty eventful, On saturday we had that zone Conference and they made an announcement that made us all so happy. The Hong Kong Mission is offically getting cell phones!!!! haha up to this point only office elders, zone leaders, and AP's got cell phones but in a few months every companionship should have one. i'm way excited! on Tuesday the Sisters appartment flooded, like really flooded (about 2 inches). we helped them clean it all up. I've alwayse wanted to see a flooded house and now i got to see one =) hahaToday for PDay we hiked the Ma On Shan (Horse Saddle Mountain). the peak is called something else but it was really cool. we started out walking by this guys getto house and he's like ya just keep walking up and follow the red ribbons. so we did and it led us though spider infested trees, short bushes that you can't see your feet, and cliffs that are seriously straight up and down. haha it was just me and my comp so we were like man if we die no one would know. haha but we just kept going and all of a sudden we pop out at this peak. haha it was pretty awesome. we found a little better way down. it was so fun though.Well family i love you all and i hope you have a good week.

I've alwayse wanted to see a flooded house and now i got to see one =) hahaToday for PDay we hiked the Ma On Shan (Horse Saddle Mountain). the peak is called something else but it was really cool. we started out walking by this guys getto house and he's like ya just keep walking up and follow the red ribbons. so we did and it led us though spider infested trees, short bushes that you can't see your feet, and cliffs that are seriously straight up and down. haha it was just me and my comp so we were like man if we die no one would know. haha but we just kept going and all of a sudden we pop out at this peak. haha it was pretty awesome. we found a little better way down. it was so fun though.Well family i love you all and i hope you have a good week.
love elder mcallister
