Letter: recieved Dec.15th, 2009
A lot of this is stuff he has put in his e-mails, but here goes!
Hey Family!
Happy Thanksgiving! Probably with how long the mail takes it will almost be Merry Christmas!, haha. How are you guys? I just got your letter today with the memory card in it. Thank You so much for taking care of tat for me. I hope you liked them. I was looking at some of them today and it seems like forever ago that I took them. Anyway thank you for taking care of that for me. hopefully within the next few months I'll have another one for you.
I did not know that Mandi was pregnant! That's so cool. There are going to be so many many little babies crawling around by time I get home. That's cool that you are helping out with massage and all. Do you think I can reserve a 10 minute massage for when I get home? I'm definitely going to need one!
Everything here is going awesome! I'm still in Ma On Shan (written before the moves), my baby area. I'm in my 4th moves or transfers and almost in my 5th. Time flies so fast. My comp right now is Elder Wortham. He's awesome! We've been together for almost 2 moves now. We're pretty sure that I will probably be moving this next one though, but we will see.
We haven't been able to get ahold of our investigator Mike for about a week, but we've been having some success with a couple of our new investigators, Jessica and Siu Lo. Jessica is 12 years old and a little shy, but really awesome. She really likes treats so we will usually make cookies or cake or something with her. Her mom and dad are members, but went inactive before Jessica was born and just recently started coming back to church. Siu Lo is a 20 year old from mainland China. She is so awesome though. She understands everything we teach her and reads the Book of Mormon almost everyday! It's pretty different that once they took sister missionaries out of our area all our investigators turned into females. At first it was awkward, but now I think they are so much easier. They actually understand and are way more humble then most guys in Hong Kong.
Today for Thanksgiving we went with the entire mission to do service. It was so cool seeing everyone there. I totally rebuilt a fence. I'm pretty proud of myself!! After we had a Thanksgiving Luch. We had mashed potatoes, gravy, turkey, stovetop, cranberry sauce and to top it off.... Pumpkin Pie!! You can't get any of these things in Hong Kong. We were so Happy! After we played rugby. It was way fun. A lot of people here play rugby, because of the British influence. American Football doesn't exist out here. You should tell Ki if he doesn't like football he should try out for Rugby. I think he would like it.
I love and miss you guys so much. You are all amazing! Your support helps so much, seriously! I'm so excited for Ki, Kelten and Knightin to all get their calls ti the China Hong Kong Mission! Haha. Anything could happen. I'll see you all in the next life.
Love,
Elder Uncle McAlllister
He also wrote little notes to each of the kids, but I won't bore you with those!!

This Week in West Point:
Hey Family! How are you all doing? How is Christmas going so far? I miss the snow so bad. haha. I'm loving West Point!! This last week was amazing! I can't believe how much i have in my area. The IFC building (Tallest building in hong kong, for now at least) is in my area. the thing i don't like though is that like seriously half the people here are white. I don't like white people any more. haha there just really rich and rude. there are a lot of people from mainland here too so they don't even speek cantonese so i just turn them over to my comp that speaks a little mandarin. it's deffinatly different then Ma On Shan. I love it though. our investigators and members are amazing. One of our investigators, Candy, is the most humble person i've met. We were just at a lesson last night with a recent convert and her husband apperently is an amazing cook so they invited us to there house for christmas dinner. I love this ward so much.My Companion Elder Chan is amazing. i feel bad for him though because he has to put up with my slow cantonese. he's helped me so much this last week. it was just us two living in the appartment so i've been talking straight chinese this last week. i love elder chan though. he's an amazing missionary and an amazing teacher. I don't even feel like a senior comp with him. Half the time i just follow his lead. haha the only time that i feel like a senior comp is at the end of the week and elder chan teases me because i have to do the numbers and not him. hahathis morning we moved all our stuff down the street to the new appartment. i hate moving in hong kong! haha we live with the aberdeen elders now.Well i gotta go family but i love you all so much.

This Week in Ma On Shan:
Hey everyone!!! =) How are you all? Alot has happened this week. The biggest is that i moved. i've been in my new area for about 3 hours now and it's completely different from Ma On Shan. I moved to the Island!! =) haha i'm so excited! my new area is West Point. its all sky scrapers and buisness buildings. totally defferent then Ma On Shan. My new comp is Elder Chan. I got a native companion. He's way tight! The craziest thing is that i am now senior companion!!!!! I'm only on my 5th Move. I totally don't feel like senior though, he knows the area and he's lived in hong kong his whole life. I'm a little nervous but really excited at the same time. he says that the ward is really good and really like to help the missionaries so that's really good.This Moves 25 Missionaries went home and only 5 came in. the mission is really shrinking. so they are going to close our appartment so we have to move next week. we'll still be in west point but just in a different appartment. so i'll have to move again (moving in hong kong isn't exactly the most fun) haha but it's all good. We'll be in this appartment for a week and then move next week.I'm really excited to have a native companion. I hope that my cantonese well improve a little. He has pretty good english too. so far we spoke mostly Changlish (English / Chinese). haha it's actually pretty intresting because you'll just say a sentance in English or Cantonese and just throw in a few words of the other language. its something chinese people do alot, even talking to eachother they will still throw in a couple words in english.Well i love you all and i'll talk to you all next week. I love you all so much! behave yourselves =)

This week in Horse Saddle Mountain (Ma On Shan):
Hey Everyone! I can't Believe that it's december already!! Time seriously flies when your having fun! =) haha I wish it would slow down just a little. This next week is the last week of this moves. I find out next wednesday if and where i'll be moving. I really don't want to leave Ma On Shan. I feel like we're just now starting to have success. I know that if i move it's what God wants me to do but it'll be hard. I've been in Ma On Shan for over 5 months. any way i'll let you all know next week what happens.This week has been really good. We still haven't been able to get ahold of mike but we're trying. On sunday we had a new investigator come to church though. he said that he's busy durring the week but he would come next sunday. On Monday we met this old guy and pulled him back into the church. we told him about sacrament meeting and he asked if we sing songs. we told him yes. he said good but that his voice sounds bad when he sings. he's really cool. like around 75ish years old. He told us that he can do Coligraphy so we told him to come back and teach us. He came back the next day and taught us. it was so cool. He wrote my chinese name and it looked so tight!Yesterday we tought Bergonia with the help of Bishop Chan's wife. we tought the plan of salvation and she loved it. she said that she wants to tell her daughter about it (the anti christ one. she believes in reincarnation or however you spell it) any way at the end of the lesson she said the most humble prayer. she told Heavenly Father that she was putting her family into His hands. She's so awesome.Last night we tought Jessica the Gospel of Jesus Christ. we tried to think of a cool analogy for each principle. it was really good. one of the analogies didn't really work out. it involved a lighter and a tea bag. we ended up burning 25 tea bags without it working. haha it was funny though. i have a pretty cool burnt mark on my hand now =) haha.This morning we got up at 5 so we could go hike Lions Rock (a mountain that seperates Kowloon from Tolo Harbour) We got to see the sunrise over hong kong island and we could seriously see all of hong kong. it was awesome.Well Family i gotta go but i love and miss you all! I hope that you have an awesome week! be good and behave yourselves =)

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

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 =)

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.
