Moves! ( Transfers!) Today is the first day of my new Transfer, and the big news is... im not in Tai Po anymore! Despite recent success President Chan decided to make the Tai Wo and Tai Po areas combined again, and I moved along with Elder Lee! so now the tai wo elders added an area!... they have ALOT to do now! So... right now I am actually emailing from my new area... ( get ready for this) on HONG KONG ISLAND!!!! I'm surrounded by Huge Buildings everywhere!!!! It's crazy! and there are so many white people! I feel pretty out of place, especially after serving out in the boonies ever since I came to Hong Kong! My area is now Chai Wan! not the biggest or bussiest part of the island... but that is where I will spend all of my time! I
If we have lessons that is... and we will... I hope that I can make this area an amazing place and just... teach all the time! :) So... now even cooler! My companions name is Elder Davis... and guess what!?!?!? He is from St. George!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So awsome! we are both looking forward to this transfer a lot! Besides that I don't have much to say.
I amactually am kind of sad about leaving Tai po,... the ward was really so good and I have made so many new friends there, also one of the people we teach, Syler, had been progressing so much lately and really getting a desire to learn more... we were actually planning on giving him a baptismal goal, I trust that the Tai Wo elders will do that :) .
When we found out we were leaving we called to tell him that new missionaries would start to teach him... we talked for a while, and after I got off the phone we got a text message that said. "Thank you, i will miss you two, thank you for help me learn. God bless you."... to me it was really special. It felt really good to know that someone feels like I have helped them... actually until that point on my mission I didnt really think I had done much of anything to help anyone on my mission. I really hope that he will be baptized soon and can enjoy the peace and blessings that come from learning and applying the doctrine of Christ in life. :) I totally love being a missionary :)
Thats about everything for this week. Thank all of you for all the support you've given me. I am so blessed, and so thankful for every one of you in my life :)

SO! this extended week was quite interesting! alot happened... but as far as missionary work goes... almost nothing happened! we had 2 lessons on monday before the new year holiday started... and then... it was hopless from there... there was little to noone on the streets to contact. and Everyone was gone, or busy... and angry.... BUT! our wise and fearless leader president Chan always knows these kind of things! because he is a Native!!!! So, he expertly planned lots of awsome activities and meetings to keep us busy! like zone meeting! which is just a really long meeting where you recieve so many ideas and revelation that your brain cant hold them all and they all dissapear anyway! :( lame but its really how it works, i really hope i will get better at remembering... but for now at least i am pretty good at taking notes! I feel confiedent when i say everyone learned alot about being a better missionary and how to improve their teaching.
The Biggest and Best story of the week is... we had a mission activity!!!! the whole mission ( 91 missionaries) got together and went to Big Buddah! it was SO cool! and i took LOTS of pictures dont worry! i have been promised by my mother that they will end up on my Blog! oooooh! i never thought i would have my very own blog! i feel so special! :) Anyway! so we went and i got to spend time with my MTC district brothers the whole day... well almost... until everyone split and me and a fairly small group went to hike the highest peak in hong kong!!!!... i vow... that i will never again be caught as out of shape as a was that day... :)... Anyway... we hiked up and after dragging myself up a mountain of 2090 big stone stairs... (not including the little hills) i sat at the top of a huge mountain and looked down at the little nearby cities... it was really really cool... i felt so accomplished. Today! my legs still feel like jello and my calfs still treaten to fall of my legs everytime i move... BUT! it was SO worth it! i took lots of pictures! and a couple little videos!
Last night was really cool every 6 weeks we have a special fireside called " My conversion story" where the missionaries who are going home invite a recent convert or a re-activated member to share their experience and testimony. Every time is a really cool experience... This time we had a special opportunity to hear Sister Chan ( The mission presidents wife) share her conversion story. She said her elementary school was also a christian school. So her reason of believing was that she didnt want to "lohk deih yuhk" ( or... fall to hell) so she would believe and follow. Everyone laughed, and realized its quite easy to understand with all the pastors and ministers here that someone would fear that. So, her teacher pulled her aside one day and told her... there are 2 churches you cannot have any affiliation with one is the mormons, the Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints, and another church that she had forgotten... but that it was ok and she could join any other church... ( make sence?... not to me either!) so she made sure to listen. Then one day she was on the street and by chance started talking to two people... she had talked to them for a while and had been thinking wow these people are really nice! they are so special, not like other people. Then after talking to them for a few minutes... she realized... they were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!!!! but... she didnt feel like anything was wrong and accepted visits from the missionaries. she was taught and learned the truth for herself and wanted to be baptized no matter how much anyone else criticized her... and asked her dad about being baptized. he wouldnt let her because they belong to a different church!... and after alot of discussion... it eventually led to her not being baptized and the missionaries stopped meeting with her... but she still came to church and wanted to be baptized... after about one year the missionaries started teaching her again... and they gave her a form to be signed by her parents to be baptized... when she brought it back to the missionaries... her dad had actually signed!!! but it was for HIS baptism, so they sent her back and she gave a new form to her dad... he said he would only sign it if she would keep the church people away from him... SO! she was baptized! haha its was such a funny story i dont do it justice... one of the coolest parts is... rumor says... she has kept the form with her dads signiture... waiting for the day that he will accept... :) her faith is so strong... she is probably the biggest example of enduring faith that ive met on my mission... it was such a touching story... :)
This gospel is so special. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is true! i know it. im so happy that i have had it in my life to guide and direct me and my family through every challenge. Ive been blessed more than i realize, and i know my heavenly father has a plan for me to recieve blessings of hapiness throughout my life, and through each of our lifes. :)
Thank all of you for you example, everything you have done for me, and everything you have taught me throughout my life :) i love you all so very much :)

Hello Everyone!!!!
How are you!?!? Have you eaten rice? What’s going on in America... i see America on the news ALL THE TIME... but it’s on the MTR train and the sound is turned off so i can’t hear... but it looks like crazy stuff is happening there constantly!... anyway... what’s new!? is all well in Zion?... St. George? ;) i was watching planet earth this week ( don’t worry its approved :) ) and it talked about Zion National park... and i decided i quite miss it... so i was just wondering how it is doing! :) ha-ha... ANYWAY!!!
This week was absolutely CRAZY... but I’m very sorry that the whole reason it was crazy... is all classified... anyway... i will just say this... i wish All missionaries could just constantly remind themselves about being the missionary their mother wants them to be... and who they Need to be... I remember my Mom ( my AMAZING Mom who taught me just about Everything i know over my whole entire life... ) used to tell me before i left the house " remember who you are" ... that’s a classic line right? On my mission remembering that little phrase has helped me a lot. My Mom said it so much that i think of it all the time! its SO good! cuz now i won’t forget! ... so with this last week’s events... I wonder if not all Moms say that! I’m not going to name any names or say anything about the stuff, but there are some people, even a Missionary! who despite teaching people all day everyday "who they are" and "who they can become" because of who they are... Still forget Who they are!!!!... that’s about all i have to say about this subject... but sadly it took about a week to clear up because me and about 7 other missionaries ( even though in the grand scheme there are Way more!) have all been caught up in a mess that another missionary created, to me, just because he has forgotten "Who he is" and Who he represents. Basically... it is still not fully cleared up as far as i know... but this week has been full of talking, interviews, phone calls, and a bunch of other stuff that has really slowed down missionary work this last week... and i won’t lie... I am pretty angry about it... BUT!!!! i better stop! sorry i got off on one right there... anyway... That actually is about it this week...
I re-re-read a talk by president Eyring this week that he gave in conference... called "Trust in God, then Go and DO..." It is AWSOME.... i think i could spend my whole mission just studying this topic... and in a way i will!!! ... But... instead of talking about it... i think that i will just Encourage Everyone to read it :) especially the very last 2 paragraphs... which i like to call " The Hammer " :) ... That whole talk is SO Powerful... :)
Thank all of You for Everything you do and have done to support me out here on my mission :) i Know that this is "a great and Marvelous work" i know that our Savior is always there to support us, especially when we are willing to improve ourselves for the benefit of out fellow brothers and sisters. I know that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is true, and it is perfect in every way. He will help all of us become the people we want and Need to become, if we will just follow His teachings :)
Thank all of you again for teaching me and ultimately giving me this amazing opportunity to help others come to the same knowledge that we have. :) It’s the happiest thing i can imagine :)
Love all of you,
