Well,... I’m sitting here and I’m realizing that I only do this 2 more times before the end... wow... Today was my last time through the temple as a zone. Just one more time... on my last day.
I have finished up all the records here in TST getting it ready for the new guy and we have had some good success finding recently... TST is a powerhouse area now!!! Everyone wants to be here! It’s the coolest! I’m so thankful that I could spend the last quarter of my mission here. I love these people and I already feel how hard it is going to be to say goodbye... I don’t know how I’m going to do it.
I got permission from President Chan to call people that I have taught on my mission... it’s really weird and sad to know that I probably will not ever see most of them again. Luckily technology is amazing now days that I can still keep in contact with them.
Wow,... I really never saw myself in this spot. I mean, it still doesn’t seem real, I’m just expecting to go through with my next transfer and I'll probably just be moved to my new area with my new companion and I’ll have to haul all my luggage on to the MTR just like every other time... at least that’s how I feel... I actually just don’t really know how to feel. Here in Hong Kong I have another family! I am really excited to see my own family, more excited than I am scared, doesn’t misunderstand... But I really feel like I have to leave my family again to get there! And that won’t be fun!
On April 1st we are having our dying fireside called "My conversion story" where all of the missionaries going home invite someone they taught and was baptized or a less active member they helped to come back to speak and share their testimony and Conversion story. So I invited Rochelle. She is powerful! And I think that because the topic will be centered on the Book of Mormon, she is absolutely the one I want to invite. Good stuff.
I don’t really know what to say... if there is anything to say... Kit and Ray are doing amazing, were working with them to find an appropriate date to be Baptized, sadly I will not be in Hong Kong when that happens, same with Sam, and with Felix... But it’s okay, I'll give them a call or something, and Kit actually comes to America about once a year so I can see him after for sure!
This week we are starting to teach 2 Families! One is a Member Referral and the other is, I don’t know if you remember me talking about the Chan Family? Well... anyway! Mrs. Chan called me on Tuesday night and wants us to come over! so... that came back out of Nowhere! I’m so excited! We will see both of them this weekend.
Wow time is going by really fast; I just don’t know what to say. I love my mission... and I am so scared to leave. More scared than I have ever been before. I’m sure everything will be just fine. I’m so thankful for the blessing of my mission. I’m thankful especially for Family, and leaders at home and leaders here in Hong Kong that have helped me to get here. I feel like it is so interesting, how I came on a mission, I don’t know if I understood this at all... I’m thankful that I did! But the reason I say that is, for some reason I don’t really understand, I felt like serving a mission would help me "Give Back" to the Savior for all He has done for me or to Honor my Parents and family by doing what I knew was right and hoping that I could give back more of what I owe or to make up for all that my Parents have sacrificed or "Repay" the Lord what He did for me,... I started all this, just to realize (even more fully now looking back) that the Blessing of my mission... has actually made my debt Greater, to the Lord, and to my Family... I hope I am expressing this clearly. I have received so much more than I have ever given, and that I could ever give!, and though that won’t stop me from doing all I can to be in Their Service... I realize now that i could never "Make up" for all they have done for me. I don’t really know how to say it. In every area of my life, I know realize how much more I could have, and must now give. And it makes me excited and happy. I don’t know how to explain, hopefully you understand... if not... I’ll try to explain again some other time. ha-ha!
Anyway! I love you! Thank you so much for your prayers for the people that we are teaching, they see and recognize miracles every day. Your prayers are heard and answered. I also feel the blessings and Power of Your prayers. Thank You so so much I Love You! Can’t wait to see you again soon!
