Hello all,
One of the major points of new is that this week my companion and Elder
McGowan's companion are Zone Leaders so they have lots of meetings so we go on
splits a lot. One time last week we went to his area and got fed by a part
member family. They were really cool. The 7 year old wouldn't tell us his name
so we called him mouuh mame (To not have a name). Their apartment was HUGE it
was about the size of my house back home which is HUGE by Hong Kong standards.
They were also on the 34th floor and we could see Big 6 out their window. (We
call the Chinese mainland Big 6 because that is what mainland literally
translates too. We started with some kind of soup with meat and carrots and tree
fungus. That was pretty good. Then we had the main course which was a bowl of
rice on which you put other things, in this case pork, vegetables and shrimp.
The shrimp turned out the be very spicy so I didn't eat too much of that. Then
we shared a message about family scripture study and how that would bless their
life. The non member father was really involved in the discussion so that was
awesome.
Something kind weird here. There is no Daylight savings of any kind so
it gets dark like middle of the night dark at 5:30 pm. So that is
interesting.
This week we also had interviews with our Mission President. When we got
to the chapel we were surprised to find that neither of us had keys to the
chapel so I had my interview with Pres. Lam in the mission van. Still weird to
have the steering wheel on the other side. We read D&C 31 and had a really
great discussion. Then I switched with my Companion and chatted with sister Lam
about motorcycles so that was cool. She still calls me Movie Star because off
the picture I sent in of myself haha she is awesome.
Then later in the week elder McGowan and I went on exchange again. we
meet 3 people on the train. and chatted with them for a while. They were all
very impressed that 2 gwok lowe (Chinese slang for a white person meaning "White
ghost") could speak Chinese then one of them wanted a picture with us haha great
fun. We gave them our number so we will see if anything comes of it.
Last P-day we went to the Bruce Lee museum that was cool. I am excited
to come home and be able to watch those movies without sub tittles or
dub.
For service we helped the ward clean the church. They spent three hours
on just the chapel. They go Hard here. Then they fed us lunch. Which was tuna a
corn sandwiches. and to answer your question you all have in your head right
now... no, no it doesn't.
love you all,
Elder Walker
