So... Transfers aren't until Dec 18th. We had a pretty good idea that Sister Chan would probably get transferred this transfer. But transfer calls came early, and she's now in Macau! She'll do AMAZING! She'll certainly be missed though. I learned SO SO much from her and I'll forever be grateful for all that she taught me!
Since we had to cram 3 weeks of things we wanted to to together into 3 days, we took lots of pictures, so here's some for ya!
 |
| This has been our motto for the last few weeks! We just slap it on the way out the door every morning, and you just always know it's going to be a good day! |
 |
| We also got into the Christmas season and hit up some of the Christmas mall displays on p-day to take some pictures. It's like this huge thing here for all the malls to have these statue things and then everyone goes and takes pictures with them. |
 |
| Not a super great picture here, but this is of the Frozen one at the Tsing Yi mall. It's crazy because they only let so many people in to take pictures at a time. For the other ones, we didn't wait at all (for obvious reasons). But for the Frozen one, it was worse than waiting to ride Space Mountain at Disneyland! So this will have to do. |
We have a super sweet gaaisih right by our apartment. It's just this big warehouse full of food and it's crazy!
 |
| Chicken feet. What else do you need? |
We taught our last English class at Kwai Fong because this last Sunday we moved to Tsing Yi, so that was sad too. But this is our favorite lady in the whole world! Her name is Lai Yee and she's an English champ! She always says the opening prayer and the first thing she always says in her prayer is "Forgive me, I am Chinese and I do not speak English well." She's the coolest pohpoh around!
 |
| And the last picture as a district. They're the greatest! |
 |
| Super sad having Sister Chan's last lesson with Iris (far right). I've decided I'm just going to serve in Tsuen Wan for forever so I don't have to say goodbye to anyone. Cool? Cool. |
Thursday we went and basically swapped companions. Sister Chan is headed with Sister Law to Macau and Sister Cox (from my MTC group) is now with me in Tsuen Wan! Not quite sure who decided that the two buhndeih Chinese missionaires get to serve together and then send the gwailohs together, but it's been good!
 |
| Sister Cox and Sister Robinson. This is our companionship in a picture. Thanks to the new elevator in our new chapel for making this selfie possible. |
Sister Cox is great!! She's from Logan and she's an Aggie so I really don't have to say much else! She's a fireball and she's got more passion about the work packed into her than any other missionary I've ever met! It's been an adventure figuring it all out together these past few days, but she's amazing and we're sure getting a whole lot of help from the Spirit to make it happen!
Just a quick thought for ya: We had a great fireside in Kowloon Tong this week where recent converts were able to share their testimonies and conversion stories. It was amazing to hear how the came to learn about the gospel and how they overcame many different things to join the church. Really a cool experience. Zenle and Iris both came and they both really enjoyed it.
After the fireside we were on the MTR headed home and I realized that I didn't have the phone. Which to anyone who knows me, this is no real surprise. Definitely something I struggle with. But I haven't had to worry about it for the last 6 months and now I do. So I lost the phone. And I was stressing pretty bad about it. I've gotten pretty good about not stressing about things that are out of my control, but this was something I could control and I was just pretty ticked at myself. Not to mention the next day was Sunday and that's how we get a hold of everyone that we need to, to make church happen!
It was then that Iris grabbed my arm and looked me in they eyes and said, "keihtou." (Pray)
Wow. Ya. I know right? Here I am, freaking out about something super dumb and someone who I'm supposed to be helping learn things like relying on prayer and the spirit had to remind me of something so simple. She's the coolest. So super simple. But there it is. Got a problem? Stressed? Need someone to talk to? Pray. It always works. 100% of the time. Lifetime guarantee. And FYI some Elders found our phone at the chapel and we got it back the next day. So like I said. It always works.
Well I love you all!! Have a great week and don't forget to pray!
Love,
SisMoRob
