We had a special women's meeting yesterday with all of the sisters in HK. Sister Esplin and Sister Marriot from the General Primary and YW's presidency spoke to us. Sister Marriot is hilarious and got up and said that. We got quite the laugh!
It's been a great week here on the mission front!
We had lots of great things going on this week, one of them being the women's meeting! We had our investigator Shirley come with us. She's 65 and LOVES to sing and dresses kind of like a pioneer and avatar. We LOVE her. And she LOVED the meeting. She's great. To be honest I don't have a ton to relay about what was said, nothing crazy new or anything like that, but the spirit that was there was just so awesome. They were just very real and down to earth. The gospel is just so true.
We also hit up Tai O this week. Had to show Sister Hoxer the coolest place in HK! Here are some pictures to make up for the lack of good pictures recently. :)

| I HEART TAI O. I'll be retiring here, so book you plane tickets to visit me now. |
We just have the coolest investigators. They're just all so unique and just very willing to learn. They all for various reasons are having some problems progressing right now, but they've just got so much potential it just kills me! So we're working hard with them and good things will happen!
We have this one investigator named Ben. He's in his 70 and he's a hoot. He likes to talk. A lot. And he's super funny. Every time we see him he tells me I look like Princess Kate and last time we taught him he reached across the table and almost touched my forehead and then as his waved his hand in front of my head he told me in English, "Your forehead, very Chinese." So there you have it. I look like Princess Kate with a Chinese forehead.
We had a funny experience in the elevator heading up to our apartment this week. A man in his 40's got in with us and so on our way up we said hi and asked him how his day was going, you know just real casual. He looked at us like we were the dust of the earth and said in about the rudest English I've ever heard, "I'm Christian." Then he got off the lift. And in my head I thought, "Jan ga?" (Really? You sure you're Christian?) I've repented. But it taught me an important lesson! All we were doing was saying hi and this man needed to tell us that we was Christian as a qualification for why he couldn't say hi back. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But I was reminded to practice what I preach!
So, have a great week and remember to practice what you preach!
Love you all so very much!
