Drumroll.......I'm staying in Yuen Long!

Whodathunkit, right? It's really exciting!

 

So, hello everyone! How's it going? I hope you're all doing well. I love you all madly, is the main point.

 

So, things have been exciting lately. Really. And life is good. Here's the summary of why:

 

So, we had transfers today.....and I'm staying in Yuen Long with Sister Lau! Hooray! But, things are not the same.....Because we are only serving Yuen Long 2nd ward now! And we don't have any elders serving in the ward with us! Weird, right? Yeah, we also will have two sets of elders serving in Yuen Long 1st ward...because there's this area in Yuen 1st named Kam Tin, and it is the Promised Land. Have I told you?

 

Basically, this means that this transfer we are basically going to have to move all of our investigators over to other missionaries (we will have about 6 left. Bessie is one of them). Also, we will have to learn how to teach boys. We are not sure how to do that yet, since we haven't had to much, but luckily we have ward missionaries and faith! It's going to be an exciting transfer, is what I mean, and I'm glad that I'll be here to help out, since I know so many of these members and investigators by now. Yay! Oh, also, I forgot to mention that there is a new ward opening soon, called the Hung Shui Kiu ward, and they will be meeting in the lovely new stake center near where we live, and the missionaries there are taking several of our investigators (including Ming Fai) and lots of our members. It's gonna be interesting. Lastly, guess who's serving in Hung Shui Kiu and Tin Shui Wai next door? Sister Yiu, my step trainer, and Sister Meldrum (who's been serving next door for ages)! It's going to be a blast, and I'm glad that we have such capable hands to transfer all these people to. Also, I have one more bit of news...Sister Bishop who has lived in the same apartment as me for almost my entire mission finished her mission today. It is very sad, but I'm sure she will do all kinds of exciting things. This time is seriously too short.

 

Well, wanna hear about people and miracles? This is the best part:

 

Remember Veronica from Kwai Fong? She got baptized on Sunday! I was just as surprised as you all! I am so happy for her. She has really grown in the gospel. She is Vina's friend, and I'm glad they have each other to help support each other in the gospel.

 

Also, Karen has kept progressing, but she's so afraid still to tell her parents that she's seeing us and wants to go to church. We actually did some role plays with her to help her practice, but it's still so hard for her. We will keep praying for her...Her baptismal date is for Oct 21, so we're really trying to work with her.

 

Also, Bessie seems to have made some progress! She now understands more about why she hasn't gotten any answers yet...namely that she hasn't really been doing her part. So, we invited her to "schedule Heavenly Father" every day this week and make time to get to know Him. I hope she does.

 

Also, Ming Fai and his cousins are still doing well, and we're trying to set up an FHE to get a chance to see the parents again. We're going to have to transfer them all over to the other sisters, but here's a cool story first: Scheduling little kids for lessons sometimes results in them forgetting and going swimming instead, and in one such case last week, we went to Ming Fai's home to teach him, he wasn't there, and we ended up talking with his neighbor on the same floor, a really nice grandmother who had a grandson Ming Fai's age! We are going to try to teach them soon. We are probably going to have to open a branch on the 10th floor of that building. Ming Fai's family's there, his cousins live there, this nice grandmother lives there...It was so exciting.

 

Also, there is a miracle village in Kam Tin that we have to give to the elders there. We went on Monday to go teach a family we had found through tracting there after visiting a LA there the week before...and this time we ended up being invited into another woman's home and teachign a lesson! That area is so prepared! We are excited for it.

 

Well, I'm out of time, but I love you all so very very very much! Don't forget it! I know that Heavenly Father loves us most of all, and it is so important that we make time for Him in our lives.

 

I love you!

 

Love,

Sister Nielsen
