3 Month Month Mark in Hong Kong, Start of Move 3

It is still hot outside and looks like it is June in Utah, yet we had Christmas music playing in the malls and places before ThanksGivings even came, it is quite interesting :)
But it's sad most people don't even know what Christmas Season is for, and it recommits me that I want to testify of my Savior Jesus Christ more so that in this season people may at least hear His name. Our district is thinking of going Caroling every week, not sure how that will work but I am pretty excited.
Last night we had the opportunity to visit the Lo couple. Brother Lo was the Bishop for TaiPo Ward before and he was the first Hong Kong Temple President. He is now in a wheel chair and his health isn't very good, but he never misses coming to church on Sunday and is always early to the meetings. He is an incredible example. Sister Lo is also very out going and physically active for her age and really takes good care of Brother Lo, she is always smiling and greets everyone, they are both temple workers and have about 2+ feet stack worth of family history records. They are incredible missionaries for the otherside of the veil and incredible influence and strength and testimony builder on this side. I will send a picture of them :)
Last Sunday Sister Mahn came to church!! After we left her house she said that she resolved her own concern and conflict through action of love that she could come, and had a great expirience at church! She hasn't been to church in about 10+ years and she has really been through many heartaches that are starting to heal through the gospel.
We are meeting many more new people lately and it's been very exciting. I have been thinking about how the Lord has rescued me from the world into HIs gospel and why is it that I am able to enjoy His mercies when all these people are still suffering in this world. But through serving my brothers and sisters under the guidance of the Spirit, I am just very grateful to be used as Lord's instrument to rescue His other children as well. I know that the Lord's plan is perfect and He knows what He is doing. I know I can always trust in Him and do my best in His watchful care.
Last week we had a talent show in the Stake where Sister Farr had the opportunity to bear her testimony through dance. It was very powerful and beautiful, the Spirit was very strong and it was very moving. I don't think I ever realized how much I actually enjoy watching dances, I think I would also enjoy animating them :) Many people came upto her afterwards and expressed that they were grateful to have seen the dance. It is such a blessing that we are able to use our talents to bless the lives of people on our missions!
Out of time and I must go, but as always I love you very very much!
Sister Burningham
