Week 18 in Hong Kong

LeihHou everyone!!

How was everyone's new year?

As for us TaiPo sisters we counted down to 11pm (in China Hong Kong Mission we get up at 7 and go to bed at 11, yes it's a special mission, only because the city wakes up later) and celebrated Japan's New Year haha,

Anyways, here are some news, Mandy came upto me on Sunday to talk to me about her baptism, she has this great fear of water and she had a baptism coming up on the 15th, she is now more comfortable with the idea of quickly going under the water and coming up, but is still nervous, so she decided to move the baptismal date up a week so that Elder Ng, who she feels most comfortable receiving baptism from, can baptize her before he finishes his mission and leave on the 13th or so. So we have Mandy and Angel her little sister (they wanted to be baptized together and Angel has been wanting to be baptized already in her first lesson) scheduled to be baptized this coming Sunday!!!! They have already passed their interviews on Monday and we are only waiting for their paretal signatures for their baptisms! I am SO Excited for them!! Mandy's family situation is really complicated and she is arriving in her teen years and seeing her and her family struggles I saw myself back in her age, and I knew Christ and His Gospel will protect her and help her through all the life's challenges. Through the gospel she will know who she really is, that she is a daughter of God, and she will not need to be confused by her family's complicated situations. I am so grateful that Heavenly Father gave me this opportunity to witness my Hong Kong little sisters come unto Christ, this miracle, it is all because the Spirit guided, prepared, and supported them. God truly is so merciful to show me His imperfect servant these miracles to testify to me that His work truly is a Great and Marvelous Work.

The field really is white and ready to harvest

Sincerely, with love always,

Sister Burningham
