My new companion is Sister Taylor! She just came out of Macau to serve in Kwun Tong, like me! She was born (first area to serve) in Tai Po, Tai Wo, Sheung Shui after I left the area and served with Sister Farr! They helped Amy, Mandy's friend Leo's mother, come back to church after many many years of inactivity! She has moved to a new area every move after serving in her first area since!
Our beloved Sister Chan, our summer missionary just finished her mission last night, she will be so greatly missed!! She has been such a huge support and blessing to not only us missionaries but to our investigators and members, she is so humble and so willing to serve, so willing to follow.
But we just got a new Summer Missionary on the last minute today! Her name is Sister Leung, and she is so sweetly sitting by us doing her personal study as we email our families, I am really looking forward to get to know her :)
Wendy has a baptismal date, and Raven is praying for one! And Debby is being baptized on the 26th! It is truly a huge miracle to see these three people converting step by step, there is still much work to do. Our mission president, President Hawks just set a new standard of excellence with a great vision: in 8 years, there will be 25 new Stakes established in Hong Kong. And this great zion is established by the sealing of families. We as missionaries need to step up greatly in our faith, diligence and humility in this great work. We are to exercise our faith and all to find families to come unto Christ together, and rely on the Spirit evermore to utilize our time well, using more time and focus towards the less-active members and recent converts, finding families and meeting the families of our investigators.
This Vision is really helping me to be more effective, and to pray and rely on the Spirit evermore.
I know that family is the most important, the whole purpose of our life, and it is the key to happiness and exaltation. It is key to Zion. I love Hong Kong so much, and am so humbled and honored that I get to participate and put forth what best effort I could offer to support in this great cause,,
Loves to you all always,
Sister Burningham
