Kwun Tong 24 - 14 Month Mark

I am overwhelmed and I feel broken, in a good way. I am filled with love for the people of Hong Kong. I am coming to realize how much I really love them even more as time goes by. I think about the part member family Dang family, and how much they need the healing from the Savior's Atonement, I am so happy and humbled to see Wendy progressing, she is thinking less negative thoughts and is praying more, and is changing, slowly but changing nontheless, she came to church at 9 am for the first time last sunday!! Which means she sacrificed/gave up on a lot of her habbits to do it! Debby has passed her baptismal interview and she and her member sister Michelle are trying to invite their mother to the baptism, they are so happy and seeing them together I feel so much strength. Sister Law Poon's husband was just baptized last sunday! after 12 years of not willing to be baptized because of his habbits that he wasn't willing to give up. but for his family he changed! and he is smiling and grateful man! Sarah was out of the hospital to see him be baptized and the family is so happy! Not long more and they can be sealed for eternity,, :') We also visited Suzana's family again on Sunday with our beloved summer missionary Sister Leung, and got on the topic of church, baptism, and good influence of our church! they love having us come over! We thank sister Leung, we know it was her influence that opened up this family! We have more potential to introduce the gospel to this huge family! The twins are still doing so fantastic, they support us missionaries to spend more time helping others to come unto Christ though they miss spending so much time with us. They truly understand our role and purpose and show their testimony through their actions. Vicky, a former investigator, after meeting with us after eefy and explaining clearly our purpose and how gospel can help her, brought a friend specifically to meet us to hear the message of restoration and prophets! She wants to also learn more and learn the truths! Which was so incredible because we weren't sure what her views were because she isn't the kind of person to say  a lot or show any emotions, so this action really showed us how big her desire actually was and her faith. 

On Tuesday night A-Yih met with us after having just returned from mainland. She broke down and told us how happy she feels when she is with us, but, she must leave us because she doesn't believe the Book of Mormon is true. We discussed, and it was clear that she has no faith in the truth that there is a God that created us, that is our Father in Heaven, and she has too many doubts to even ask for an answer. So before things get too complicated, she wants to leave and not see us anymore. It really broke my heart. I don't understand why someone who has seen the light, instead of trying to find out what and how to have that light, decides to leave and remain in the dark and be unhappy she left the light. But, I know that the Savior understands her. I know that He will always be waiting for her to be ready to find out, it really pained me to know how much longer she would choose to not be happy, but I have peace knowing that that is why we have our Savior. I love the gospel, I love my Savior, I am eternally grateful for the mercy and patience He has shown ME, and I hope to bring as many of those that are ready to meet Him.

Loves always, I must go, I love Hong Kong so much,

Sister Lee
