Thanksgiving Roast

This week was pretty crazy. We had our Thanksgiving party as a zone on Thursday and it was, pretty awkward.. We are all pretty cool people but just not very comfortable with one another yet. So hopefully we can really get together and be more unified. So we ate some turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, green been casserole, fruit, rolls, brownies, and pies. It was so good, but have of the zone got sick afterward and that was hilarious. They were all complaining that they felt really sick, my companion got hit too. He really wasn't feeling good so we tried to power through and do some personal but he just slept through it. (gif included) then he said he needed to lie down so he knocked out for 4 hours... Lets just say I got some super good scripture study in... 

The other pretty cool thing this week was I went on exchanges up to Tai Wai. And these Elders have the MOST expensive apartment in the mission. And man it was HUGE. In all honesty it wasn't that big, but compared to what I have been living in it was gigantic. That exchange all we did was teach lessons and it was lit. I really connected with my Zone Leader and the exchange flew by. After the Exchange we had a little music event at the Kowloon Tong church. It was sooooo good. One of the performers was this OLD guy and he looks like a straight thug. He walks up, faces the crowd, and then shows off his amazing hat.

Man, I suck

This week has been a lil bit of a roller coaster. To say it briefly, I am still adjusting to my new companion. I am really sorry for the past weeks of crappy emails. Here are a ton of photos and gifs, out of time but next week will be better!

And because we like peanut butter...

Cow Head Corner

What is good my few friends that still read this. Sorry for last week. We were in an Apple store and literally I could not focus. I wrote those few things to a couple of people and then just listened to the music and danced around the Apple store and played with iPads the size of moniters and the new iPhones that are straight from space. Honestly was fun, but I am sorry. This week will be better!

First off, Transfers are in and I am finally leaving my baby area! I am honestly all over the place. I haven't slept well the past couple of nights. I am eating a lot less of my Ramen. I am already almost packed up and I feel really weird. Not gonna lie I cried a lil' bit, and I feel like I will do so again this next few nights. I just love this area, I love the ward. It became like my little home here in Hong Kong. But sadly I learned something from this. I have learned how to love these people and the area, I have full confidence that I can do that in any place I go. The thing I learned is that I have not been giving everything I have. I am crying because I feel like could have done more. I know I could have done more and I feel like I let some people down. It was a strong slap in the face but I remember something the Area Seventy 2nd councilor shared with us. "When I left my mission I was with 5 other Elders and 3 Sisters. We all reminisced and shed tears of joy for our missions, except for one Elder. He wept for the time he wasted, and the things he had not done." I will not be this last Elder. I have recently felt the same way and I will no longer just flow through. I want to be ready and worthy to be where the Lord needs me to be and be obedient to the enticing of the spirit. 

My new area is Ngau Tau Kok, or Cow Head Corner lol. The area is booming in growth so I hope I don't mess it up. My new comp is an Elder Liu from Utah, he is a pretty cool guy. He was in my Zone my first transfer. Still a junior so that's nice. just have to focus on the area. 

I also have been playing a TON of basketball lately. I have been getting a little bit better, but like not to impressive. I just need to work on my grip and then I could dunk. Dunk on some kids and then dunk 'em in the font lol. No pics sorry, I will catch you guys next week. I'll tell yall all about the new place.
