Happy 4th of July!

Amanda keeps talking about recent converts she is helping and teaching.  I haven’t seen any pictures of baptisms, so I asked her about this.  This was her response:

You are lucky if you get 1 baptism in the HK mission.  It’s not about baptism though.  God promises He will provide prepared people if we are doing what we need to be doing.   Sometimes . . . actually most the time, those prepared people are the ones who are prepared for a seed or a root to take place.  Not all at once will the flower bloom and truth be recognized.  Yes, this is a converting and baptizing mission, but they need to be converted first and that’s not up to us how long it takes . . . that’s up to God. So right now I have come to a happy conclusion that I am planting seeds that hopefully will one day be realized.

Now here is her weekly update:

Monday:  We attempted to go on a hike by our apartment, and we made it up about 1/8 the way BUT way to many GINORMOUS spiders appeared all over the trail!!  So we turned around and came home! BUT we got some good pictures of them!

Tuesday: We had district meeting with our new district for the first time. Super fun district! Then we scheduled a member later that night with the Elders, but she "forged" us (didn't show up) so that was  "chaam" (to bad).  We also visited another member and brought him flowers (: Cute old guy.

Wednesday: CROSSROADSS!! I love love love crossroads! This week me and Sister Flynn’s job was cleaning out an old office and painting it! I had paint all over me... What do you do (: Then one of the workers at crossroads took us to her house for ice cream (: YUM!!  Then we went out to visit a Less active, Luk mouth Lam, and she wasn't home, AGAIN!  But her cute 9 year old was, so we got to talk to her a bit (:

Thursday: We tested out pretzels for English class, and they were SOOOO GOOD!! We woke up the next morning and all the dough went bad. SO we had to start from scratch for the actual English class and it turned out BROWNIE MIX was all we had, so we make “Pretzel Brownies”. . . you can imagine how gooey that was..

Friday: Weekly planning.. took us a while.. Then we did a study class with some youth in our stake going on missions. We did our personal and companion studies with them, and it was a mess! I was just a HUGE flirt fest, and they were on their phones the whole time. So... this week I think we'll change a few things up.. Then we had English class . . . the messy sticky brownie pretzel English class . . . but it was fun (:

Saturday: We taught our recent convert, Leung Hing Daih. We taught him at a member’s house and they made us cinnamon rolls!   YUMMY!(: Then we went to the church and taught kids English class. I fell asleep the whole time . . .  oops.

Sunday: Ward correlation at 7:45am, so we woke up at 6:15 and left at 7:10.  I tried to curl my hair, but when I walked outside, “BAM”,  no curls. Love Love Love the humidity! (;  I could've slept in till 6:45  . . . pity.  Then we had a member invite us over for dinner (: the KINGS! . . . an amazing family in our ward. They are so cute!  They made us french toast and it was so good !!

This week was pretty good. I learned a lot about how to manage stress, cuz yes, a mission is stressful. who'd of thunk?!   I also FELL IN LOVE with the Because of Him video. That part where the camera turns on Christ after He's resurrected and he takes a step towards Mary Magdalene.   Oh It just gets me!! We're also in the middle of 17 miracles in honor of the 4th of July and the 24th of July.  Levi Savage is one AMAZING missionary. Much recommended video for those of you about to go out on missions!

Love you all!

Have a good week!

Love Sister Webb

Ice Cream with all of the missionaries who help at Crossroads.  Sherry, the supervisor, had all of us over.  She's so nice and so appreciative of all we do!

Celebrating Sister Groberg's ONE YEAR mark!  (She's from Pleasant Grove and has become a best friend to me!  She's in the red shirt)

We may have eaten a bit too much in our PARTYING!!
