Sick week!! First off!! It was Not only mine, but Also Elder Jensen and Elder Petersen's Birthday this week. SO! We got matching Shirts #IronManVCaptain America... It was great cuz we get to keep the tradition of getting at least one matching thing with my companion, but its a super dope shirt, I'll attach a picture. Anyways yeah... WE got ice cream, and tim tams and spent way too much of our monthly fund on food this week. But it was a party!!! #WootWoot #TurnDownForWhat #BeatBoxParty #JefferyHollandTalksAreBetterThanTrap #FatAndFree #LivingItUp Also... Its actually pretty awkward cuz all the people in our ward were like "How are you going to celebrate your birthday???" And I was just like... "Well I mean probably finding or something" Haha pretty fun stuff tho. But we ate a lot... MCDONALDS SPICY MCCHICKEN!! Haha pretty good!! Good birthday!

Anyways this week was super sick, because we met a Catholic Angel... So here it begins. WE were doing some finding, nothing too crazy, and we stop this Woman, and its a normal street contact, we talk about her life, She's Catholic.  Anyways, she says something like "So when do you start working in the day?" And we say "About 12:30 every day" And she is like, "Your life is miserable, tomorrow, at 3, I am going to treat you to pizza." So we schedule her, exchanged numbers and the next day comes, and she confirms, us. We go to the Pizza Hut and have pizza, a regular meal with this woman, and we talk a little bit about her religious background, she has a really good story about how she came to be a Catholic and it was really cool how God played such a huge role in her life. Anyways, we shared a little message, and then when we left, she said "Hey, same time tomorrow, I am going to bring you Mango Pudding, cool?" so we were like "Sick!" same time got the pudding, this time, we left her with a Family Proclamation. Super cool and she is showing a lot of potential! Haha and she was like "Do you guys ever miss your family?? Don't, because you have an Aunty here in Hong Kong!" Hahah super nice woman!

Cool Anyways! This week was pretty fun, cuz I got to go on an exchange with a Mandarin Missionary! Elder Straford... We taught a lesson and my Mandarin is at least the worst thing in the world, but I was able to stutter out my testimony with the sounds from Cantonese to Mandarin, it was a fun time...

Anyways, A few weeks ago we said goodbye to Elder Anderson, he had finished his mission. But he left a few words of wisdom that really struck a Chord with me, he said something along the lines of "In everyone's mission, they have a mid mission crisis, where they come down to earth and go to the Lord and admit that there is no way that you can do this... You never know how strong you really are, and The Lord is here to show you that." After studying that principle for these past few weeks, and understanding it, it truly is incredible to me how without God we are strong, but with God we are literally limitless. I love you guys!

Love,

Elder Chen
