Week 21: December 3, 2019

Super good week! Transfers were this Monday, and honestly these past 6 weeks flew by so fast. I also can't believe it's December right now! A big part of that is also because I'm so used to having snow in December but I'm definitely ok how it us right now hahaha. I'm staying in Sunnybank for another transfer, which is a blessing, and we got a new companion Elder Kong who is from mainland China and is super fun. He's also 26 years old so that makes for a major age gap. 

Last week for Thanksgiving, an elder bought like 100 pieces of chicken and a ton of sides from kfc and invited all the elders in my district to come over for a Thanksgiving dinner so I actually got some Thanksgiving dinner. We called it Kentucky fried giving. KFC here is super popular, but its not near as good as in the US which kinda sucks honestly. 

I also figured out something that made me so happy to be here this week. Apparently when President Hinckley was dedicating the Brisbane temple, he said that it would be the key to opening up China. I'm so blessed to be a part of something that big, and I'm so happy to be working with the Chinese people here in Brisbane. The mission has been such a blessing in my life and I'm so grateful to be able to help other people out for these 2 years!
