Letter Home #82: Oops

Dear People,

Blame my mother.

She sent me lots of pictures of my family, and of course I had to email them and tell them how awesome they are, and then before I knew it I had 4 minutes left to type this.

Things are going well with Elder Mohk; we're working hard on training and pulling out power statements (because it's a bit redundant to tell someone you're a Missionary when they can plainly see that you definitely aren't a tourist). For some reason part of the culture here in the China Hong Kong Mission is to tell people you're a Missionary, and I've never really understood why.

PingPongStar was baptized by his great uncle yesterday, and when he came out of the water he hugged Uncle, and then did a jumping fist pump and said "Woo! Oh Yeah!". I've never seen someone be so excited to be baptized (or throw so much water out of the font)! He's a great kid (he's two years older than me...) and I hope that he goes to Japan for the Olympics so I can be super proud of my Recent Convert.

It'd be a dream come true.

Love,
Elder JE O'Gara
