| Elder Muir and Elder Mikesell MTC April 2013 |
Elder Mikesell with Elder Muir at the MTC. Elder Muir is from Austrialia and named Justin "Ranga" during pretty intense 4-square competitions! Ranga is what they call the orangutans in Australia. Elder Muir thought it was fitting for Justin's red hair. Highlights of the MTC included 4-Square, devotionals and singing in the choir.

Elder Mikesell's first companion in Hong Kong, Elder Kwan. "Elder Kwan is pretty much the biggest stud I've ever met. He was converted about 2 years ago, his whole family is anti-Mormon and he decided 4 months ago that he was going to serve. It's pretty incredible. We've been assigned to open a new area. We do lots of findings, lots of talking (well, I try, but nobody knows what I'm saying) and lots of walking."

My first area in Hong Kong is Kam Tin, an area in the New Territories. It's a jungle! We are doing our best to establish the church here in Kam Tin. My area isn't what I expected Hong Kong to be! I'm in the middle of no where!

Okay, so I've been training for the last few days... I don't know why either, so don't ask, haha. My companion is a good kid though. He was born in Canada but speaks pretty good Chinese because his parents are from Hong Kong, so I got lucky. He knows how to talk with people about normal stuff but doesn't know a lot of gospel terms, which is the only thing I know, so it works out ok, haha.
