Hello!
When did Christian get his mission call? And he will be
serving in the same mission that Simeon is in?
This week we had another Typhoon, this one was a lot bigger
than the last one. We were told not to leave our house on Tuesday. We were
planning on getting in some extra studies and calling some former investigators
but then the power went out and we no longer had any cell service. Because of
the storm it was really dark outside and because the power was out we didn't
have any working AC. so we pretty much just sat in the dark and heat for a few
hours. There wasn't anything that we could do because we couldn't see
anything. In the evening the storm
calmed down enough for us to go outside but the power was still out in the
city. There were lots of trees down all over the roads and nobody else was
outside. Elder Lin (another elder in our district) told me multiple times that
he was worried about the zombies.
English has been a bit of a struggle lately. With less
missionaries in the district we have had to put our beginner, intermediate and
advanced class together. Last week we tried to play twenty questions. We had an
advanced student volunteer to go first, her name is Nathy. We took turns as a
class asking her questions to find out what she was thinking of but there were
a few people that just didn't quite understand the game. The first few
questions were pretty good, "is it alive?", "is it big?"
and whatnot but then a student asked Nathy "Are you single?". My
companion almost fell over he was laughing so hard and was trying my best to
stay calm. The student that asked that question was really confused because he
didn't know what he did wrong. So I explained the rules of the game again and
then went on to the next person the ask question. He asked her "can you
cook?" at this point my companion was actually on the ground laughing
along with three our four students. I tried my best to reexplain the rules
again but as I was explaining another student yelled out "do you have a
facebook?" and someone else asked if she had a line (I think it is
something similar to facebook) and the guy that asked if she was single started
asking for her contact information and where she lives..... I'm not so sure
Nathy is going to come back next week and I don't think I will ever play that
game in English class again.
Yesterday a member referred us to a friend that is currently
in the hospital recovering from a car crash. He said we could visit him in the
evening but when we got to the hospital we couldn't find anyone inside and
other than one or two lights in the entrance there were no lights on. We tried
our best to find his room but we couldn't find any maps or signs to help us
know where to go. So in the end we spent about 20 minuets running up and down
the long hallways of this giant deserted hospital, making this the second time
this week I felt like I was in some kind of zombie apocalypse movie. But in the
end we did find him and we were able to teach him about the restoration. He
sounded pretty excited for us to come back this week and continue sharing with
him.
I hope you all have a great week!
