Hello!
I am supper sorry I wasn't able to email at all last week.
We were planning on going to an amusement park as a district with a few recent
converts and investigators. We were planning on emailing right before leaving
but the night before we got a text from one of our investigators. She was
having her baptism interview that week and last minuet had to change it to
Monday morning/afternoon. The interview ended up taking two hours so we were
left with no time to even look at our email last week. I'm really sorry. But on
the bright side she passed the interview and the amusement park was a ton of
fun :)
Because I wasn't able to email last week I feel like I have
a lot to talk about this week.
2 weeks also our mission president randomly showed up to our
DTM. I was planning on having the DTM in Chinese because half of our district
is Taiwanese but our president doesn't really speak super great Chinese
yet so I basically had to say everything
twice, once in Chinese and then in English so that everyone could understand.
It was pretty intimidating to have President Teh watching me so closely for an
hour and a half. Thankfully I think it went all right.
We went on exchanges with the zone leaders after DTM. It
took us a few hours to get to there area so we didn't have a ton of time to do
much when we did get there. It was a lot of fun though.
Later that week we both got a little sick and we were stuck
inside for a day. Thankfully it only lasted for a day or two.
The amusement park we went to last Monday was a ton of fun. Everything
was all decorated with zombies for Halloween and because it was a Monday there
were hardly any people so it was ton of
fun.
The next day we had to get up really early and travel a few
hours to get to a tri-zone conference. Elder Funk from the 70 came to Taiwan
and we all got to meet with him. I personally learned a lot about faith and how
to use the book of Mormon more in every phase of the work. A few weeks ago our
mission president changed the mission standards from finding three new investigators
a week to seven every week. I think the things we learned at this conformance
will help hit this new mission standard.
The next day one of the Elders in our district went home, He
was just a short time missionary that was planning on serving for just one
transfer but because he went home early his companion is now with us. So right
now I have two companions, Elder Daines and Elder Lin. These last few days have
been a ton of fun. I don't think I have ever laughed so often on my entire
mission.
I got the package a few days ago, Thank you so much :) It
feels like It has been forever since I have had sour patch kids or
butterfingers. Elder Lin is also a big fan :)
Because we have one less missionary this week I got to teach
the children's English class this week. It was actually a ton of fun. Most
missionaries say that children's class is the worst but his was my first time
teaching it and I had a ton of fun.
On Sunday we had stake conference and our mission president
came and spoke. He spoke in chinglish (half Chinese half English) the whole
time so his translator was really confused and was having a hard time knowing
what to translate. It was a little funny to watch.
I don't have a ton of time to look at all of the stuff you
sent me about BYU right now so I will print it off and get back to you next
week about it. Thank you for taking the time to look up all of that stuff for
me :)
I think every picture you sent with Grant in it he was
wearing some of my cloths. I'm still having a hard time believing he is big
enough to fit into my stuff. Not only is he big enough to fit into my cloths,
he is bigger taller than me. That will take a long time to get use to.
Thank you for taking the time to email me again, I love you!
