Taiwan Feb 9, 2014

Well hello again, and hello all!!!!!!!! :D

    Ah..... another week gone by in the magical land of Taiwan..... an it

was fun!!! Yay!!! I'm just glad I'm typing this to you all and not speaking

it haha, because I am losing my voice!! However, I am better from that

weird sickness/bug thing I had :D Yesterday I just talked really long to an

investigator about feeling the Holy Ghost. like really long haha, and now

today I'm having troubles talking ;) joy haha!!!!

    So..... not to keep you all in suspense or anything, but I'm pretty

sure I can use my SD Card this week!!! But I won't know until the end of

this email when I try to attach photos, sorry to keep you all in suspense

like that ;) bwahahaha!!!!!! I'm so evil!! Tee hee!!!

    Sounds like you had a party in San Jose!!!! And Let that Sister Tia

Heinz know that I'm praying for her here and that I know she's making the

right decision!!!! Yay!!!!!! And father, as for emailing president. I will

leave that one up to you haha :D If we did that instead of Skyping he might

do it... I don't know at all haha. It does say in the white handbook I'm

not allowed to see family, however, if you let him know that you're coming

to Taiwan to drop off grandparents, then that's ok :D I don't know, just

ask and see what he says!! So that it wont distract me from the work,

because I'd much rather be out here in Taiwan working than at home doing

school and stuff haha ;) Yay!! good luck, may the force be with you!!!! :D

So.... on to the week!!!! (I remembered my journal :D)

Monday: Went to Xin Ying and ate food!!! yay!!!!! yep.... yaa.....

Tuesday: Met with some awesome people, prayed, yay!!! I didn't really

write a lot haha..... however, we did have a ZTM meeting that was off the

charts!!!! It was the last day of Chinese New year, so we still had two

meals with members, and ate too much!! So I kind of waddled into ZTM

bahahaha ;) I'm just kidding! ah!! yep..... ya.....

Wednesday: I realized what an awkward person I am haha, that was about

today :D However, we did go to Jia Yi and meet with president

Blickenstaff!!! That man is inspired, and he let me know about a new way to

look at Ether 12:27, and it completely blew my mind!!! We have to come unto

Christ in a humble manner and all these things. it was awesome. promise.

And then we found out some more about the... situation I'm in right now

haha! So Every move call is 6 weeks long, and at the end of the 6 weeks,

some missionaries will move Etc. However, Elder Long goes home 4 weeks into

the Move call, which means that I have 2 weeks with not companion haha. So

there's a lot of talk about what will happen to me, but the truth is, I'll

just find out next week when I email you all!!!! Because Elder Long leaves

next week!!! :( oh no!!!! :( That's ok though, change is good :D

Thursday: We had a little scare with our investigator getting baptized,

but through the spirit and scripture, it was all good :D However, It did

scare me a lot :D

Friday: It was a really good day, with McDonalds in the middle haha!!!!!!

We then Did a Quest out into the middle of nowhere. All rice fields.

Nothing. However, It was cool, and some nice family invited us in for

dinner!!! Some random family in the middle of Rice fields and banana plants

just inviting us in to eat :D it was awesome haha, and yummy!! and

apparently healthy, but I don't know haha :D

Saturday: Had dinner at a members house and it was awesome!!!! Wow, I just

keep saying everythings Awesome... but really, everything really is quite

fun haha!!! ha.. ha... ya... ok....

Sunday: Losing voice! yay!!! However, I did get to sit next to a Drunk guy

at church, that was new! Not the best smell... but that's ok, next time he

comes to church he'll be sober ;) or else he is going to get chewed out by

some Taiwanese people haha ;) yep!!!

So that was my week!!!!! I hope you enjoy reading haha, It was fun ;)

doing some preparation for Elder Long leaving, and that's about it haha! So

now... the moment of truth... if I can attach photos!!! yay!!!!!
