Monday: We returned to
my first area in Taiwan (ZhangHua) and got a chance to hiking. Unfortunately, I
forgot my camera today...Sorry Mom! Hopefully, I will be able to send them next
week.
Today: I had to go to
the mission home to practice the song Elder Crockett that we are playing at the
farewell for President and Sister Blinkenstaff. In the crazy rush to get out of
the apartment, I forgot my bag, which has my camera in it. Because it is
raining, we took a taxi so my violin wouldn't get wet. It sounds like that would
be a good thing, but it really isn't. Beyond the expense of it, it makes it
hard to get around since we won't have our bikes.
Tuesday: Our
investigator Bobby (Brother Sun) took us to "TGIFridays" for dinner
which is rather expensive for what we are used to, so we were very grateful for
sure.
Wednesday: We met with
two of our investigators at the college here in our area. It is hard for me to
meet in places like that... It is too loud. It was still nice, just the same. We
also taught our English class. I teach the intermediate one.
Thursday: We got a
referral from a member! That never happens! He was pretty cool. He even set up
another appointment with us again for next week and seems pretty willing to
learn.
Friday: We had the
chance to meet Elder Nipper's trainee's family. The Guo family! They came down
from Taipei to visit my companion. They had to get permission from President
but it worked out pretty well. Their family was very kind and they all had
amazing English! There was also a little miracle because my bike tire popped on
the road home and we just started walking (in the rain) and then a less active
family that had a van, stopped, picked us up and took us home. That really is a
miracle but the big miracle happened on Saturday.
Saturday: It rained like
crazy (again, we are headed into the rainy season) but I had to go get my tire
fixed regardless of the weather. While we were at the bike store we realized my
back brakes were broken. Later in the afternoon as we rode our bikes through
the pouring rain, someone cut in front of me and I had to slam on my back and
front brakes. If I would have only had front brakes I would have been sent
flying over my handle bars. I was so glad that my tire popped so I had to take
my bike in and get it fixed. If we hadn't done that, I don't think I would have
noticed that my back brakes were broken. The Lord really does work in
mysterious ways. We also found four people to set up appointments with, which
was amazing because in the rain no one wants to stop and talk.
Sunday: Best part of
Sunday was Brother Liu passed his baptismal interview! He will be baptized on
6/25!
I am sorry I don't have
any pictures! I love you all have a great week!
Love, Elder Erwin
