June 6, 2016 - Birthday Surprise!

Dear Family and Friends,

Monday - I got to spend my birthday at the mission home! We had to pick something up for Sister Blickenstaff and then she realized that it was my birthday and we got to go to lunch with her and President! I am so lucky! Most people don't get to do anything for their birthday. Elder Taylor and Booth are the current APs and I served with them both when I was in Tainan, so we are pretty good friends. They surprised me with a cake when we got back from lunch with President it was so kind of them. 






Tuesday - We went on exchanges. I went with Elder Ah-Fua and we all know that the Polynesian people and I are good friends so we had a great time together. 

Wednesday - Grandpa Sun (Bobby) committed to live the Word of Wisdom! Which a big deal in Taiwan because almost everyone drinks coffee, tea and alcohol and bunch of them smoke.

Thursday - We had quite a few lessons but got stood up for most of them but that is okay. 

Friday - We watched the movie about the Prophet with Bobby and he really enjoyed it! 

Saturday - We cleaned the church with our investigator and the ward.  We attended a baptism after we cleaned the church, it was crazy because they were said, "Now the missionaries will sing for us", but no one told us, so it was pretty bad. 

Sunday - We forgot to buy food on Saturday so we thought we were going to starve but the Wu family invited us over to their house and saved us. :)


This is the Wu Family, They are great people!


​This is our district, except the other Elders they didn't come. 


An investigator gave me a bracelet; it is made by the aboriginal people here in Taiwan.

I am going to perform at a farewell for President and Sister Blickenstaff there are three stakes coming. Elder Crockett, (we served together in Tainan), is going to play the piano and I'll play the violin. I won't get the music for it until just before so I am just a little stressed about having enough time to practice it.

Well that's it for this week. I love you all! 

Sincerely Elder Wen (Erwin)
