Dear Family and Friends,
To start of the week
Elder Crockett (the awesome piano playing Elder I have played with before) and
I practiced and literally wrote an arrangement for the EFY performance that
took place on Friday. I was so tired by the end of it. Standing for 4 hours
writing and changing music. I know am a sissy but your back starts to hurt
after awhile.
This picture describes very well the way I feel. Hopefully my body will stop destroying itself. If I lose any more weight I will disappear into nothingness. It was a really good week. It feels a little like getting hit by a bus. However afterward you just appreciate life more right?
On Tuesday and Wednesday
I went on exchanges with Elder Chen and there was another crazy flash flood. We
got soaked just in time for English class.
On Thursday I played
three musical numbers at a funeral and also a member of the seventy came to
visit our mission and I was invited to play a special number with Elder
Crockett. We put it together half an hour before. I had no music just some
reminders on a piece of paper. Missionary life of inconvenience, but totally
fun.
On Friday we went
straight to the mission home and worked out some last minute details and then
got in a car with the office elders to go to Jia Yi. The musical number went
really great. It was pretty crazy dozens of returned missionaries, David
Archuletta, Elder Crockett and myself. We got a chance to sit and talk with
David for about 2 hours behind the stage during other parts of the program. He
is very kind. We took turns helping him translate and that was pretty cool. I
speak Chinese... What, really?
I'm trying find some
pictures of the performance. Hopefully I'll have some next week.
On Saturday we went back
to normal missionary work. Our good friend Kris took us to dinner and
Coldstone... Yeah they have cold stone in Taiwan. I didn't eat any because I
have been ill all week so eating ice cream would have destroyed me.
I love you all!
Elder Erwin
