Dear Family and Friends,
This week was a good
one. At the beginning of the week I was bedridden. I couldn't move because of
pain. You might ask "Why is that a good thing?" It was pouring
torrential rain outside and our humble Taibao was very empty to say the least.
So my companion got to avoid the nasty weather and rest for a bit and take care
of his sick companion.
I asked Elder Cox if I could wear a scarf instead of a tie... he said "only if you wear it like a tie... so I did!" haha! 很帥! Obviously I didn't go out like that but I really thought about it.
On Thanksgiving we went and ate some turkey but... It was very anti climactic... That is our Thanksgiving feast right there. To be honest we went and got another dinner because this was very unsatisfying. Haha!
Also on this holiday of thanks we had a special encounter on the bus with
a bunch of Australians! There was 20 or more of them here to study Taiwanese socialized
medicine. They were all doctors and nurses. I told them of the pain I was
having in my head and body and they said I should go and see and acupuncturist
or go get a massage. I readily agreed but no time really! It was so nice to
talk to them on the bus, even though they weren't from my country they kind of
felt like family... probably just because they spoke English.
We found some old
Christmas stuff in our apartment this week so we decorated the next day because
everyone knows that the day after Thanksgiving is the day Christmas becomes
legal. We have Christmas music going all the time now and we sing Christmas
songs in our studies.
We had 5 people at
church this week even though it was pouring rain. Brother Wu is having his
baptismal interview tomorrow and will be baptized in the next upcoming weeks.
Sister Wong met with us at a member's house. She is great we explained the Plan
of Salvation, she has a lot of questions about it what we teach. She and I get
along really well, we are hoping she will be baptized in the end of
December. Our new investigators, the twins are super cool they come to
everything and are super sassy! They have a little bit of potty mouth but it
makes us laugh to watch them sass each other every second of the day. Sister
Zhang and Sister Zhang they definitely make everything very interesting.
I have been working on
my balance... I hear standing on your head stimulates hair growth hopefully
this will keep me from going bald! haha!
We emailed a little
early because we are going to take the high speed rail to Taizhong to visit my
old companion Elder White!! The high speed rail travels at nearly 200 miles per
hour so we will get there in 20ish minutes when it is normally almost 2 hours!
Pretty cool eh?
Well I love you all!
