Hello Family and Friends!
Well this week was pretty average so this is about all that happened:
Monday we went up to Taipei so that I could take the language test and move on in my language progression. After traveling and getting to the Office, I found out that the office elders had choir in about a half an hour so I didn't even get to take the test but they let me take the next section's materials so my language progression has really taken off! I can actually but things at restaurants or ask someone what they do for work now! It's been really fun to learn! After we failed to take my test, we went shopping so that Elder Liao could buy a new camera. And then back to the area really quickly to get to our appointments.
Tuesday we had my second Zone Meeting! It was a lot of fun and they gave us some really useful training on street contacting since that is the majority of our finding here. It was really fun to see the new missionaries that are in our zone with the new transfer and I found out some of the others that were in the MTC with me are part of our zone now!
Wednesday night I was teaching English again, it is still pretty stressful but I love being able to help some of them understand their questions more and more! I tried to teach them the difference between "s" sound and "sh" sound. Most of them could get it but some of them didn't make any change when they switched words! It was pretty funny but I can't laugh!
Thursday and Friday were pretty normal just planning and finding. We haven't found any new really good investigators lately so I am having a hard time staying pretty motivated.
Then on Saturday I got in an accident with a scooter! Hahaha! Don't worry I don't have any problems but it sure was scary! Heavenly Father really protected me! I don't have anything wrong except two bruises on my leg and my bike chain got knocked off but that was fixed in about two seconds.
Sunday was Elder Liao's birthday! He is now 24! That's right, my companion is 6 years older than me.
I don't really have too much going on this week so this letter is a little boring. I am getting super excited for Christmas here though! We just found out that the mission will all be together for the Christmas Party this year so I will get to see everyone here! It will be super fun!
Mostly just trying to get the work back on its feet here in Tao 4! It's hard work and not really the most fun but I am thankful that I get to be here and work with this wonderful ward! I am thankful that I get to be serving the lord! Love you all!
