Well, it's been 10 days and I still don't have much to write about! Whoops!
This week was awesome! Chen Ba got baptized! It is so awesome to have gotten to know him! His wife still hasn't gotten baptized but should be able to within the next month! He is going to be an awesome member and has prepared himself so well! So the story behind this baptism... His son is a member and has been since he was 13. He went on a mission and is currently the ward mission leader of a different ward. His parents were never interested but my companion, trying to call the son, accidentally called their home phone. But he took the opportunity to ask if they wanted to meet with the missionaries and they actually said yes! Then through a lot of lessons and giving up a lot of things like tea and smoking, he totally prepared!
We started a second English Class this week and it did pretty well! We just had a lot of little kids and their parents there so hopefully it will help us start teaching families! I am starting to enjoy English teaching a little bit but it is still really hard! As my Chinese improves, my English kind of goes down because either I speak all Chinese when we are contacting or teaching or Chinglish with the other missionaries! Hahaha!
I still have a pretty hard time finding/contacting people but I actually don't worry about Chinese at all anymore. I feel like I can teach pretty well now and I am about to finish up the next section of the language program so I will finally be able to start learning Characters! I am so excited! Our area is doing really well, we just need to find some new investigators as ours are either getting baptized or not progressing much. But that shouldn't be too bad! I am excited!
Oh! And last Monday we got to go to Chaing Kai Sheck Memorial (I don't know how to spell it in English) It was really cool! Just a really big plaza with palaces and the Taiwan version of Abraham Lincoln!
Well, sorry the email is a little short and disorganized, but the church is true and the gospel is amazing! Love you all!
