Happy Mother's Day Mom!


   Wow, it was great to be able to talk with you all last night! Everyone looked happy! Ian, you looked a little tired. Hopefully you got to take a nap after church got out haha. Sorry I called you late, I could've sworn that you told me to skype at 7:30. It's all good though, at least the computer worked and we were able to talk.

   The grass seriously looked so green back in Ohio! I haven't seen nice green grass like that for a while. I really miss all the open space and all the grass in Ohio. I love the warmth here in Taiwan. The weather is nice here literally every single day! It has only rained twice so far. The other days, you can just assume that it will be sunny and warm. It's unchanging.

  Like I said yesterday, N... was baptized! She's awesome! I only met her during my second week here in Donghai, but it feels like I've known her for a lot longer than that. I've already seen in this short amount of time how much the gospel really makes people happier. She was already a really outgoing person when we met her, but you could just tell the change each time we met with her. The gospel has also given her a better perspective in life and what is most important. She even brought her older sister to the baptism.  She was excited that I was going to be talking to Eric because I told her that he was in Japan near to where she used to live. She tried teaching me a bunch of Japanese so I could show it off. Unfortunately, I forgot most of what she said, but at least I remembered a little bit.

  Well, I don't really have much else to report. Today we are going to try to play soccer again. Last week it failed because of the rain, but today the skies are clear. Well, I love you all lots! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

Love,
Andrew

Wow Eric! That's too bad that you're home already! Why don't you extend for a little bit and help us out here in Taiwan haha. It was lots of fun to read about your trip in Japan and all of the fun. I'm glad that you got to experience some of the fun heat that we love so much. Was it hot for you Eric? Or was it just about the usual haha. I was happy to hear that Eric got home just in time to help you finish up cleaning out the other garage. Wow lucky you Eric! Thank goodness it'll be long finished by the time I come home!   Things are going well for me down in Gaoxiong. This week was honestly a little rough. We thought that it was originally going to be an awesome week, because we had set up so many new people to meet with. But unfortunately most of them didn't show up like they said:-( That is always a little upsetting because we know what they are missing out on, but we just have to hope that somewhere later on down the road that they will listen to o

Slight Scare...

Hello! Hey I won't have tons of time to email, but I just wanted to sent a quick email to let you all know that I'm still alive. If I went a week without sending you an email you might be a little worried haha. In a minute I'm going to be going to the hospital with my companion for a check up. We had quite an eventful day! We were doing studies and he all of the sudden started complaining about being dizzy and not able to breathe. He said he was gasping for breath but couldn't get anything! All of the sudden he just basically passed out. I freaked out and didn't know what to do. I called an ambulance and carried him downstairs to take him to the hospital. They quickly got him and took him there. He is all good now though so don't worry.  It might have come on because of us always riding around in the sun and running in the mornings. He is as fine as ever now so don't worry too much about him. We are just going to go to the hospital to do a check up and see i

My Final Email Home!

Image
Dear Family and Friends,   Well here it is, the final week of my mission. My last week in such a beautiful country that I have called home for the past 2 years of my life. I don't really know how to express all of my feelings and thoughts in this email, I don't think that is possible to do so. All I can say is that I love my mission. I love Taiwan. I love the message that I teach here. I wouldn't have traded this time away for anything! The opportunities of learning and growth that I've had during this time are impossible to get in any other way. And I can't imagine what it would've been like had I not come and experienced all of this. My testimony and love for Jesus Christ has grown alongside of all of the many people that I was able to teach here. I have loved seeing my own growth, and even more so, the growth of the people that I love here in Taiwan. It will be sad to leave them all, but I know it will be like the sons of Mosiah and Alma, as we all remain
