Great Week...

Hey everyone!

 Thankfully this last week has been much nicer than the last two, it only rained one day this week! That made things a lot easier for us. We also had an amazing weekend. L... was baptized!! It was a double baptism. There was also a little girl from the W... family in our ward who was getting baptized as well. They were the family who were super good with helping us when we were first meeting with N.... It was a really nice baptism and L... was smiling big and really happy.

  For this next movecall I will be staying with Elder Moore again in Donghai. Elder Kujanpaa in our district is going to be moving out to Tainan, and my old friend from Tainan, Elder Galura is going to be moving into our district! I'm really excited that he's moving in with us. He was a really good supportive missionary when I first got on the island and it will be cool again to be serving next to him. 
 
 Yesterday was Elder Moore's birthday! So we had some cake and a little celebration for him at the end of our activity last night. The Sisters in our district baked a really tasty cake.  
 
  Eating at the toilet restaurant last week was pretty fun. Everything in there was toilet themed. My icecream was served to me in a squatty potty...that brought back fun memories of Africa haha. It was a good time.
 
 Well I don't have that much time this week. A member who is going on a mission soon to Oregon wants to eat lunch with us and we're going to help him get ready to leave. He's a super cool guy and was really pumped that he was going to get to go to America on his mission. Alexa that's awesome that you're getting a chance to do a mini-mission. That's good experience. Just enjoy talking with everyone and just sharing about why you love the gospel so much. It's a joyful experience. 
Well, I have to go. I love you all lots!
 
Love,
Andrew

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 ...

My New Call Is To...

Image
Dear Family, Well I found out where I'm going to be serving for the next 6 weeks. Anyone want to make some last minute guesses? Everyone brace themselves, I'm going to...............Salt Lake City, Utah! I was so right! I was almost 100% sure that I'd go there and I was right. Everyone says that Salt Lake is so cool so maybe there's something to it. I'm going to be leaving on Tuesday by train and I'll be taking a 40 minute ride. The only downside is that since I won't be waiting for a layover, I'm not sure if I'll be able to call or not....I'll work it out and see. If I am able to call, it'll prob be around 6 or so my time, maybe later. I'm in the Utah, Salt Lake City Mission, do you know anyone that I should see in that mission? Oh, I'll be in Salt Lake during general conference so maybe I'll be able to attend a session there. That would make it a little better lol. Well, I'll keep you updated on everything that's happ...

The Half-Way Mark. 半路上标志

Image
Hey how is everyone doing? i can hardly believe that an entire month has gone by and i am already more than half way done here! Time just flies by so quickly here and before I know it I will be in taiwan. We had a lot of new missionaries come into our zone last wednesday so my group isn't the youngest anymore. That means that we're actually supposed to be the experienced ones here lol. Idk if we are or not but we're coming along. It reminds me of when I first came to the mtc, I didn't know any chinese so even if other people were saying simple phrases like I'm happy or I want to sleep, I would have no idea what they were saying. Now when I just say easy stuff like that, the other elders are like, woah, you know so much chinese!  I wish, but i've certainly have come a long way. I'm actually really glad that I'm learning chinese as opposed to some other languages, cuz some elders were saying that for their language, when you read, you have to read like up ...
