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

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
