American Foooooood!

We went down to Costco with the other Elders and a friend on pday. It was about a 40 minute bus ride down there. It's really nice though because as long as you ride under a certain amount of miles, all the buses here in Taichung are free! So we went down there and got to look once more at all the American foods that Taiwan has to offer. That's seriously like the only place you can go if you want any. We had some pizza there too! Unfortunately it was the end of the month so I didn't have any money to spend so all I got to do was gaze longingly at all the foods that I haven't eaten in a long time.

  We also had our interviews with President and Sister Blickenstaff this week. It was a wonderful interview and I learn a lot on how to better serve the Lord.  President Blickenstaff is really a great guy. He is definitely a great Mission President and you can feel his love for the mission here. The work for this week was a little slow because of all the meetings and interviews that we had, but things are still going well. I want to make these last few weeks count because President pretty much told me that I was leaving Donghai next movecall in 2-3 weeks. So I'd better hurry up and find some more miracles!

  Our 4th of July was pretty nice. We celebrated by going to KFC for lunch haha. We also decided to be patriotic and sing the national anthem to everyone we called that day haha. Whenever we called anyone we would just start out by singing it. We sounded pretty good too. Our investigators loved it, but some of the missionaries that we called several times in the day got a little tired of it haha. Well unfortunately, I don't have any pics to send this week and my time is almost up, but hopefully I'll be getting some pics soon. I love you all very much and I'm glad to hear that everything is going well. By the way, Dad, I liked your epic story of the bike trip! Love you 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
