My New Call Is To...

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 happening.

New Update:
Ya, hopefully I'll be able to go to the general conference. I'm not sure though. It's in my mission and I'm pretty sure that the Salt Lake Temple is in my district too so maybe I could go there too. Everyone got sent all over the place. My companion is going to southern California...he's soo lucky! We have some people going to Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and maybe some other places. I'm the only one in my zone going to Utah though lol, of course I would. Everyone's family lives in the mission I'm going to, so they all want me to visit their family and friends lol. That would be a good way to set up appointments lol. Everyone else is going to be able to call, but they're all flying so they'll have time during layovers and such. I think that I'm the only one not flying so I may be different and have to wait...Idk who I need to talk to but I really want to try to call. Hopefully I'll be able to call Eric too. I hope that we can all meet up and fly to Taiwan together but again, I have noooo idea lol. That would be really cool. Oh, and the group before us didn't get their visas either so they're already in their respective states for the temporary call. I really hope that I meet some Chinese people in Salt Lake City even though I don't know how well I'd be able to talk to them. I really want to though. My teacher might give me the names and numbers of some of her chinese friends who live where I'm going so maybe I could teach them. Anyway, some big changes are coming up.
Love, Andrew

My Final Email Home!

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

The Half-Way Mark. 半路上标志

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
