I'm sorry to admit that I don't have much to
write about this week.
So I should tell you all about rain in Taiwan.
SO HILAROIUS! When it rains here.. no really, it's ridiculous. It's so fun
riding bikes in the pouring rain... until you have to go sit in someone's humid
home and get water all over their house. The rain part is AWESOME THOUGH!
Really. It's like those buckets that dump at water parks. Moral of the story: I
love rain <3
My companion and I decided that we need to
step up body beautiful program because let's be honest-- it's not working.
We're giving up candy this week. Moral of the story: I will shed all my tears
because right now we eat chocolate after every meal. Hmmph. Not a fan, but if
my investigators can give up smoking, surely I can exercise a little self
control.
Two nights ago my companion and I decided to
have a movie night. IT WAS SO AWESOME! We found a Mormon Tabernacle Choir film
about "Joy to the World." I'm not gonna lie-- it's a fan favorite. We
popped popcorn (also-- i love butter so much). Then we sat on my bed after
planning and watched the movie. I liked our little theatre. It was super fun and
actually a really good film about Christmas. I'll keep that in mind in 6 months
when Christmas comes around. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!
You should know that I am not a fan of large
bugs that don't die and they can fly. They are... .eek I can't even right about
it without feeling antsy. Or better yet cockroachy! Not even kidding. You do
not even know how nasty these guys are. The other night right when we got home
I was making some phone calls and my companion was organizing our ensigns. Then
suddenly she just screamed and jumped away. Eeek! Roach spotted. I wasn't even
gonna go near that half of the room. Needless to say-- being the wimps we are.
We called the elders because they live right by us. We gave them the keys to
our apartment and sent them up to the war zone. They came back 10 minutes later
gave us our keys and showed us the picture they took of the sign on our door
that says "we are the number one babes!" Embarrassing--- but I'm just
glad they got the roach.. OR SO I THOUGHT! The little bugger was sitting in a
box on my desk! They only stunned him. I grabbed the box with two notebooks and
threw him off the balcony. Box included. We grabbed the litter the next
morning. Oh I could die. So nasty. I hope to never have that experience
again...
Mostly this week was kind of anti climatic. We
did have a member of the seventy come... While we waited for him we set up to
take a picture and sang hymns. My companion informed me later that an elder
touched my hair. WHAT?! BU XING! (not okay) Apparently he brushed it off my shoulder...
which I would have probably noticed if it weren't for the massive 70s shoulder
pads on the blazer I was wearing. So hilarious. And so awkward. THIS GUY!
I feel bad that I don't have anymore exciting
things to share. Our investigators are doing well. Oh and the visit with the
seventy was... insightful. I didn't have to give my talk. We did talk a lot
about working with members and less actives. The ward I am in only has 20%
active members. Result of the visit with the seventy== las night we had an
awesome meeting with the Bishop about who specifically needed our help. It was
probably the most useful meeting with ward members I've been to. We're
excited this week to put the things we learned there into action. The Less
actives won't even know what hit them!
Cae
ps. this guy by us in the internet cafe is
hardcore playing some killing video game and the sound effects are off the
wall... and incredible annoying! Seriously who goes to play on the
computer this early in the morning?!
LOVE YOU! LOVE THE WORK! And I'm very hungry
this morning.
