dear family and friends. hello. so this week... not a lot happened. so sorry if this is short. i will try and tell a few stories.
so that guy thats family is down south and my companion elder Thomas baptised, we thought he gave us a fake number, but we decided to call it one lst time and he told us his cell phone was broken or something and he isnt in taizhong right now. but he will come back this week and so we have hope!
so here there is carrefour and its like a walmart, and they have everything. and a few weeks ago i bought pants there for less than $6 USD. sweet huh? the missionaries all call them naked pants because they are so thin. but that's perfect for missionaries who have to ride bikes all day long..

a few weeks ago we went to the post office to send letters and there was a huge line and that made us sad because we didnt want to waste time. so i prayed that it wouldnt take an hour like it looked like it would. and then this guy ran into the post office and yelled "the cops are here to give us all tickets!" and everyone in line left to move their illegally parked scooters to a legal area. we didnt have to leave because they cant ticket bikes! so we were instantly bumped up to the first people in line. prayer works you guys.

last week it was like just sprinkling, not really raining and we were biking on a really long stretch of road and this guy pulls up beside us and says "i bless you with safety because it is raining" oh and whenever i say someone says something in any of my stories you guys have to assume its in chinese unless otherwise specified. k? thanks.

oh my goodness the funniest thing happened. well i think its funny. the sisters have this really strong new convert and she got a tattoo really big on her arm that says "heavenly father is always by my side" in english! i laughed my head off. but the funny part is that the sisters were the ones who translated it for her so that it would be in english! they didnt know she was going to get it tattooed in huge letters on her forearm hahaahaa is that mean for me to laugh?

i think my favorite scripture right now is alma 24:14. its pretty good...

last night there was a huge storm and elder Thomas got some really good pictures of it. he has a really nice camera. but i think im fine with the one i have.

the light saber is just a scripture highlighter that the person taking the picture holds.
