Hello family!!Sisi that is a weird dream.
Pops, so far I haven't found a really good way of studying Chinese. It seems like the words you really want to learn, you will learn and you will use. So it is good to have an SYL book. If you speak all in Chinese but then you don't know a vocab word, you write it down. Its how we all do it at the mtc. Its good because then you learn the words you use most, even faster. As far as characters go, Ive found that just memorizing them on flash cards isn't really enough. You need to actually use them. So part of studying characters is reading the BoM in Chinese. That way you get used to recocnizing the characters in a book. The flash cards are made by the mission. They missionary who put it all together lives here in my shi zhong ward. His english is really good because he went and studied at SNOW before his mission. His name is Tommy. I thought I would put that in there.
Yes, they have lots of weird fruits and veggies here but I have no idea what they are called. I just point to them and the person puts it on my plate. Most of them are really good. Oh yeah. a few weeks ago I tried chou dou fu and it was soooooooo000o0o0o0oooo gross.
Man that family reunion sounds awesome.... oh well. I get to baptize people! ;)
Ok so we found this guy in the Area book and the only comment some random missionary wrote on it was, "needs baptism". So we gave him a call. He has met with us twice. He wants to be baptized because he knows he will be able to change and live a better, cleaner life after he is baptized. He has been having some problems with his wife and is scared that if he doesn't change that they will get divorced and he doesn't want that for his little 6 year old girl. She likes church too! The wife works on sundays so I haven't met her yet. But he is really awesome. He passed an interview this past week. Hopefully he will be baptized in the next two weeks.
I also taught a drunk guy yesterday. He told us that he wants to quit. we are going to help with that. He lives in our apartment complex so we can find him when ever we need to.
Sorry this is short, we need to help an elder pick up his new companion at the train station.
Love,
Elder Graham
