April 3, 2011 - New area - Yuan Lin

OK this week was pretty good. I got the "hump day" package! And It's a good thing I did too because for us, yesterday was fast Sunday and we forgot to buy food for dinner. So I had candy! Which was yummy but the problem is that right after dinner we went to 北斗. Which is over 5 miles away. And we obviously took our bikes. Which means that if we go as fast as we can and don't stop to talk to people and if we "get around" the red lights, it takes about 45 minutes to get there. We then taught a quick 15 minute lesson and had to bike 45 minutes back as fast as we could because the Sisters had two baptismal interviews that I had to do. So yes last night I biked 10 miles really fast and did my first baptismal interviews as a district leader (they passed). The sisters are really good and very focused on their purpose. They had 16 investigators at church yesterday. So I am very grateful to be in this position to learn from the best. I also get to check up on the new trainees' Chinese in a few days.



I'm super sorry that I don't have Monday madness still. I haven't unpacked yet! I don't have any time at all anymore! I haven't even unpacked my sheets yet or anything! So yeah I'm sorry.

I'm also sorry I don't have any really good pictures or anything with me in them. This letter might be short. I had a lot to talk to president bishop about because I am in charge of a district now. Hopefully next week will be better.

Can you guys do something for me? Every few weeks we get emails that have word documents attached to them but the computers here at this specific place that we email doesn't have even a basic word processor. Sooooo can you guys go to portableapps.com and download openofficeportable for me? and then email it to me so I can just save that to my memory stick and run it off of that and open those documents instead of having to got to a print shop and pay to print off one little thing? thanks. Also have you guys seen those "universal remote"'s that only turn off TV's? that would be useful. Not like the expensive kind that works with all of your gadgets. The kind that I want works with almost any TV but all it can do is turn a TV off. That is its sole purpose. On the internet they should be about $5. Not very much.

My companion is Elder Gillespie. He is really good and he is from.... Well I don't know where. And neither does he. His dad is in the air force so he's lived everywhere. Right now his parents live in Germany. We get to watch conference next week on Saturday and on Sunday. I can't wait! Last time was soooo good! I can't believe its already here again. That was fast. Anyway. Elder Graham has to go now and prepare some stuff for District Training Meeting that is tomorrow. And tomorrow we are doing a giant service project. Sweeping tombs!!

See ya in a year,
