So the reason that you didn't hear from me on P-day is because this week we went to the temple today. And that means that we sacrifice our preparation day to go to the temple. It was really good.Sooo this week was really stressful because I am the District Leader and some not so good stuff happened:
First, Elder Luck, the brand new trainee in my district had to go to the hospital for surgery because he had appendicitis. So he had to have surgery and that was last Thursday. He got out today while we were at the temple. Sooo yeah my little "grand kid" was in the hospital and we had to bring them all the stuff that they needed and the hospital didn't provide so many things. Like toilet paper and other things like that.
Then two of the sister's investigators who were supposed to be baptized last Saturday, dropped out because their husbands are jerks and won't let them get baptized.
THEN the assistants came and the plan was to go on exchanges with them. One assistant with us and one with the other elders. But as mentioned above, the other elders are in the hospital. So what ended up happening is that one assistant went with me and one with my companion. Which means that we had to make two plans and make sure that we didn't visit the same people or do anything the same. PLUS I had to prepare an hour and a half District Training meeting. So yeah. that's kinda it.
I did get the package, thank you. I wasn't able to eat any of the candy yet because I got it last night and we had to get up early (4:30) to get to the temple. I can get my own flash drive.
The picture is at the Taibei temple visitor center/ chapel.
The people here seem to think that all Christian churches are the same and if someone is already Christian, then they don't listen to you just as much as anybody else.
Sorry I'm not writing too much, I have a massive headache because I haven't eaten since last nights dinner and its dinner time right now. so Its been 24 hours. Should have done a fasting prayer... So yeah I can't think of anything more that really happened this week besides the normal.

Oh except there is this white guy in our ward who is our ward mission leader. He is like 55 and he lives in the English school that he teaches at. He has been here for seven years and doesn't speak any Chinese. So when his home teacher went over to his house, we had to go and kinda translate because his home teacher thinks that he knows English but he doesn't really. Anyway. It was really awkward because he was trying to set up the guy with a girl and he kept on telling him that he needs a girlfriend and that he should have been married a long time ago and things like that.
OK sorry that's it for today. Today is short because we need to go start English class.
See ya in a year,
