Dear family,

So this past week was pretty good.
I got the package on Friday (the day after thanksgiving) so close! but that's OK. I gave the cookies to my comp. He said that they were way good.

Yesterday, Zeng di xiong went to church for the first time. Which is awesome. But the only problem is he lives in Xin Zhu. Which is up north. Not even in my mission. And that's where he goes to church when he doesn't have work. So when he gets baptized, he will be baptized in that area. I won't even be able to go to his baptism. But he is really excited to be baptized. His goal is for the 24th of December. He only has one possible thing preventing him from getting wet in the white clothing. And that is his wife. His wife fandui's him getting baptized. She is fine with him going to church and learning and reading and praying and doing everything. Except getting baptized. They have this idol in their house that is some kind of god that she worships and she doesn't want him to get baptized so that he can still worship the idol with her.
So that is that. We are meeting with him tomorrow.

On Friday the sisters have a baptism of 3. A single mom and two of her kids. I did their interviews. They are pretty good. And our recent convert Liu zhen jie will be doing the baptism.
The Li family already moved to taibei. sad face. But now they are close to the temple. And they call everyday to say hi. We may not ever see them again. We saw them for about three seconds before they rode their scooter all the 6 hours to taibei.

We didn't have any turkey. But we made some mashed potatoes. They were good. The garments a perfect.
Sisi is that Andy Clark's brother?
Tell pop's I don't need anything and I got him a Christmas present that we can share. It is funny. But it is all in bopomofo so he wont be able to read it. But he can learn.
Oh the only thing I think i might want is a picture of my baptism to show people

Love elder graham
