November 6, 2011 - Rudi got baptized

Hello family,
So this week we had a mission conference with Elder Gong. He is ABC. And his wife is American. Anyway, it was a really good conference. I learned a lot.
I have sent the picture of Rudi before, but I found out that he got baptized after I left. So I am sending it again.

We were supposed to go to the temple this week but it ended up not happening. We will go next move call. If I am still here in the north...
I do get headaches sometimes. But I still have plenty of medicine from when I first went into the MTC.
I think you guys will be getting a letter in the mail saying something to the effect of "your missionary only has a few months left... encourage him/her to keep doing their best... what airport do you want him/her to fly into" etc. I heard that those get sent out on my 13th move call.
Kami. Guess what. In Taiwan there is a building that is 101 (taibei) stories high. And another one that is 85 (gaoxiong). Just so you know.

So this week... The Li family didn't answer their phone for a few days. Which scared me. But then on Thursday they finally answered. They weren't answering because li jiemei was in the hospital for some kind of surgery. And li di xiong was working extra hours. But they are doing fine now. Unfortunately we had to push back their goal because we still have a lot of things to teach them even though they have been to church plenty of times. They are really excited for their baptism on the 19th. On that day, our ward is having "missionary day" and them being baptized is a perfect ending to a day of being a member missionary. So that should be a good experience for the Li family, us and the ward!

We have another investigator that is kinda... different. Like he can read and comprehend everything we teach and he keeps all of his commitments. But I can't tell if he has a really really really bad social disorder, or if it is a mental problem. I really want to help him. So we will keep meeting with him and helping him come unto Christ. If it comes to the point of him wanting to be baptized then we might have to get him into a second interview.

I didn't get the deodorant yet... And I don't think I need anything else. And I don't really need anything for Christmas either. Just save the money for when I get home.

Oh yeah. And today we are going to a place that is all you can eat. for 12 bucks. Its really nice. It has all you can eat Haggen daz ice cream. I don't know how to spell that. But it is the very best ice cream in the world. It has all the meats and sea food and drinks and anything else you could want. Soooooo gooooood

Love
THE Elder Graham
