Well family, hello.This is Elder Graham
Well today is move day. But I'm not moving. Sweet. And everyone thought that my companion would leave. I even wrote him a song because I thought he was leaving. But he didn't. Which I am glad about because I still don't know this place as well as I should.
ummm lets see.
On Wednesday instead of teaching English, this Taiwanese guy taught my companion Spanish while I played "watermelon chess". Its a pretty fun "brain game" and I totally won. And the guy I was play
ing against has been playing since he was a small child.On Monday we went to some daoist temples. Kinda cool
OK so I asked my mission president if it was appropriate to think about what we are going to do when we get home. Because for the most part if you do that everyone says you are a "trunky monkey". But he said I should have a six month plan for after we get home. Any ideas?
Well the Chinese new year is coming up. Everyone gets super excited about it here. Most people get 9 days off from work. Everyone comes back to their hometowns to their oldest living relatives house and has a massive feast. But apparently all the shops will be closed during that time. So all the members are going to feed us. Which is scary. All of the guo nian food is... traditional Taiwanese food ... like fish eyes stuffed in pig brains cooked in cow testicles then barbecued on a fire made out of tires and with chicken heads put on top.
See ya in a few months,
桂長老桂俊杰 Elder Graham
