This is Elder Graham. I am going to apologize right now. I left my camera in a member's car and I won't get it back until today, so no new pictures for you guys this week. Sad day.
But anyway, this week was good. Cold. But good. I got my birthday package, thank you! Garments are a missionaries best gift. Well not much is going on here. Still working with the branch to find some people to teach. I must say I love my companion because he is super... Innocent. Super funny. I laugh all the time. And super geeky like me. But he is more of a programming nerd. Anyway. Today we will be going to a Christian book store and buying some sweet bibles with both English and Chinese. So legit. That's my birthday present to myself. The word of God.
So I'm going to tell a story. Don't get mad, mom. OK so we went to one of the farthest parts of my area (a place my companion has never been to before) to visit a less active. And this place is sooo not the city. It doesn't even have road names. Like there are roads. But they aren't names. There are just villages. Which means that you just kinda get in the area, then you ask a local and hopefully they know who the person is that you are trying to find. So we go to the village and the first person that we meet speaks fluent Spanish because he lived in Argentina for ten years. Which was funny because he wanted to teach us Spanish. But anyway, he showed us to the less actives house and they weren't home. Then we showed him the address of the former investigator we were trying to find. he said it was really far away. So he gave us a ride. Yup I rode in a strangers car. but you can't be mad cuz its like the 5th time I've done that on my mission. The place really was super far away. And the former was actually home. And we needed him to help us translate from Taiwanese to Chinese (then he would use Spanis
h..). So it was all good. Then he bought us dong gua cha. yummy. Then he took us back to our bikes and we went back to the church to teach English.OK that's the story for today.
Yes pops it has gone by way fast. I don't know what plans to make for 2012. I'm not supposed to really be thinking about home and getting trunky. I don't want to get trunky. trunky monkeys are always the sad missionaries.
That is not fun at all that there is no SNOW! zenme ban?
See ya in a few months,
