September 18, 2016 KAAAAAAAAAAOOO ROU! (BBQ)

well this week was mid autumn festival... it is celebrated similar to the 4th for america. mostly just that every one is kao rou'ing and being that everyone is crazy dope in taiwan they just give you just as you ride by! so we had a member qing us kao rou, then we had a member's family qing us, their granddaughter  is in australia i met her in the MTC, they aren't members she set up with the sisters last night! and we got kao rou non the street especially nice when you wanna set people up! they give you food and a phone number and sometimes a time. and then they tell us xinku ni de (man you guys are crazy hardworking) its a great time!

so aside from that this week was pretty fun we had 2 and 1/2 days of straight heavy rain. we had lessons luckily jk they all said no because of the typhoon... we were outside all day man i love taiwan! so we had 3 days of try find people or call people with very little results due to the typhoon people really dont like to talk aside from jia you(good luck) and xin ku(i feel that bruh) however we have pretty muched reset this entire area now all but 2 investigators are gone. our phone broke so we had to get a new one... no formers, potentials, members, investigators, less actives. all is gone and we cant switch because the other phone cant turn on... hehehe 🙆 

also the whole poke pocalypse we are preparing a new one. a bigger one. we have bought an excersize ball, spray paint and are currently in painting stage.:) if i could explain how fun it was to hand pump an exercsize ball with the tiny pump they included i would. it took about 30 minutes to pump up:) now it is all on my artistic ability.. anyone who knows me knows i am not artistically talented, but i have faith that if we do it late enough and move the ball really fast all of their eyes are already squinting so i think they wont notice:)😂😂🐒

This week i was reading in luke 6:45(this may be wrong i dont have my planner) and it made me really start to think about me before the mission. when i started high school the thing was to greet friends with a simple silly insult "sup ya animal" and other such things. near the end of sophmore year i made a goal to only use compliments and to notice something about every friend. and also to give five random people compliments to make them smile. at first i would do it to people that were already happy, but as it became easier to do i would aim for the out skirts, and people that seemed like they needed it. and pretty soon nobody referred to me as filthy animal or anything like that. and by the end of senior year i would walk through the halls and random people that i barely knew would say hi to me. and i noticed that all my friends used compliments as well. i will not take credit for this, i believe that many had the same feelings and just changed anyway from growing up. however i know that this is scripture is true. what comes in is nothing, but what you let leave you your actions, thoughts, words, anything outward i hope that it testifies of who you want to be. because how you express yourself is who you are. i recommend that every looks at what they do it might suprise you how easy it is to see you aren't who you thought you were. worry not what is brought unto to you, rather take care what you allow to show unto others.

I LOVE YOU ALL ELDER CONOVER
