I am a dad

WOW! I had a crazy week guys! For starters i have a baby now, and i moved to a new area. #whitewash (thats what that means you and your comp come into an area at the same time) That makes 2 in a row so far. At the beginning of the week we played moving madness which is a game where every missionary in your district guesses what is about to happen. Only one person thought i was moving. And for the record they guessed the place wrong. However past companions and other missionary friends called it. They told me the last little while I'd train and leave 鳳林 FengLin. 

I'm crazy sad to move, we started seeing some really cool success especially lately but i have full confidence in My old companion.:) So i went from the most rural area in our mission to a very city place that last year around august formed a ward. So very new area. It is in the south of New Taipei city. It is called BiTan 碧潭!! It has been nice to see people again. It is kind of wierd i have to re teach myself and my trainee how to street coontact...😂

This area is already incredible, it has had a little bit of struggles the past little bit, trying to get off the ground. But i have already met with a few members here, and gone around on the streets trying to learn my area and there is so much potential here!!! Our Bishop told us the biggest challenge in the ward is that no one knows how to do missionary work, but they are all willing to. Our Ward Mission Leader showed us some super solid plans for different phases of working between missionaries and members! I am crazy excited to be here!

NEW COMPANION--- Solid super chill man from Kaysville, Utah. He already is super solid with chinese. And has incredible desire to improve. His name is Elder Gibson. He is a little quiter but super funny! He is already doing a great job at being willing to try everything! It has been a fun move. We now live in a four-man apartment with the zone leaders. And I currently ride a tire with a completely flat tire because i don't want to fix it and mine should be here soon, and our area is tiny anyway!:) 

Last fun story, as we were trying to find out where our bishop lives, we didn't have bikes at that time. But we leaves about 10-15 minute bus ride away, so about 3 ish kilometers away. And he told us what bus to take and where to get off, however since i didn't know a single thing about our area, we got on the right bus wrong direction... However luckily before we got too far there was a stop that looked like the exact stop we needed, so we jumped off, in the other side of our area. So after some problem solving and question asking a lady helped us know where to go, jumped on the right bus right direction, and then she gave us the wrong stop to get off.... So we ran about 2 kilometers or so to our bishops house, and it took about 1 1/2 hours to get there. (about 10-15 minute bike) I love not knowing anything.

Love you guys a whole silly large amount.  -孔杰叡長老
