洗禮x2:)

well pretty much it is pretty obvious that my favorite part of the week this week was simply that our ward had 2 baptisms this week! one a nice grandma i found back with elder gibson, she is so awesome! pretty much her only problem was coffee she is seriously so dope!! and the other was ying cheng en應承恩 he has been around for a lomng time and a few timers he has come in and out because of work and things like that but he was ready and the time was here! I nearly died he showed up about 7 minutes late, and our ward was really trying to get things moving and i was just like pacing a road into the ground man. But everything went smooth and he is sick!

i'll also be very honest i really am just not feeling like writing that much this week so i love you guys, this week we had the ward activity with like 18 nonmembers come. the kids loved it, we played games, im feeling really happy and im feeling really like just going and punching a wall until the wall itself gets baptized, (thats a good thing) life is good my friends

the gospel is true, baptism is the first step to a long and happy life

shout out to my sister who will be married soon, thanks for the patience i hope something embarrassing happens at your wedding not bad just emabrrassing. just playing i love you tons 

i love my whole family

Yeah… That just happened

So this was pretty fun week, the email head has a couple of meanings. A- biggest miracle ever!!!! so we sat down with this super cool investigator, and were like alright we gotta review like 6 commandments with you, and your date is for this week.... oh boy, and we sit down and with in 5 minutes he was like my date is this week what do i need to do to get baptized. We start sharing commandments and he is just like i know all of these and explains them all to us. So instead we finish the 5th lesson on temples and eternities and stuff, and set his interview. Shows up to his interview and blew through it in like 30 mins or less. He is dope! not only that we moved his baptism back a week to give a little time to prepare. And he is just like no problem when are we meeting to discuss all the logistics? Yeah, we are pumped about this weekend. Also a grandma that i knocked into with my baby is getting baptized this week. Because us elders can only teach men and families and the vice versa for sisters she has been taught by the sisters. So double baptism for our ward this week! and both are totally dope people:)

secondly i'm 20 we ate a muffin and threw water balloons at me on  the roof, and we did the mission it was a good day. Now i am officially old. That is my last birthday on the mission. And i am no longer a "teenager" now i am an adult. so now everyone calls me old. well guess what my companions has already graduated college get off of my back. nah im just playing how ever it was awesome we foound really expensive imported blueberry muffin mix, and made a muffin cake in the rice cooker, and we threw water balloons at showering elders the next couple days it was fun, and usually really, wet all over our floor, luckily its tile:) don't worry dad and mom i learned that much:)

It has been a fun week We had 5 general authorities come to the mission and give us some dope instruction! and they praised us and ouor mission and then encouraged us to go a do. It was lit3erally so dope! they are awesome! we had bishop waddell, he is darn tall!!! and elder cook who was really funny! and lastly we had a few other of the 70 like elder mers and funk and soares. It was an amazing chance to do what we do! I saw everyone because our whole mission got together! so i saw my little child he is such a cutie! and i saw elder facer and zhuang and my hualian friend elder gwilliam and hamilton everyone:) it was good!!

that was our week! love you guys!

I should just tell you this the power behind an apastolic testimony is insane, and when they talk to us missionaries they sometimes go a little different then i have ever heard. Because they all love the work!!! The simple power behind the words and faith he had, and used, was amazing the church is true my friends believe

I'll be Straight


This week was great but i am about to skype the family, so... ya know this is gonna be a pretty lame email! So my companion is great! our whole week was spent with freaking joy and fun and finding and teaching and baptism preparation!

We have a great investigator that is on track for this week or next weeks baptism. I just helped a nice grandma that i found a taught a little bit then handed to the sisters do her baptismal interview! She has changed a lot since march!! I am so excited for her to get baptized!

Our LA homie is doing great he has not missed church in 4 weeks and mets with us 2 times a week, and sometimes just calls us to hangout! He is so legit! He has been really feeling the gospel if he weren't already baptized we would have baptized him a long time ago!

We found a huge spider in our apartment the size of my palm, and so we videod it being murdered by a broom and a taiwanese guy. Then we have also had large cockroaches about the length of my pointer finder and 11/2 of my thumbs wide. we murder them as well, because they are yucky and do bad things to sleeping elders. One time i woke up in the middle of the night and felt something crawling on me, so i popped off my pillow freaking out. After shaking everything out and finding nothing i was like you're just going insane Elder Conover it was nothing. Then Elder Clegg popped off his pillow and did the exact same thing. nope no thanks whatever it was i hope it fell into a lake of fire i want to sleep peacefully thank you. 

We had our LA and best investigator come to church! It was awesome. we will be teaching said people this week again. I want to skype so peace out guys

Love you, Love Heavenly Father, Love Jesus Christ, Love the mission

surprisian (surprise-asian)

Well i will start with this, My baby is a big boy now, and 本地人 #2 is now my compnaion! i could not be more excited! I frreaking love taiwan poeple! So my new companion his name is Elder Lin (林長老) And he is almost 26 years old. he has been on the mission for about 7 months. And he is a cutie. And let me tell you there is nothing like going from training, where all things involving chinese rely on you, to have a native companion who uses way better chinese than you!😂😂 Serious;y the first day we went out to contact people and i felt so dumb trying to keep up in the conversation. The worst is they love to use idioms, which is a small phrase with a story behind it and an over all meaning. Those will get you. But it is a ton of fun still!

So we sent Elder Wadsworth and Elder Gibson off for their new areas. Got my new companion. The poor guy his first day here had to help me teach 20 children english. Man that was crazy! He was like holy cow! this is insane and i was like yeah i know! isn't it fun! Luckily his english is pretty good! We have been out contacting people for m,ost of our week. However we did meet with the 魏wei family. They are pretty freaking awesome! we are working on helping the husband realize that it is time to get baptized! because they are long time ago investigators. The wife is totally down, the husband is a little more slow coming. But he is opening up, I think he is starting to feel that it is time. But he is still a little scared because they've heard it all before so they are trying to take it all together and at the same time. But we just remind them one step at a time. No problem.

Alright this part is so dope! FENGLIN HAD IT'S FIRST BAPTISM!!!!!!!鳳林!!!!我愛你 an old friend Zhu baba got baptized!!! it was so awesome! president let us skype in! and he was like hey guys! (because me and Elder cheney had taught him together and we skyped him together) I'm getting baptized! and he brought his wife and his mom and atleast one of his kids!!! i am so darn excited for them!!! Everything is a good day when things like that happen! Zhu baba is literally such a bomb! he is liie 70 something years old, and the first time we met him, he literally after seeing a small tract and us telling him about our church was just like "wow this stuff is awesome, why dont other churches have this" and from there it grew to "buddhism doesn't make sense you can't make a person into a god, god was before people" man he was literally the best guy ever! love him!

I have wrote enough that was my week it was dope, i am happy fenglin is a great place that is all:) love you mom, dad, and all siblings. EVERYONE do not forget Mother's day! its the best day to serve mama bear! And who doesn't want to show love for their mama!!!

Hey MOM guess what, you're the best i love you and you know that no matter what language i speak i'll never be able to say enough in words to explain it! thanks for everything! You're the best!
