Christmas Time

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweee yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah its a good christmas and not very white.... but it is actually super white!!!! We started the #whitechristmas around here. People getting baptized everywhere!!! Its the best Christmas ever!!!

anyway, i have had a great week, we had exchanges and fun and games. But what i want to say to everyone is to just think about what it means to have christmas. Because, i can tell you they don't really celebrate christmas here. But it reminds me all the more of what ts for. Even our church members need to reminded its not about what we do but rather why we do it! I sure love every one that i can talk to, and everyone on this list. I just want to say Christmas is the best time of year because it is truly a sacred time of year all over the world, no matter what religion you are. Its a time of remembrance and preparation. Improvement and service. 

love as he did. i love all of you!

we had a christmas concert and it was legendary!

Choirs and Carols

This week has been pretty awesome! so we have been doing a big choir thing lately, we do it every year. But it is so fun! we travel around with a ton is missionaries and perform for different things and then we can just talk yo everyone that attends! it's creates a great face for our church and helps people see us and give them an opportunity to interact with us. and we have a ton of fun singing Christmas songs!

We have also been doing Carrefour caroling. a large grocery business all over the island has partnered with us and they have groups of us go.around and Carol in their store with speakers and music. It is so fun. we have seen tons of success from it! What we did is we made our own little info card, and then we kind of just put a QR code on it, to have people scan and they can ask us (literally me and my comp) questions through line, and we can invite them to activities and to meet the missionaries. After 5 stores have done this we have over 100 people on this line and several people are met and set up through this activity!!! SO fun!

Also i had some super fun exchanges this week like with good old Elder Heaton, and ELder kleine and Elder Bird! man it was so fun! also the weather has  gone from summer to winter and back 2 times and we are back to winter witht he rain. IT IS COLD..... i dont like it!!!! psych it is so fun!!!! we wear sweasters all day long now a days! and we get to do a ton of fun stuff!

It’s all over now folks

Man this week has been crazy! We saw so much happen this week, we had 2 times where we had extra missionaries sleep with us, and we saw them off around 5AM, we had the new missionaries come in finally! A week late, they slept with us, and we were up witht hem around 5AM again, and within 48 hours we had a follow up meeting with half-way trainers, we had district leader training, welcomed the new missionaries, did welcome things with them and then we also held MLC, and then hwe had exchanges with some of my good friends!!! This week has been crazy!

So i had the chance to be with Elder Kaufusi and Jorgensen on exchanges, I spent it with Elder Kaufusi, he is such a good guy! we had a ton of fun! and I was so impressed with his work ethic and focus on finding and helping families into the gospel! WE had the chance to really go and do the missionary work and it felt so good with him! HE is quiet but dedicated, and isn't afraid to open his mouth! I love that guy!

I think we are past the "busy season" though so i think we are ready to rumble for this transfer. Elder Walters is so fun to be with! I am also so thankful for him! HE does such a good job at finding important tasks to do and then completing them! Its so nice, i can trust that he will finish anything he starts, and I know if he ever needs help, he will ask It's so fun with him!

Hey guess what! I love all of you!

New Companion!

Alright, so I got a new comp I will greatly miss Elder Johnson he was awesome! but now I got Elder Walters, who is only 6 weeks below me, he is awesome! He comes from the town of Las Vegas, and is one of the best pianists ever! he is super legit! He has been down on the east coast for a while, but now he had come back around to help me out! We have had some fun stories already because we both love to tell stories so we have been sharing the stories of our lives! he is hilarious!

So this week, we had a sweet PdAY out at elephant nose mountain, on the coast of keelung. Which was super sweet! we had a member take us out there and it was crazy fun we hung out with elder Jensen and Giordano, and the office elders there were a few sisters that came but mostly we had a couple elders. We found a little bunker outlook and climbed Inside that, and hiked up to the highest point nearby and it was beautiful. the members were so awesome!

so we had my new comp show up a day early and got him on Wednesday, but then we ended up having some serious problems on transfers, the number one thing was the babies didn't come! so we have trios all over right now! hahaha but the rest of everything went super smooth! Luckily everyone had a smooth sailing trip. we still don't know when the new missionaries are coming... oh no! 

We have had the chance these first couple days together to be fairly busy we have had things to do so far and have been truly enjoying it. though we had a frustrating sunday, we had soooo many people sleep in and cancel on us, I was sooo sad! But then we also heard from one of our awesome investigator  who just got back to Taiwan, that they have been having second thoughts the last few weeks(they've been gone) so we just need to see them. but they made the member friend nearly cry with disappointment so I felt super bad, but we told them both no problem we are gonna take care of it!

great week! Love all of you! -Elder Conover c
