Hey This is Joey!!I Leave Tomorrow!!!! at about 10 we leave the Mtc and i will call from both airports Saltlake And LA. We have just beeen packing and getting ready-- today is also our last sauna!! Thats sad-- we had that thing cooking!Well On saturday i walked into the room that we were going to teach in and there was this lady talking on the phone-- i said to myself--- self i bet she is on the phone with your mom. It was fun-- we taught the Plan of Salvation to her-- i felt it went well the spirit was strong and we tried to let the spirit testify to her of the truthfulness of our message--- mom we committed her to read in the Book Of Mormon 2 nephi 2 and 3 nephi eleven make sure you follow up with her and see how it went--- if we dont follow up it was all waisted! We talked about the promise in Moroni 10:3-5 and committed her to pray.- we could understand some of what she said- she talked fast!!! and luckly she understood most of what we said which was encouraging for us-- main land china and taiwan saw some things different and we had to adjust to those--- i have felt like i hsave done well learning the language here-- we can do alot of stuff and teach in our own words lessons 1 2 3Hopefully good comes of it is was fun to be able to teach her. We were a little nervous becasue it was a real investigator well kindof Some other elders that we talked to that taght her the first vision said it went well but she was playing the part of a non christian like she was supposed to but we kinda wanted to just teach her. That said the spirit was there-- i dont know what commitments they gave her, she might know.Well its been a good 12 weeks in the MtC alot of people say they hated the mtc but i loved it--- i guess in comparison to what the field might be like it probably is bad but the worst part was the same not that great food.
The name Long Zhong Lao--- Long Is Translated to dragon but it was selected for how close it is to my last name-- but it still means dragon so i like it alot--- Zhong Lao is elder Pronounced jong Lao My full name is Long yi de 2 4 2 tones de with 2 tone means kind and virtuous and a couple other things--- so im a kind dragon--- i like it!!! First names are always chosen for what the parents want their children to become-- they are very personal and usually will never know someones first name. Our teachers after teaching us for twelve weeks choose these names for us.
Well because of the scripture dissaster i needed to buy new scriptuers and case--- new socks and befor i knew i could take my close just to missionary mall i took em to the dry cleaners and they charged an arm and a leg and also made my pants two tone and mostly see threw so the was a waist of money and i still had to pay for it all-- Ill probably need to take out some money just for my bike and food while traveling. My Jazz shirt-- i guess becaue of the material came out of the scripters real nice-- my sweats are itchy and whitish but i dont where them that often--- socks and slacks only real dissaster
Thank you all for everything i love you all!!. Sounds like the grills and coming along Love Elder Langford
