Hey Hey Hey im in taidong or taitung there are a couple different ways to spell it but its wonderful-- as far east and south as you can go in the mission--- it is very beautiful down here with the east coast and the huge mountions. i love it!!!
Right now we are just strating a tiafeng (taiphoon) its been raining solid for about a day--- like serious rain and wind that will blow you off your bike!! so we dont ride our bikes to much in it. taidong we hear is sapposed to get the worst of it -wind wise- since taibei is below sea level it usually gets alot of water in the streets and stuff but thats just what we hear-- this is elder marbles first also.
We are still working with 3 solid investigators lin jia yi , ye di xiong,and zhang zhao rong Lin and zhong will be baptised on the 18 both of them are so excited and very prepared for baptism-- Zhang has a family who is coming to the baptism so hopfully we can start with them!
the food here is great-- we always go to this one place that has been here for like 30 years little old 3ft grandma and her husband-- really good food- i like the curry they make but they have alot of other stuff-- with our my companion i would for sure starve to death-- i wouldent be able to read any of the menus.
we get fruit drinks alot-- soooooo good - kinda like a slerpy but they grind up the real fruits ang put ice in em and man its good--- mangos the best!
Most of our contacting is on the streets riding bikes around and stopping people-- most of just say meiyou kong which means no time or they say buyong which is dont need but them we teach them a bit and try to get them to have a little bit of intrest-
when it rain and blows we usually tract houses-- because nobody is out side or they are running away from the acid rain that is going to make us loose our hair-- alot of times people will set up but just wont come-- they are just to nice to say no on the spot-- then we lose more time when we wait for em so thats no good at all.
the weather has been really good with the rain-- its not hot-- we love it about 25 to its real nice-- i have no idea what that is in normal temp.
party at the house-- that sounds so fun-- so the water feature is working again- that is grand.. And lori is home from her mission-- how many fingers does she have-- didnt she cut em off er something-- that would make it harder to carry book of mormans!! i remember she had the goal to hand out a book of morman ever day of her mission--- did she do it?? we only get like 10 or 15 a month so that would be hard for us.
every night we are dead tired-- we ride our bikes like 20 a day i bet-- we just die and fall into bed-- sleep sound all night-- we get up at 6:00 go excercise- about 2 mile run on a track next to our house- and come back get ready eat our oatmeal and study chinese-- 8 is personal study-9 in comp. study- 10 is chinese study- 10:30 we leave.--- wow that just scared me-- i erased the whole message and hada heart attack-- thank goodness for undo buttons right---- anyways- we get lunch and dinner at little stands are resturants- i try not to spend over 60 which is like ummm 1.70 american money-- so not to bad eh - sometime throughout the day i get an extra hour of study-- and that is only during my first transfer.
hey we sold a griddle!! yah!! fun fun so your leaving for a year eh?? that is grand sound like alot of fun-- can i come?? so what are you going to do with the house just board it up for a year or what? that sound like a fun oppertunity.
Well the other day president came down-- which is really rare he only comes down ever couple transfers and we had interviews with him. He is the greatest guy ever-the other day he had a dream my companion got hurt so he called us early that mourning to check on us- he is just really nice. he bought our whole district lunch and then we had district meeting. we also got our appt. inspected and we got called to repentence for that!!-- no just kiddin--- our appt. is soo clean.
well im going to send this early so i dont lose it again i love you all thank you for your prayers we can feel them-- our whole mission right now has 87 people in the baptisimal pool so we are doing very well our zone alone has 20 of em cool huh!!
- Love Elder langford
