The Phone Rang -- Oct 30, 2007

Hello!!!

All is well here in danshui!!
we are doing really well here- having alot of fun. the other day we were in church and the phone rang-- my comp elder brown went to go get it and it was some guy--28 or so from the hospital-- he said that he was in the hospital for depression and his friend called him and told him about the joy that has come into his life from the gospel-- so he then gave us a call-- we set up to meet with him and went on monday. we went and it was in the locked down part of the hospital-- had to go threw some tight security show our id and get patted down- then one of those wands to make sure we have no metal on us---- i guess they have some pretty crazy people-- the whole time we wee wondering what this kid was going to be like-- we were kinda freaked out--- we found his room and he jumped out of bed and had a huge smile on his face-- one of the happiest kids iv seen here is taiwan-- he was really good to we taught him a first and he loved it-- hesaid he had a good feeling when his friend called and had the same with us there. i guess visiting hours were over because the guard came in and told us we had to leave so we wernt able to make any solid commitments. then last night he called us and told us he wanted to be baptised!! we are going to go see him again tonight to set a date with him and follow up. we are excited for him- he will be a great member.
yesterday we had a great zone confrence--- we went down to taipei and had it-- it was with 5 other zones-- alot bigger then in taidong with our zone of 15 missionaries only-- the place was packed. it was all on chapter 3 of PMG really good stuff. my favorite part was from the A.P's they talked on the atonment and it was way spiritual really good talk-- it was weired cause half of it was in chinese-- even though i didnt understand everything i knew the truth of it!!.

SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i thought i was just going to have an awesome early christmas!!!! i really enjoyed it- we had christmas songs and everything going- thank you so much i really didnt see any part of it that said not to open it until christmas!. You dont have to worry at all about on the real christmas-- It is huge!!! all the missionaries go to this high school in taipei for the whole day and its a party huge BBq and talent show and football and all other games-- and everyone gets a present from the mission-- ill be okay on christmas-- very happy-from what i here i can call when ever around christmas-- some do it on christmas but most do it like the week around chritmas so when ever you want-- for me the morning after christmas will be christmas evening for you guys er mabey not christmas evening in the states i dont know what time you are in.- but i am sorry that i did it wrong!!! all will be ok all will be fine.

no i have never washed my clothes with darks-- it a little mixture of pollution and sweat that makes em go dark-- you should see the clothes that the old missionaries have--- their bad looking i bleach mine every couple time and ther really arnt that bad right now- ecxept the collers-- those were gone the first week
i dont personally know that elder from new zealand but my comp does- sounds like a good elder- thats cool you ran in to them-- it sounds like you are getting all setteled into your new home and all is going well.

my complexion is good-- ya we eat fruit not as much as in the summer though --this trasfer we are studing about the book of mormon and teaching with the holy ghost-- the president has been calling the mission to repentance for not using the book of morman more-- like in our contancting and on the streets with people-- he shared with us D&C 84:54-58 it really does have so much more power when you share sciptures right on the streets with people and applying it into there lifes. the spirit is always way strong-- alot of people feel it just choice not to act upon it.


anyway-- thank you all for everything i love you so much!!!
-Love elder langford
