Taught a 1st to Brothe Gong-- Dec. 19th 2007
hey --how are ya all doing-- everything here is not to shabby-- elder bingham and i are doing well togeather-- and when he runs those 5 miles oh man he runs fast-- no way i could ever keep up with him-- he gets me up at 5:45 everyday to go out and run Elderbingham is a good missionary-- im on exchanges with elder nichol-- we were in the same room togeather in the mtc-- he has scabies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im being carefull though--- he couldent go to the temple today and his comp and to go to taibie so i get to play with him today!!
well the work is still pressing forward-- we had a first lesson yesterday with a brothe gong-- really nice kid-- is christian and likes the message-- he will need a little pushing but im sure he will come around-- the lesson went well- i didnt really get to say much but elder bingham did a good job--- hongjia long has had some depression problems and couldent come to church--- so we had to push his baptism back 1 week--- he did pass his interview and has a really strong testamony-- thats just what we get for pulling someone out of the pshyc ward- his depression gets to him then he takes pills and sleeps for a couple days.
we havent had anyone else really to work with-- we found one really good kid the other day that set a baptisimal date but he is the other elders because of where he lives. just out looking for people everyday. we just need to keep the faith that one of the idol worshipers want the fullness of the gosple. as a way of expecting miricals our zone has asked us to ask 3 people every day to be baptised-- some others have had success and we will to-- just not yet.
you killed a pig!!!!! thats funny--- BACON we have some pigs around here to.-- the are pets just like dogs. the call wise-- my number is (02)26186004 ummm country code-- i dont know what that is-- if you have called the mission office i imagin its the same-- i have interviews with pres coming up so i will ask him and let you know--
what is a number i might be able to get a hold of you at just in case????? and ummm how about the 24th at 11:00am in the mourning my time-- so thats like 4:00pm your time--- and we will be home all mourning because of mourning studys so you can call and confirm
they are keeping all packages at the mission office so i have no way of knowing until christmas-- but thank you so much!!
well thats all for now-- I love you guys-----Elder langford

hong jia long -- Dec. 11th 2007
Hey
It is december!!!!! how crazy is that-- time goes so fast!!!
Well all is well here in danshui everything is still going well.
Our investigator hong jia long is doing awesome!! he is really good-- last night we had a lesson with him and he was worried about baptism cause he forgets alot about what drinks he can drink and what drinks he cant-- its really hard to avoid tea over here in taiwan. he said that baptism is really sacred and he dosent want to mess up after baptism-- he still has two weeks so he will be fine-- on thursday we asked him how his smoking was going cause i noticed a pack in his pocket-- we committed him to stop--cause he only smokes like 3 a day-- and invited him to give us his pack. he wouldent give it to us-- i was kinda sad he wouldent and confused weather he really understood the commandment--- then at church on sunday i was talking to him about it and he said he just wanted to finish the pack- i bore my testamony to him about the commandment and promised him blessings if he would give it up right then-- and he gave me the pack!! so happy.. and since he hasent bought any-- he put a little mp3 player in his pocket where he keeps his pack usually so when he reaches for a smoke he just listens to music-- and he says that helps him not need it.
he is a great guy and will be a good friend through out my mission.
So i can call--or you call me--on the 24 or 26 (our time)from our place in danshui-- i dont know the time difference- my comp is doing his the mourning of the 26- just when ever is good for you guys will be fine-- i dont know if i can call brothers and sisters or not-- i need to find pres. and ask him
well i love you guys-- my comp wants to go run 5 miles to i just ride my bike next to him-- he is crazy!!! but he is fun-- we get along really well togeather--- i have to get back to you mom about the whole aaron thing--- i have to look at it.--- umm i love you all thanks for everything-- Love Elder Langford
