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
