Hey
how is everthing!!-- sounds like all is great their in new zealand- lots of fun sailing and stuff- crazy all is good here still working hard and trucking along-- hey tip of the day-- never get camo wallet-- like the army colors green black and whatever-- cause you lose it and people find it and then thy dont know they found it cause it bleands into the bottom of their lost and found.
ya i got my wallet back--- the like 4th time we went to the restraunt they finnally gave it to us about 5 days after i lost it -- it is a great blessing-- to bad we cancled eveything already--- oh well.
the other day we made a goal to add some into the baptisimal pool on the street cause we are not teaching anyone right now-- and we did. a great guy-- had a wonderful lesson about joseph smith for about 10 min. on the side of the road and gave him a baptisimal date-- we are meeting with him tomorrow again so hopefully it will be good- we also found some others that are good so we are hoping one or two will come all the way.
chinese charachters are so cool-- they all have so many cool meanings-- i have a goal to do the 3000 most common in this transfer-- so thats about 500 a week-- its hard somtimes but its fun-- everyday i review about 500 and do what i need yo do finish the 5000 for the week. today-(p-day) i did 125 in about 3 hours-- lots of fun--- and you see the gifts of god so apparent-- i mean come on-- i do really learn that fast-- - but i set a goal for a time period and say a prayer for him to help me and he does-- so good- i love being a missionary.
well all is great thak you all so much-- i love you

Planting many Seeds -- Jan. 7th 2008
hello mom and dad
All is still real great here in danshui--i am in danshui again with elder bingham for another 6 weeks-- so should be good-- we are just trying to find people to teach now it was a really dry week last week -- we got over 100 lessons and hardly anyone set up -- we just need to keep the faith and find someone who wants to be baptised.
the other elders just had a baptism last week-- he is way solid and now his little brother in lookin at the church too. the sisters have some coming up also.
so im starting the characters this transfer-- i have a set of 3000 flashcards that i will be learning-- the 3000 most common characters-- then a person can read 90 or so % of characters seen on the street and in media. i am doin 36 a day and will finish in two transfers.hopefully-- if my brain can take it- i started two days early and have about 200 down already.
the next p-day is next wed. so about a week and a half. i love you all-- it sounds like everything is going so great-- so what are the chances of me coming home to newzealand?? i hear it is a fun place.
- Love Elder Joey

Hey!!!
it sounds like you hasd a wonderful christmas!!!
all is really well in danshui-- this is the last week of the transfer and it is winter!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh man sooooo cold--- iv never felt 40 feel so cold but the humidity and wind just suck your life away--- i where gloves and hat and helmet and a sweater and coat and im ok but what is this-- im in taiwan-- hot all year round right???? no!! plus i started in hot taidong and that really thinned out my blood.
well hong jia longs baptisim was really good-- our porta folt almost didnt make it--- water all over the room cause when he went down the water came out--- empted half the font-- but that not to much cause the porta font is so small.
well this week has gone well so far--- its power week being the end of the transfer--- in the past their has been patterens in the numbers at different stages in the transfers and the 6th week seems to always be the lowest-- so Elder marble and Tarver(our zone leaders ) are having do a big week to finish it off. monday we got 31 lessons-- tuesday we got 20-- we have already gottten higher then we need for the week but were still going!! its fun-- and really tireing-- we are dead every day--- to do it they have cut out our chinese study and all out meals in half so we have about 13 extra hours this week of prosaliting. but you feel good at the end of the day knowing we gave it our all.
so when i went done with elder zhao last trasfer on exchanges we set up two guys on the street for baptisim---- and they were both just baptised--- how cool is that--
anyways-- thanks for all-i love you guys-- ill be e-mailing again on monday cause of the end of the transfer-- Love Elder Langford
