who is Elmer? -- Mar. 12th 2008

Hey Mum and Dad
how are you!!!
im Glad you got your gift!! Thank you so much for mine it was great- my birthday was really good i enjoyed it-- the day befor we made a cake we had in district meeting so we have had fun. ya that scroll i sent might be a little harder to read just becuse it is more of a art then writing characters but natives should be able to read it.

this past week has been preetty good-- our brither xu is getting alot of family opposition to him coming to church so it is really hard for him- he knows the truthfullness of the gospel and a great testamony of it. last time we couldent meet in his out so we went and found a little pash of weeds and sat on the ground. he has alot of faith we are just praying he will find away to come to church. then we have a brother wang-- a really nice kid about 25- really humble and was working on his personal testamony- we would have been baptised next trasfer for sure cause he has felt the spirit and knows it is good. But in taiwan their is a required army service that called for him-- so he is leaving in about 2 weeks to got in millitary for about 11 months-- well have to get him after. hopefull ill still be in yinge-- but probably not.

we juast added a sister lai into our baptisimal pool for the 12 or so thats a funny one-- we had a whole first lesson and we thought she was a guy-- looked like a guy sounded like a guy-- she is a bit chubbyier and was wearing really loose clothing-- i feel bad know-- after we got home she called us and was like-- ummm.. im a girl -- my comp didnt belive me-- he thought we was lieing to him. soo ya-- we might give her to the sisters. how we got the 202 lessons?? Prayed alot for one- we couldent do that with out gods help--- set the goal for it-- our goal was 200 and 60 book of
mormans be exceeded both of them-- sacraficed-- we all picked something to sacrafice for the week that we love!!-- i sacraficed pudding bread-- i love pudding bread and it was hard-- i had withdrawls!! sacrafice time-- we left the house a half hour early came home a half an hour later and all our meals we an eat and run--Pray even more-- hourly or more. then setting little goals throughout the day for contacting sessions-- like how many lessons we wanted.-- our zone saw a ton of miricals that week and are still teaching lots of those people. to bad i moved but as long as they all get baptised. we were reallly tired at the end out that week-- that week was also the time i wanted to finish the 3000---in those 7 day i woke up at 5:00 to study-- i memorized 1400 characters and finished--- you can always see gods had in every aspect of the work-- we alone couldent of done near that will out gods help. i would probably still be working on the 3000 characters and not doing very well on them if god wasent helping me. God is a cool guy!!

im glad all is going well for you in new zealand-- im telling all my friends you are a trainer-- they think that is awesome!!
love you-- Elmer langford
