(Ellyn was having email issues, so I am forwarding this week's letter)
I would call it a solid week this week! Well, at least a not-too-bad week. We were so happy that Jill was baptized last week, but now it suddenly seems like we don't have any investigators to work with. But that's okay, we are going to go find new people and invite them to be baptized and it's going to be great. Oh wait we do have one awesome girl named Monica who is one of our English students and is willign to try praying and reading and she is making progress. It's so cool to be able to share with someone that they can pray to their Heavenly Father and the next time you talk to them hear them say that prayer gave them a really happy feeling. Yeah it does!
Hmm other things this week. The area we live in has a lot of factories and the other day we saw a lot of smoke coming from a couple blocks away from the church. We kind of just stood there and looked for a little while but then a member who was meeting with us came in and said "We have to get out right now, that's a toxic chemical fire!" so we left and biked a little farther away (I wasn't sure if going outside was safer than staying inside or not...) and eventually got where we didn't smell smoke anymore and then it cleared up pretty fast and in conclusion I'm not dead yet.
It's pretty much 85-90 degrees like every day now but I actually don't mind very much. I'm probably going to mind a little more in July. Hey wait I just remembered there's a cake store called 85 degrees. I should get some cake on a day when it is that temperature. It's super humid and our study room does not have an air conditioner but we're surviving. You know what, I actually do love it. I'm really not much of a summer person but I really am just so happy to be here in Taiwan and speaking Chinese and helping people find the gospel that it just doesn't matter that much to me.
Well, in all honestly I can't think of much else to say. There was a Buddhist parade the other day. We go to this one Teppanyaki place so often that the workers are our friends (and made sure we didn't drink the black tea). My companion is super awesome and willing to talk even though Chinese is hard. I was able to read three whole sentences in Chinese this morning where I only didn't know one character. Life is good!
Love you all!
