So heres whats up with me this week. We were part of this weird little trial thingy and they had us go on a bus to this place that was only like 5 minutes away and we watched a conference talk in this room that was inside a wierd bubble building thingy. i think they were trying out new rooms or something so they could make the mtc better or something im not sure but it was a super good talk thats for sure! 🙂

Part two, we were supposed to get our travel plans this last friday but we didn’t… but we heard today that we are going to be getting our reassingnments on thursday this week so ill let you know where im going state side before my visa comes! to be honest im a little disapointed that im not going straight to taiwan but its all good i know that wherever i end up going ill learn a lot and ill just serve them the best i can!

Other than that i really don’t think anything note worthy happened… i learned more chinese and my testimony grows daily. ive grown to love everyone that is in my district and itll be hard to move on but at the same time im ready to go out and help out the best i can 🙂 till next week!!

some of me with greg before he left….

others of just good times and my district 🙂

Hey everyone!

Sorry i missed out last week! its crazy hard to get all the writing done in the time that i have to do it in but its all good! so its definitely a different experience being here in the south! im actually here in Dyersburg Tennessee, so not little rock but im in the little rock arkansas mission so thats crazy its a huge mission! anyway the people here are so different and everyone believes in christianity and all that but they really just have these views that i haven’t ever thought of its giving me a whole new perspective on this gospel! its hard to get through to some of them but really they are all really nice people! Dont get me wrong i really do wish i could go to taiwan and actually speak chinese daily but where im at is great now, its a great place and i love the people ive gotten to meet and teach 🙂 Even though its hard and they all have different views, ive learned here more than ever that the apostasy really did happen and this church has it all, its all we need and i know thats very important 🙂 Love you all and hope everything is going good back home! Keep me updated on whats happening there.

Hey all!

So this week to be completely honest nothing super crazy happened. we finished off all the grammar principles that they teach here so that was exciting i guess! i still can’t seem to form my chinese sentences in the right way so my investigators look at me funny a lot of the time.. haha 🙂

This week we got a new district which was cool! that officially makes us the grandfather district and makes me want to leave and get out of here even more! but its all good i know that i need to learn to form my thoughts better in chinese so bring on the last two weeks or so! My companions are awesome i couldn’t have asked for better companions! we continue to build our teaching abilities and its awesome to finally get into a better flow and learn how to do this whole mission thing 🙂

I hope you are all doing good this week and keep me updated on at least some of the things youre doing! Last thing before i wrap this up, I had one of those “freak the book of Mormon is amazing” moments. it wasn’t anything super crazy but i was just reading and things just made sense and i was like ……wow…. haha anyway its not some super crazy inspiring story but i hope that you all can have some kind of experience that i have had here even though youre not on missions or anything! 🙂

Love you all!

so its been an awesome week! One of my teachers actually got engaged on tuesday and that was really cool! The MTC is still really great but i am so ready to get out of here because its ju st the same things over and over again but its still a fun time so thats good! i met this girl this week too who is actually grandma miners granddaughter [Caitlin Carlisle, Ed and Tiffany’s daughter] it was super crazy! she recognized me from the pictures that grandpa has in their basement of all the missionary family members they have out! ive had an awesome day and week! so the two pictures with me and those other sisters, the one right next to me in the pink is grandmas granddaughter! the rest is just random pictures throughout the week 🙂 love you all!
