I have just got to say i love everything about the mission. every area has been just what i needed at the right moment. and flip the east coast is literally just paradise! the area we are in right now is just booming and we are going to be having 4-5 baptisms in our area this week! sooooooo sick!!

as for this last week though it was legit! first off for preparation day we went out down the east coast for an hour drive to go to a super beautiful beach and we last minute got to see a bat cave! super small and not a ton of bats but it was good! we finished it off with a solid watermelon eating contest in which i lost hard core but it was still a ton of fun! when we got home i had Elder Jensen cut my hair… with a little electric shaver and a fork…. and it worked! then the rest of the week up until saturday was just about average 🙂

on saturday we we had our stake meeting and it was so sick! i was able to meet all the members from when i served in taidong and all the members that i had met here in hualian as well as some from taipei that came down it was sooo legit!! seriously it was an amazing way to end the week with a bunch of friends and a great stake meeting. we had a 70 come a speak and the main point was all about member missionary work and really just knowing and understanding our call and responsibility in the church.

super great week but unfortunately i forgot my camera at home today… so i don’t have any pictures from it… my bad! hope you are all doing good!! love you all! 平安!

So this week was great as always! to start off we were able to meet with some of my RCs in gui shan and met a lot of members and had a ton of people give us a lot of food! it was super good 🙂 then we had the english party and that was a blast! we were able to have some investigators come and just had a good time which was so fun! I am going to miss them a lot, i have grown to love this area an the amazing people that i have been able to meet there. life long friends 🙂

then on the next day (Thursday) i was taken to the train station and sent to 花蓮hua lien! seriously so sick! my new companion is Elder Humphries he’s also from Bountiful Utah! oh and for those of you that don’t know that is right back down to the east coast, its the next big city above 台東tai dong. getting sent back to the east coast is not a common thing but i am soooo stoked!!! and now i am actually the zone leader down here which i am so dang stoked for!! this place is so beautiful 🙂 Im picking on to the area and investigators pretty well and im hoping that i will be used to it quickly! we have seen miracles sense being here as well!!

on sunday we started the very first little district meeting in a place called feng lin which is pretty far away from our church building. it was so sick to be there and to be a part of history!! we had a total of 14 people there and it was amazing! then in the afternoon on sunday we went to our normal meetings at the church it was great! love our investigators and the work here!! i will send pictures of all these things 🙂

man…. the gospel is so dang legit!!! as i left gui shan to come be zone leader here i was nervous as all get out. but as soon as i got here i was still super nervous don’t get me wrong but literally when i kept in mind my perpose i saw miracles and its coming along so well!! the work goes on, no matter what. there is nothing that can or will ever stop the work of the lord 🙂

​love you all!
