Week 43 Remaining
June 2, 2013
Hey everyone,
We had a great week this
week, besides the heat that came in. Its killer!! Then, of course, yesterday
out AC broke so our house is an oven! I thinks it’s in the 90's but its
feels like 120 with humidity. I just carry around a bath towel with me because I
just get drenched with sweat the minute I step outside. Other news, we had a
small earthquake here. I am not sure how big it actually was but nothing happen
beside our water filter falling over into our sink and breaking a cup. Haha Also
Taiwan and the Philippines had some military conflicts going on or something
that just caused some small drama here.
This week went pretty
good in that we got referred this super golden guy - Zheng. He came to church
yesterday and even took notes. He just really wants to learn and loved coming
to church. I could see him getting baptized this month.
We thought our member referral
investigator from last week was gone because he didn’t answer any of our
calls this week. But then he called us last night and wants to meet again.
We are also trying to
work with the wife of our recent convert - Brother Luo. She is from Burma and can’t
read Chinese or Mian3Dian4Hua4 (Burmanese, if that’s even a language) I am not
sure how to say it in English. She can only read a super rare dialect
language which I don’t even think they have a Book of Mormon in. We'll see what
we can do.
I met this funny student
from BYU yesterday. He is like interning for Google, so he came here to work
for a bit. He knew some members in our ward and came and had dinner with us
yesterday. He served his mission in Canada (speaking Mandarin Chinese) where he
said he mainly interacted with people from China. The member
here said he has a mainland accent and acted like a mainlander. It
was funny because you could tell that they didn’t like that. They can’t stand
the mainland accent or the way mainlanders act lol...
Our investigator thinks
my companion looks like Birdman from the Heat lol There has also been a lot of
missionaries getting hurt out here. Some elder was biking, ran into a tree, and
broke his wrist; another riding his bike, got his leg hit by a car; some elder
got this lung infection and went to the hospital, and the list goes on...but
anyways I’ve been good. No problems!! Transfers
are going to be this week. I’m hoping I stay here.
Love,
Jordan's district
