35 Weeks Remaining-July 28, 2013

你們好
The highlight of this week was probably when we went out to the east coast of Taiwan.
It was so weird because I haven't left Taipei since last September when I got transferred
here. I felt like I was in Idaho or something! There were fields, trees, and I could
actually see the sky lol. The ward activity was cool. They bused us up to a mountain
where we walked around and boiled eggs in a hot spring. We had 2 investigators come
with us...
Other stuff that went on this week:
We were tracting and met this 15 year old young man who we taught at his front door
and gave him a Book of Mormon.
We had a crazy visit with an active member. We walked into his house and he's like,
"hey you are probably thirsty, so I bought you some coffee." I laughed and thought he
was kidding but he was for real and pulled us out some coffee. We were like, "huh?"
"We don't drink coffee remember?" He was like, "Oh yeah." Then he puts it away. I am
not sure what was up there...
Also this week, we had a training meeting with a few zones. Before the meeting at our
apartment, we were getting ready to go, when I got a text from President saying that he
was really sick. He couldn't barely speak or get out of bed. So he wanted me to run the
meeting - get elders to setup tables and chairs, to pick the hymns and people to do
prayers, lead music, play piano, and then he wanted me conduct the training meeting. It
end up going smoothly. His wife came and did most of the training so it was all good...
That is the scoop out here. My son (the missionary I am training) is doing good. He is
just about as lost and confused as I was when I got here... haha

Love,
Elder Chatman
