This week has been so great! We had our temple session this past week, it so great to be able and go into the temple and just feel the peace and serenity. It gave me that extra boost to get back out there and work hard! This week we were able to have a FHE (Family Home Evening) with our Chinese branch president and his family and two of our investigators were able to come! Those two investigators are so fun! It is two younger sisters, one is 12 and the other 11, there mom is a member but was less active for a little while. Anyway, the 12 year old, she already attends the high school for her math class! She and her sister are so smart, they showed us how each of them can solve a Rubik's cube in under a minute, it was pretty cool to see. The English class we teach each week is so good! I love talking to all of the students and being able to help them speak English, at the same time they teach me mandarin Chinese and Taiwanese ;), I have picked up a tiny bit of Taiwanese since I have been out, it such a crazy language, I love it :). This week we were also able to get back in touch with one of our other investigators named Angela. She is not Chinese actually, nor does she speak Chinese hah but she just recently went to China and adopted a baby and she wants her baby to grow up with both cultures so she wants her daughter to grow up in the Chinese Branch. Angela is not a member but her mom was before she died and Angela figured "Well, if I want my daughter to grow up in that good of a church, I might as well be a part of it as well". Angela's husband is a CEO of a medical company of some sort so when we went to their house to help them move some furniture around, their house was probably one of the nicest I have set foot in!
Oh and this week as Elder Kim and I were driving to go pick up some other elders I stopped at a left turn light because it turned red and the girl behind us wasn't paying attention and bent down to mess with her air conditioner and rear ended our car...haha boy that was fun figuring out all the info that I had to get and then taking the car to get an estimate and then filling out an accident report. BUT it wasn't my fault so at least I don't have to worry as much. It wasn't that bad, so you don't have to worry mom ;). This week we had a huge branch activity, it was a Hawaiian Lu'au. Elder Kim and I invited over 40 people to come and they all did! They had an amazing dinner and professional dancers come and perform. It was such a huge success, we had over 40 non-members come and almost all of them were Chinese!! So we have a lot of people we were able to talk to and set times up that we could come and talk to them some more! I guess one last thing is that I have finished my Mormon.org profile!! Please go look at it! It is 'Mormon.org/me/4y9b'
I love you all! Until next week!!
