Sorry for being MIA , we had a mission conference yesterday (Yes, the ENTIRE mission got together, it was very exciting!) with the Asia Area Presidency.  It was the most powerful meeting I have ever attended.  Listening to Elder Evans counsel us missionaries about how to teach when we find and find when we teach, it was absolutely incredible! This mission is the Lord's time and we need to do it the Lord's way.  That is the only way we will have success.

This week I was able to once again go on exchanges with Sister Westover. She came with me to my area and Lee jie mei went to Sister Westover's area. It's amazing how much a single companion can influence the work in an area. We were able to meet our weekly key indicator goals in the short 24 hour period that we were companions. Just going out and going hard.  Seriously the fastest 24 hours of my life. 

In honor of this ridiculous new Pokemon Go! game, our Zone got together in a park crowded full of Pokemon players and put on our own Pokemon activity. (See pictures...) It was pretty successful.
Lunch appointments with investigators happen often. However, this week we had a very special appointment. We went to this udon restaurant and our investigator orders the restaurant's special, a 5 kg (11 lbs.) bowl of Udon. They had a rule. If he could finish the entire thing in 30 minutes it was free. So the first half an hour of our
appointment was spent cheering him on as he charged this gigantic tub of noodles...Half an hour and an empty sink bowl later, we shared with him the Restoration and set a baptismal date.

On Saturday night we came home to a red hornet flying around our house....\O.O/ A spatula and some Mr. Clean later (we didn't have bug spray) the little fella was a goner...we later realized that there was actually a nest behind our dryer. But it's all good now.

WE HAD A BAPTISM!!! Zhang Hao Ping! COOOLEST 15 year old EVER!! He was actually a member referral. A recent convert's little brother. We hope one day to be able to see their entire family get sealed together.

This week was the most excellent! I don't know how it can get any better but somehow, every week it just does!

Well fam, just want to let you all know how much I love and miss you all! A BIG MAHALO to my Ohana for ALL THE LETTERS AND PACKAGES!! For me, getting letters is like opening presents on Christmas day so, THANK YOU!!

Today we are going to visit some really old friends of ours, the Terracotta Warriors at the National Palace Museum. Exciting, I know! Also, tomorrow we find out who will stay and who will go (This Thursday is Transfers) 

XD XD XD!!
