Hello All,
This week has had a lot of interesting things happen. I will cover as
many as I can.
Well first off this week has been insanely wet!!! 2 typhoons! that is a
lot of rain. I am from Oregon, I know rain, this week we had a LOT.
So I can't remember if I mentioned it last week. But our washing machine
broke, so we told the sisters and they said that they would wash our clothes if
we would throw their fridge away. So we aren't dumb so we took that deal. It was
pretty easy, all we did was run over to their house and use our exercise time to
take it to the dump about 100 meters from their house. The funny thing was that
we got around the corner and a homeless woman asked what we were doing with it.
We told her that we were throwing it away and that it was full of mold and
cockroaches. However she insisted that we leave it on the street with her. So we
did. I think she wanted to recycle it for money or loot the brass from it or
something. I am not sure. We went by a few days later and it was gone and I
didn't ask what she did with it.
So the first typhoon was on a day that Elder Garcia and I were on
exchanges. It was only a class 3 so we could go out side. Since it was an
exchange there was no point in staying home and doing paper work. So we went out
and made an attempt at finding. I got more wet in those few hours than I have in
the last year easy. My shoes were wet for 3 days. I finally had to turn the
heater on them and leave them in the bathroom for a whole day. It was 37 in
there. it was awful. I am not sure but I think that the rain might have stained
my bag. Meh I don't really care, it kinda adds character.
The other typhoon was a class 8 so that means that we had to stay inside
a whole day. It was terrible. It was so boring. We live in a small house and we
had spent the whole day before in the house, and our house is quite small.... so
we had a good case of cabin fever.
Then this Sunday we had a nice man from Japan come to church. His name
was brother Suzuki. He was very nice and was in HK for business and got delayed
because of the typhoon so he decided to come to church. that was fun. Luckily
since he is a business man he had really good English. And since my companion
falls asleep in church quite often I was put in charge of translation. That went
really well.
Today we had a mission tour! IT was sick! Elder Wong of the first quorum
of the 70 presided and gave trainings. It was fanatic!!! It was hilarious! He is
supper funny. He is from HK and I served in his home ward of Sha Tin for a long
time. His English is great and has a great accent.
Love you all!!!!!

some damage from my the level 8 typhoon
Elder Garcia and I made a vain attempt at water proofing our shoes by putting paper towels in the bottom and trash bags around our socks. It worked for a while but not for as long as I would have liked.
drying socks
eating the Skeleton shaped Cheetos we sent him in his last box. He said he used chopsticks to keep his fingers clean.
