First of all HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENSEN!!!!! I am writing this on the 19th and
you are reading it on the 18th haha cool. Happy Birthday and have a good one
bro!
Ok so bad news is that I had most of this e-mail written and then it all
disappeared so I will have to be bad so sorry.
We were going to attempt a 3 day diet of only fruit and rice. We
realized that it was expensive and we were all very hungry by the end of the
first day so we decided to stop. We also learned that dragon fruit seeds do not
digest.
This week we did a lot of "Less Active finding". Which means we go to
the houses of people who have not been to church in a long time and just check
up on them. This led to us going in to a few very sketchy buildings with very
very sketch lifts. I got videos of a few so I will attach some of those. For the
most scary one I only got a video of the door because it had a man inside and I
didn't want to make fun of his house.
Then we had a great activity which really helped us find some people to
teach. So that was amazing. It was also a great party so those are always great!
Our roommates made a Piñata. That was really fun because the Chinese people
have never seen one before so they were asking a lot of questions. They didn't
quite understand why we did it. One asked me if it symbolizes raining blessings
on people. I said "yeah... kinda like that..." haha. At this activity I also
learned how to play Chinese chess. Turns out it is vaguely similar to our white
people version. I was playing one of the Priests (16-18 year old young man) and
trying to figure out how it worked when a member came up from behind me and
started playing for me. He won of course, but it looked like I won and it blew
everyone's mind that a White dude could beat a Chinese person at Chinese chess.
So that was really funny.
I also want to talk about an awesome investigator we have named Andy. So
Andy drives a taxi and the way that that works is that you own your car and the
more you drive the more money you make. So He came to all 3 hours of church!!!
He lost a fair amount of money so it was a pretty big sacrifice for him. So that
was amazing! I am fairly sure that he will be baptized fairly soon.
Ok that is all for this week Love you all!
Love,
Elder Walker

Our water heater broke again. So that makes about a month total for me with no hot water at all...
