Editors Note: In this email he references several pictures but we didn't have any pictures come through.
Ok got the photos on the way:) WOW this week has been a blast we have seen miracles here in xin1 feng1 and it is only going to get better! First I'll tell you about the photos that I have sent and then I'll tell you some stories.
Three of these photos are of my bike break. The right side, three weeks ago my pick got knocked over by some guy getting on his scooter, and it pulled the snap ring out of the grove. We were waiting for a member to help us peike and so we where on our way to an appointment and could not fix it right then. So I take it to the bike shop and they snap the ring back in to place or so I thought. Since then it has come out of it's place almost weekly. I can keep putting it back into place but since it is such a new bike I thought that I should ask. The bike shop here is really good and they said that they would work with Red Rock, to get it fixed if they could connect. Can you get their email for me so I can get it to them?
Ok, now fun stuff, one of these photos is for a Christmas Card that I'm working on today to send to everyone that has sent me mail. This is right by my house at the top of a hill, and it is over looking part of the city Zhubei, and into the sea. 100 miles across that water is the land known as DaLu or main land China! It is way cool. The other photo in this set needs no explanation it was taken while we where getting photos for our Christmas cards and I think that it speaks for itself:)
Ok, so this week we met Julian!!!! This story is about how we just have to work as hard as we can and just know that the Lord will bless us!
WOW! So we were on our bikes by the train station and were trying to find people to talk to. So we were saying hello to everyone that we passed there a lot of people say "Hi" back as a joke, and have no interest, or as soon as they say it they hurry up and leave. Well this kid who we passed said in English "Hey Elder" I had passed and my companion had as well, we stopped and turned around, he said to us "Your Mormon, right?" comp "Ya are you a member?" he said " No, but I want to be"... wow so we turn around and go back to him and he took off his backpack and said "Hold on a sec I got this..." He then opened his backpack and he pulls out an English Book of Mormon. Comp "Where did you get that?" he said "I went to America, Utah in fact and lived with an member family and they gave me this. I went to church with them and everything. "Wow so we sat down with him and got asking him, so have you read that book, he said "Ya I have all of it, and I have started again, I read it every day" Wow!!.. we said "That is awesome, have you prayed about it to know if it is the word of God?" he said "Ya I pray everyday, and I believe it is a true book." well at that part me and my companion are in the clouds, WOW this 19 year old kid is sooooooooo ready, he has a date for his baptism on the 1/8!!
The Lord loves us and helps us all the way. He knows who we are and guides us to where He wants us to go!
Story two:
Last week I contacted this guy on a scooter and he gave me his phone number and said that he was willing to meet but he had no time to talk right then. Well this guy was for real, I called him later in the week and he set up. We met with him yesterday and he was totally accepting, and accepted the 1/15 as a date to receive baptism... Wow what a week. Work hard. Do your best and the Lord will bless!
I got to go but I would like to ask for Linford's address. Some how I can't seem to find it. Also Coach Pendalton?
Love you
You're awesome! Thank you so much for the new socks! I got them last week and Thank you as well for the twelve days of Christmas! Me and my comp love it!!!
