It is so good to hear that you all are doing so well. I love the photos of you all working hard and wish that I could be there working with you all. I have so many memories working together, and building memories with you all. Thank you all for your example and hard work. You really are amazing.
I thought about you all a lot this last week. Last Saturday we went to a place called to guan1xi1. It is up in the mountains. It is my area but we don't really go there because it is an hour and a half bike ride one way and there are not a lot of people up there because it is all farms. Anyway we went up there because a member requested that we go up to sing some songs for a friend whop had just died. We thought that it was going to be at a service of some kind, but we were wrong. People here are bie4bie4, which part of the belief is ancestor worship. So we got up there and we found that we were going to his house to sing to him, or his picture. It was weird. His wife and mother came out after and we got to talk to them for a minute but other that, a quick thank you, we left. Weird, how are we supposed to build the trust of the ward and do work, but not become a free choir? It was interesting. Something that I won't forget. Weird. Anyway so after we went to the members work, he works at a golf course up in the mountains, close to where his friend lives. Anyway Elder Barlow and I where very excited; because we were in the mountains! I added some photos so you could see the mountain part of Taiwan! I also included a photo of the people that went with us to sing.
You all are so awesome. I am glad that you got my package. I'm sorry that I didn't get it out earlier. I sent it the week of Christmas and I was hoping that it would get there faster than it did. I'm glad that it got there. I tried to find something that is Chinese like a paper lantern, but I couldn't find any. I hear that there will be a lot of them for sale later in the year.
I am doing great physically. I weighed myself last night and I was 232. I also have some weights that I bought, and I'm doing well. I go running every other morning and lift on the others. So I'm right about what I was when I left on the mission. My companion has a tape I think that I want to measure myself and keep track on how I am doing physically. I am eating. I am healthy:)
My companion is doing well. Today in his email he learned that he will get home at 9:30 on the _______ he is excited! We are working hard and seeing miracles! We are doing great. We have a goal of two baptisms this month. We have had one and it went great. She has friends and is looking great. We have two other people with baptism dates that we hope will get baptized this month. We are working hard but we are having a great time doing it.
I need to say think you to grandma and grandpa Harr. They sent me a package and some money, and I haven't thanked them. I I heard that their computer is or was down, could you sent their email to me? Thank you.
Well you all are awesome, I love you.
I know that our Father in Heaven lives. I know that I Jesus is our Savior. The Book of Mormon is true.
Love you,
Elder Harr
