Distributor Meeting

OK first, J, Happy Birthday!!!!! Happy Birthday Bro. I hope that it was good, that you had fun. Then Happy Thanksgiving. How was it? I hope that you all had a great year. I thought about you as that day went on. I hope that you all know that I'm grateful for you and that I hope that you all know that I love you. I am also grateful for this time to be out here on the mission. I am grateful for the help that the Lord has given me and will continue to give me as I continue to help Him.

Well lets see I have a few photos, that go along with some sweet stories. OK so one of them is a photo of a bunch of people sitting down with candles, I'll start with that one. Last Sunday we had a member bring some co-workers with him to church. My companion went and talked to them and got to know them for a sec, he said that they didn't really have any interest and that they said that they did not want to meet but that they where cool. Well the next day that member calls us up and is like hey remember that friend that I brought to church, they want to invite you to share why you are here in Taiwan, and what you are doing here. Sweet member referral! So he asks us if we could do it on Wednesday night. We had English class and we told him that but we told him that we had like ten min that we could do it. He said "Sweet I'll set it up." OK so Wednesday comes and we get a ride over and start walking up the stairs, and I notice that there are a bunch of candles on the stairs, one per stair. OK, so what, no big. We get father up and there start to be balloons as well so I tell my companion that it could be that someone's getting married and that it is like a member. Well we get up to the top where we are going to meet this guy, his girlfriend, and this member. Well we walk in and there is like 15 people in the room. Ok this is weird what is going on here? They are watching a movie and the member comes out and says "Hey sweet they just want you to share why you are here and what you are doing here and what you are doing here." OK whatever, I notice that on the tables that are glass that there is two bottles of what looks like wine on each table, with wine glasses next to them. OK weird. Well like 3 min after we walk in they say we would like to welcome Bao zhang lao (Elder Bogel). Interesting. So we get up there in the center and they all are just looking at us and so we start talking about the Gospel. We got into Heavenly Father a bit, but they only wanted us to take about ten min. The actual thing took about 5 min then the head guy who came to church kinda took over. Turns out this was a big berry juice thing that they where selling and they where having a distributors meeting, and they wanted us to give like a motivational speech. Well we needed to leave shortly after that.

Well that was fun. Then the next photo was on Thanksgiving thinking about you all. Love you all.
