Hey awesome family, wow what a start to 2012. How has it been? I am so glad to be connected to a family that is involved in so many things. Sounds like this week has been very exciting and full of fun activity's, almost other than the house feeling empty due to the lack of two of us. Dad, Mom, Chandler, Sam, Brin, Sara, Jakob, Sophia know that we love you all. Know that we are so grateful for all that you do for us.
Sounds like this week has been full of good things at home, getting ready for the singing time and primary. Thank you for your example of doing good trying to do your best, even when it is hard and we don't quite understand how or why it works out the way that is does.
This week has been fun and full. The photos are from last Monday, we went to a place called liu3fu4cun1 it is one of the three or four amusement parks in Taiwan and it was a fun time even though the rides had a height limit of 190cm and I'm 203cm! It was fun for the most part. The height restriction was for the neck rest and that is the height that they designed the rest to be for (since people here are so short) but no problem we where safe and had a bunch of fun. I couldn't help but think about you as we mounted a life size fake horse and thought "Wow the real thing would be fun!" Oh well in time. So that was Monday day. That night was good we had a few lessons that night and it was a good day. Tuesday we went to Taipei for a meeting with President for the month of January, getting ready for the training that we would receive for the month and the topic for our district meetings this month. Our assignment is chapter 8 "How to use time wisely." We need it. In the training President talked about being valiant. How in D&C only the Valiant will be able to receive all the father has, and that going to the temple and doing the right things is not enough! Being on a mission and going out to pass the time by talking to people is not why we are here and not what the Lord has called us to be! We are to be pressing forward and voicing the Gospel because this is the most important message in the world and we can't not spread it because of what it means to us!! We need to go out and plan and set goals to find what the Lord has put on our path and talk to everyone. Anyway it was a cool training and I hope that I'm doing it right. Wednesday we went to Toufen which is along way away. It takes about an hour to get there and so not really far, but in Taiwan that's far. We went and attended a district meeting there and gave some training. Then came back just in time for English class and Thursday is here already. So this week was crazy, full of meetings and fun things. I hope that I am using the best use of my time.
This week has gone by fast and also this transfer as well. This week is week 6 the last week in this transfer and so it is almost time for move calls. I think that I will stay here but I think that Elder Bogle might move. He has spent a long time in this zone and so he might be moving but who knows everything is possible. Crazy how fast time is going by!
Ok, so about the bike? I'll call up the guy again and talk to him about what we need to do. Dad, you think we should leave it here? Ok, Cool I'll get working on that.
Ok, you all are awesome thank you for your example and for all that you do.
Love you Family!
