約瑟斯密 (Yuēsè Sīmì/Joseph Smith) is taking our English class

Hello!

Krista sent me photos of Sam's haircut.  It looks really good.... Those are free right? Kayleigh is so talented. State cosmetology competition? That's pretty cool. What does that entail?

I'll be hosting some new missionaries on Thursday for their first night on island. So I'll be taking around a new missionary for a little bit. That should be fun. I remember my first night on island.... It was pretty terrible. It's also very possible that I could be training in a couple weeks. Or Elder Hatch is training...So we're not really sure what's going to happen. 3 things:

1. He's training. 
2. I'm training. 
3.We're together another transfer.

Sorry to hear about Grandpa Burge. What the heck is going on?

As for this week we didn't really find any new investigators. Lots of close potentials, but they all fell through. So we see this 12 year old kid all the time. He has tattoos and he smokes and chews beetle nut. We found him watching porn with his little 7 year old brother in a 7/11 once. It was awkward, but we never had talked to him. Then one day we saw him outside a school and we talked to him. His English was alright and he was pretty cool. He set up a time for us to meet with him and stuff but it didn't work out.

I got your package this week. American candy is very different than candy here. Like a Snickers vs. a Snickers from Taiwan. Super different. The package was tasty. American cereal. That was good. The music is great though. It's better than MoTab.  Me and my companion were listening to Sons of Provo all week. We were laughing pretty hard.

Yeah, I also got a flat tire this week.

Some day's are better when we work. Some days we can't understand anything anyone is saying. Some days we feel fluent. Some days people want to talk to us. Some days people tell us to go eat poop.

There's this old guy at our English class. We call him 約瑟斯密 (Yuēsè Sīmì/ Joseph Smith). Basically, he just walks around our English class telling everybody in broken English that he's your grand dad. He also tells everyone that he's 約瑟斯密. So he'll be like, "HEY. I.......Am..... Yuēsè Sīmì!!" Then he'll laugh really hard. It's so funny. If you mention anything to him about Joseph Smith he just laughs. He's not a member. He thinks its hilarious.

On Sunday we had to teach our Gospel Principles class very last minute. Fortunately we had good class participation and didn't have to talk too much.

Oh yeah, while contacting through a park we found our investigator Lin sleeping on a bench. It was awkward. So we snagged some pictures of him and then felt too bad to wake him up, so we left him alone. That was pretty funny. He's a snorer.


I love you all so very much and I'm grateful for your package that you sent me. We love it all and we were so pumped! I'm happy healthy and well! Love you!
