It's nice to hear about the stuff going on back home. Home seems really weird to me now. I'll probably have massive panic attacks when I get back. I've been talking to some Elders that have gone home and they all say that they don't know how to fit into American culture anymore. One of them stays inside all day and doesn't really talk to anyone besides people from Taiwan over Facebook... I worry that's going to be me.
This week was good... I'm not sure where to begin.. I'll start off with a weird experience that happened this week. I fell asleep in our apartment and my companion fell asleep too. (oops.) And then I remember the phone ringing and it was a member that was going to help us teach a lesson. I just remember the phone ringing and answering it and saying some Chinese... I guess I did the entire call in my sleep and responded fine to everything. I don't remember the call. I just knew that the lesson was cancelled... Some things never change with me.. I'm super weird with sleep.
We've been eating healthier this week. It's very common in Taiwan to be given massive amounts of fruit all the time from members and stuff. So I've been making an effort to eat healthier with my companion. It didn't go well as we immediately were taken to a steak place this week with some greasy American food.
We also got our apartment inspected this week by the senior couple. They surprised us and said they were coming down THAT morning to tour our chapel and inspect our house. So me and companion spent the entire morning cleaning. My companion kept making jokes about dust being on horizontal surfaces and checking my mirrors from all angles. They didn't say anything about our apartment mostly because it was literally military standards clean.
We've also reached out in love and are eating with the neighboring Elders once a week. I enjoy talking to them, one has some really interesting ideas about missionary work and me and Elder Miller just laugh. The other is really cool, he was an Air Force ROTC cadet up at USU and so me and him were talking a ton. He's fun to talk to.
Nothing really new is going on missionary work wise. Just kind of the same old same old. We don't really have anyone in particular that's especially progressing. We're teaching a girl from the Philippines. Right now she's basically working like a slave and her family lives in the Philippines. She has 5 kids. She's really cool and we teach her in English. She's really enjoying the Book of Mormon. The only problem is, she can't really get to church due to obvious reasons...
I'm doing really well and Kending was super pretty. It was like a movie tropical island scene. It was really pretty. Don't worry I took some cool pictures. It reminded me of Hawaii. At least what I think Hawaii is. I love you all so very much. Today we're going to another Island, 旗津海岸公園. It should be pretty.
