This friday will be one month on the Island!!! :) I fell my chinese is getting better. I can at least communicate and Some people really do feel it's good (which helps my inner heart feelings that's for sure.) This week has been crazy. We had another baptism!!!!!! His name is Ricky Lee (everyone here uses and loves american names.) He is way cool and came all the way from breaking every law in the book to being the best man I've met in a long time. He even brought his girlfriend to the baptism and church:) It felt so good when after the baptism Ricky came up and gave me and my comp a giant LOONNGG huge and said "I love you guys" It made my day!!:) It's amazing to see the change God can make in someone if you give him the chance. He never stops suprising me. :) God is pretty grand if I say so myself. Last P-day we went to 101. cool but clouds were coming in fast and it costs 20 dollars (alot for a missionary in taiwan) so we didn't go up. but we got pictures from the outside and they are cool. :) well this week we didn't get to watch conference. :( lol becuase of time difference we are a day ahead of you so we would have to watch it sunday and monday.. which would mean it conflicts with work for members. So we watch it this weekend. :) (you could send me fave qoutes ect. so I can be ahead of the game;) Today were going to costco:) I;m soooo excited. It's nothing like the one in america... stock chinese food is not like stock american food. VERY different! Last P-day we also went to what we thought was a food expo... Nope! ended up being a buddist sculpture/ culture expo. ha ha we felt a littl out of place. But we found a shop that makes gaint bells. sick!!!! we wanna buy a 40 ton bell. :) This week I've been studying about life and insight. I love the word insight!!! In life everyone says share an insight about this or that. It takes a lot to share an intellectual insight. for you must be able to put yourself inside the the subject to have insight. For me personaly (dui wo geren lai shou) As i have been studying Kirk/Talmage/PMG/scripys and a very good mixture of pondering I feel my insights have becomeing more insighful only becuase I can actually put myself inside the thought and then reap understanding. This week I have studied about a few things after insight. first was will and won't versus can and can't; two totally different mind sets that are making all the difference to me. Well when I get all these thoughts organized I'll write you all about them:)
