September 25th

Today is P-day. crazy... I'm in Taiwan learning Chinese. Chinese is coming along. I still have people that look at me funny because they don't know what I'm trying to say. But sometimes i have conversations where they get every word I say. The past few weeks has been really windy, so biking has been a little difficult. I'll send some pics asap. my camera broke so I'm relaying on my comps camera and he is really good about it. :) so this week I was talking to a member and He asked what i did before I came on a mission. I told him about school and work then at last said I did ballroom dance and cabaret. He looked up cabaret in a dictionary because I didn't know to say that in Chinese. In Chinese it translated to strip dancer... he look shocked and asked if when I dance I had to take my clothes off. LOL I could not stop laughing. I had McDonald's for the first time on a mission... I don't remember grease, fat and Gross veggies ever tasting like a bite of Heaven. Well truth is we got bagels at Costco and from then on nothing tastes good. ha ha Every food here is crazy. Most common pizza (and pizza is not common) is duck. pppuuuueeewwwkkkk. I'm learning how much I love American crappy food. nothing is as good as a fast food meal from any joint. Our daily meals right not consist of... food I'm not even sure of what it all is, so I won't explain until I do:) We write at an Internet cafe every week. LOL kinda ghettoly cool. I learn more and more about God's work and how to effectively do it everyday! This week I was thinking about how much I really wanna learn from this experience. I feel like my life is kinda like a lake. streams and rivers are all that keep me beautiful and alive. these streams are god's love and people he has placed in my life. Satan tries to dry up my streams and damn my rivers so as to stop my full potential. every day when I read, pray and ponder I am hiring rangers to watch over my grounds and stop any invaders from destroying my life source. :) I feel the days when I don't do these or they are not good then My rangers STOP working for me. It's like I stop paying them. I feel it's easy to get tired and a little sad here. But I hope as I focus on God and his work I can remember what The whole idea for life is, and how I can better share that with God's children. I'd love to hear what everyone is up to.
