Jared May 2011

Wan an!
I'm in Taiwan! Have you ever been like in a place you've been for awhile and then look at it again and think like "... what in the world?" Yeah that's like my every month or so. It's like I'm talking to an investigator or something and half way through, or right after it will hit me that I just had a full conversation in Chinese. Sometimes people will ask me what just happened in that conversation, or ask about a word I said, and often I have no idea, it's just the Spirit understood what was going on and I am blessed to always have the Holy Ghost with me.
I'm a little curious about this birthday party thing. Are people allowed to wish Natalie happy birthday at Miranda's party? Or is Natalie even invited to Miranda's birthday party? :P
I do not understand your healthy habits thing. You can get 10 a day, then 2 at the end of the week for no chips and one for every 30 seconds off your mile. That means that Nathan had a perfect day everyday, didn't have chips, and thats a total of 72. So he also took 3 minutes off his mile?! Wow no wonder he is beating everyone.
I'd be interested to know the full rules, and what number I would start at. Because I automatically drink a ton of water, and work out daily. We don't have enough money for treats or chips, so just buy some fruit and I win! :D
Well Family! I love you! Everything in Taiping is amazing. We had the most investigators I've had a church this week (actually tired with another week) with 6. Our friend Zhao dixiong (The man that could really change his life by coming unto Christ) has expressed a few times that he doesn't really want to be baptized, nor give up his 2-3 packs of Cigarrettes a day, and we aren't sure how much longer we will be working with him. Then we also have, You dixiong, who for the past couple weeks has brought his girlfriend with him everytime, and we discovered they actually live together (they're only 22). And he also doesn't want to give up another addiction. Then I've also seen investigators like liu dixiong who instantly gave up his tea, coffee, alchohol, binlang and smoking in a matter of days. That really testifies to me that some things the Lord asks are not easy. Satan's grasp can almost seem inescapable. But once you personally decide what to do, you just have to do it. If you choose the Lord's way he will help you accomplish it, you just first have to decided to do it. I know that God gave us our agency so that we can choose, and learn and progress, and he is excited to help us choose right.
I love you all!
