Dear Family and Friends,
Thank you all so much for the most wonderful birthday
ever!!! I can't believe that I got to turn 20 years old in Taiwan. It was
awesome!! Thank you all so much for the letters, and thank you so much
for the awesome package! Between Elder Christensen and I the treats
didn't last long! hahaha!! Elder Christensen's bday was the 18th... so I
talked with Willie and he got in contact with the ward and we had a surprise b
day party for him. It made him so happy!! That was awesome!! This
weekend way nuts!!! hahaha! It was a whirlwind!!
This week was crazy with interviews and then we had stake
conference. We spent most of the weekend in downtown gaoxiong for those
events. Interviews were great... I am so grateful for such a wonderful
mission president. I know that this church is true and am so grateful to
be here in Taiwan serving these people. Stake Conference was awesome as
well.
It also has been cool to see the change in "C" the last few months. This is the gospel. As members of the
church we have such a huge blessing in our lives that everyday we have the
opportunity to live the gospel and receive the blessings therefrom. This
is what we do.
I feel like the longer I am out here the more I am coming
to better understand the people's hearts here. I love the people
here. I love the gospel. It is hope, it is courage, the gospel is
LOVE!!! My heart was full this week. It has been full of love for all of
you, for these great people, for my Savior, and for my God. I love you
all. Keep the faith and keep looking to the future!!!
Love,
The Oldie... Elder 20yrs old
Redding!!!! ;)
