Records on Records on Records On Rain

So this week was SIIIIICK, not cuz we were sick or anything, but because it was DOOOPE! not cuz we got high, but cuz it was just An absolutely awesome awesome week!! hahaha. Cool, so this week, we had the realization, that the member book in our apartment is like a million years old, we decided to get new binders, and new member sheets and recreate the  whole thing, because recently the mission has given us a new way to create member records and its actually super sick! So if we spend maybe an hour every day recreating this member book, and it looks really really good. But that was a bad story, but that was what a lot of our week consisted of, making records and telling stories hahaha companionship unity is strong thoo!! (Bad Story)

Cool anyways, this week, we had an unplanned service activity, well it was planned, but it wasn't, so once a transfer, we go out to the front of the church and we weed the little plot of dirt in front of the sign, and we throw all the weeds away, and try to make it look nicer than it was before. Anyways, it was raining really hard... like really hard, there was a typhoon, and it poured lots and lots of rain! So we took the opportunity and just enjoyed the rain, we were in working clothes so,  we just got super wet... Elder Hansen is 100%! Shout out to Mama Nancy and Papa Kendall for Raising him! It was a fun fun time! (Bad Story)

So, another fun thing that Elder Hansen has been doing is teaching me Ballroom... i guess he did ballroom a long time ago, so he's been teaching me the Cha Cha, FoxTrot, Swing, and sometimes after daily planning, we just chill in our office and I learn how to Ballroom dance... (The Girls Part) so, if anyone wants to learn the girls part of any type of ballroom dance, YOU GOT IT! (Bad Story)

 

Honestly... I am so sorry for this email, but hopefully the pictures will make up for it! So, a few cool miracles before I go, or a really big one before I keep wasting your time with really bad pointless stories... So First Stephen, we finally found out his full Chinese name (Lo Yee Long) Literally translated into "Two Dragons" So sick anyways, aside from his dope name, he just solidified his Baptismal date, by keeping every single one of his commitments, and he meets us twice a week now, so its been really cool. On top of that, the Ward has a mission plan where they will pick one person specifically to be his fellowshipper, and the Bishop volunteered to be his fellowshipper, so we have been able to teach him so much with a ton of members, and pretty much we don't see anything wrong with his baptismal date so I'm really excited for him.

Another cool story, last night, we were able to visit with a family from our ward, the Fife Family, now the Fifes are really special, because the dad is white, and doesn't speak a lick of Chinese. And the mom is From Hong Kong and speaks both, and the kids all speak both as well, so we had this visit all in English, which felt really really weird... It was awesome! But we shared a lesson with them about families, and all the kids were being wild, but we were able to express the fact that the Happiest times and the Saddest times are always in the family and that the Gospel blesses the family in a way that we can't really imagine! I love you guys! Thanks for the emails. Hope to hear from you guys soon!

Love, 

Elder Chen
