Hey family,


Thats pretty cool you got to go to China this week. Glad you liked it, wish I could have gone, but Dad never offered to take us while I was there (sarcastic, he did). Hope Matthew is feeling better.

Lifes going pretty good here. We got a hold on all the stuff going on in the area, which unfortunantly isn't a lot. When we got here we had a couple of shaky inv. from the last Elders and a few RCs to work with. We've met all 3 RCs and they are all really nice, Bonnie, Bill, and Lindsay. But because we didn't have a lot of inv. we have been doing a lot of tracting and have had some really exciting success. So far we have found one really nice family; Ben, Crystal, Haylee (4, really funny) and Nathan. when we met them at the door they let us in and we started talking about families. We taught about the family proclamtion and about the B of M. At the end we were talking about how all the different religions came about and Ben said " Ya, you theres a lot of wierd ones out there, you got the _____ and the _____ (censored) and then the Mormons, theyre way out there." I almost burst out laughing, but carefully explained how we were Mormon. He said "O sorry, you guys aren't like the other Mormons I knew." Apparently he knew some Mormons from the UP that ... gave us a bad rep. Anyway it was pretty funny, he was really apologetic, we were just laughing. So they have some potential. Then we found a ton of inv. after them, just have to contact them.

The first day we were here a family invited us over for thanksgiving, which was nice. Don't at all know who they are, but theyre willing to feed us so I don't mind.So don't worry Mom, I won't be eating raman noodles with turkey flavor for thanksgiving (although now I think about it, that doesn't sound bad.)

On Fri we had a 'ZLs Council' and had the person over all the foreign MTCs come and talk to us. It was pretty cool, learned a lot and got to catch up with some of the missionaries there.

Ok have to go, promise I'll write more next time. Have a great week!

Love
