Another week in paradise!! This week
was super crazy!! We had three Christmas parties that were pretty much the
whole day, so it felt like we didn't get very much missionary work done which
was kind of frustrating but it was fun to. We had a big party on Thursday, the
whole mission got together and we all rented these party buses and went to sun Moon
Lake! It is a big tourist lake here and we got to shop and just hang out. We
took a big picture with everyone from the mission in front of the temple up by
the lake! It was super foggy there to so that was really cool! You could walk
out on the dock and pretty much disappear and look out over the lake and it was
just white!! Super cool! After we left the lake we rented this big steak and
BBQ place, it was pretty good. It was all you can eat everything and it was
good food! Then me and Elder Gish had to leave early because the AP's asked us
to go help them set up for the fire side! I have only been here for 2 months
and I am already in with them, ha-ha. Elder Gish is awesome he is the only
reason I am. The devotional was good and the missionaries that are leaving soon
spoke and it made me really want to enjoy my time here even more!! After the
devotional we got back on the bus and headed back to the mission home to get
our bikes, but about half way there a guy got hit by a car crossing the road so
President got out and helped him and then in the next intersection there was 2
scooters that crashed....it was crazy and we had a baptismal interview at 8 and
this happened at 7:30... from the mission home to our chapel is about a 30
minute bike ride so we decided we weren't going to have time to wait and get
our bikes and ride back so we end ended up just walking back to our chapel...
it was an exciting day!
The old guy had his baptismal
interview on Saturday that was quite the adventure... haha I was on splits with
Elder Palmer, he is from south Jordan, he is super cool to. Anyways we showed up at the church and there was no
Zhang Di Xiang.... we wait for about 10 min. then decided to go get him so we
road to his house and he was just getting ready to leave to who he said was his
"girlfriend" house then we asked him if he could come to the church
with us right now for 30 minutes and he said ok and we headed off! :) (Just
picture how cute that little guy looks riding a scooter!!!!!) haha then we got
to a light where we needed to turn and we turned and he kept going straight....
not sure where he was going and I don’t think he did either by the look he gave
us when he drove past... he looked like a lost puppy dog! We decided to just go
to the church and hopefully he would show up, he did about 5 min. after us but
sadly he didn't pass again because apparently he is drinking alcohol and coffee
and tea... I guess it just kind of depends what days you ask him these
questions and how he wants to answer them... he is so cute so this week we are
meeting with him every day at 7 to make sure he is doing everything and then we
will baptize him next week!
Yesterday we went to a mall and sang
a bunch of songs and everyone gathered and took pictures of all the white
people gathered together singing! Ha-ha it is so funny we are like animals at a
zoo! Everyone gathers to see us and wants to talk to us until we start talking
about the gospel... then they run away! Some people are scared of us though it is
super funny! We tried to talk to this one kid and he started backing up and was
tripping up this hill... Then hid behind a cart.... ha-ha he was really scared
of us!
I found some pretty funny and cool
stuff this week during studies! The funny thing is in Ether 14: 18,23 it is
pretty funny if you just read those two verses!! I at least got a laugh out of
it :) Then in Words of Mormon I read verse 7 and it really helped me! Even he
doesn't know everything but as long as we put our trust in the lord things will
work out and he will help us do what we need to! Do what he has told us and he
will bless you!
I love all of you and hope you have
another fantastic week and Christmas!! I know I will! Like my uncle Dave always
says "Just another day in paradise" Live every day like it is another
day in paradise and your life will be a lot better! Everything happens for a
reason, we might not know why but God does so trust in him and keep moving on!!
Love you all!
Love Elder Roberts

ReplyDeleteBox office king (and director) James Cameron casually came out of the tube. Who else? Wearing a Jacques Cousteau audemars piguet replica style head-warmer and trimmed-beard, the do-no-wrong film-maker and sci-fi visionary just finished going to the deepest bottom of the ocean. Almost seven miles underwater to the floor of the well-known rolex replica uk Marianas Trench. James piloted the rolex replica uk Deepsea Challenger 35,756 feet (10,898 meters) under water. Mr. Cameron's inclusion in the project was not exactly a Hollywood stunt. It is true that while down there hereplica watches brought some special 3D cameras to take footage for an upcoming feature film about the bottom of rolex replica watches the ocean (with a theatrical release relatively soon), but Cameron is no diving novice. Cameron has actually gone on over 70 deep vessel dives exploring the depths. If you recall he made movies such as rolex replica uk The Abyss and Titanic which each involved underwater elements.
