Wow
another week has come and gone! I can't believe it has been almost a year! So
crazy! This week I went on exchanges with a zone leader Elder Fiso and he is
one year ahead of me on his mission, so that means today he
left to go home!! It was super weird talking to him and seeing that the time is
really going to come and it is super weird to think about!! So for now I am not
going to! :) I am so happy to have this opportunity to learn and grow and it is
kind of sad to think about it coming to an end and it being over, once this is
over it is over haha once in a life time opportunity and it is already half way
over, but I still have another half to take on so that is always good!
Today is
move call but nothing to exciting happened, me and Elder Shelton are still
staying together here in feng shan :) I got all of the packages this last week
thank you so much for the candy!!! I think candy is like the best thing us
missionaries can get!! haha today we
are going to watch one of the movies you sent us! Thanks again! Ky thanks for
the shirt that is pretty sweet! I got them on the same day so that worked out
pretty sweet! I will write back to your letter today!
A couple days ago a
sister thought it would be funny to test our patients.... haha they called us
when we were on our way to a lesson and told us they needed their bikes in an
hour and they wanted us to go get them from the hospital for them... haha well
we tried calling our lesson but realized we didn’t have his number so we went
to find where he lived and it was out of our area... so we called the sisters
and they said it is ok just get them when we can. We went to the lesson and it
went good kind of, ha, but I will talk about it in a second. After the lesson
we took our bikes to the church then rode the bus to the Hospital so we could
just ride their bikes home.... well we get to the Hospital and walk around for
a little bit and can’t find the bikes so we ended up calling them and they
laugh then say "ooops we needed our bikes so we called the other elders to
go get them and it just slipped our mind to call you back.... sorry" ha
then they told us there was still one bike there so if we could walk that one
back that would be great.... so we got to walk the bike from the hospital to
the church and it took like 20 minutes... super fun :) haha but I am still
alive and got to do service for them so overall I guess it wasn’t to bad ;)
Now the lesson was with
a blind guy, it was super different but I think he was faking that he was
blind.... He would look around and look at stuff then he would make eye contact
with us when he would talk to us and his eyes looked normal so I was really
confused.... haha he definitely didn't act like a blind guy and he was wearing
seeing glasses.... but it was a pretty good lesson he has different views on
things and also thinks the commandments are too restrictive but he thinks we
are good. We just shared our testimonies and talked with him for a while and I
think he felt the spirit and we helped him! That is the best thing about a
mission. You get to spend your whole day just trying to help people and bring
them a happiness!
This week we got some
sweet haircuts!! haha probably the most Taiwanese hair cut I have ever had, but
I guess that is what you get when you tell them to just make you shuai haha oh
well it is a cool experience! :) I will send pictures :)
I hope you all have a
great week and stay happy! Love you
Some things I have
learned in Taiwan:
-Don’t underestimate an Asian
when it comes to them using their scooter as a pickup truck! :) Or as anything
for that matter! They use them to mow fields here... haha
-Don’t worry about
things you can’t control!
-The less you focus on
time going fast the faster it goes!
-There are A LOT of
crazy people in Taiwan!
-and you never fully
enjoy what you have until you don't have it any more!
I want everyone to focus
on what really matters this week! Love you
Love Elder Roberts
