A LETTER!!

Ok, I am going to just write everything he wrote to us.

Dear Mom,

Hey, I arrived safe and sound at the airport. I met another elder, Elder Patterson. I see him now and again. I have seen Elder Sobotka (James' friend from our ward going to Berlin) twice. I miss him alot. We need to exchange schedules. I have received two letters and the package. Both I believe you sent the same exact day. Well, my companion is from Farmington, NM. His name is Tao Zhang Lao (Elder Teare). He is fun and nice. Tao Zhang Lao is 19 yrs old like me. My district has ten total "zhang lao men" (multiple elders). There are two Mandarin branches. Ours has 28 zhang lao men. District A, mine, has 7 going to Taipei, one going to Toronto East, and two going to Toronto West. District B has ten zhang lao men going all over. They entered with me. District C has eight and they are the veterans. I was made the senior companion for this first 6 weeks. We have devotionals on Tuesday. Tonight I will have a fireside. The spirit is so strong. I love it. I was able to be an investigator twice while other zhang lao men taught me and I could not help but feel the the Holy Ghost. The Chinese is hard, but it is better these past two days. My two teachers rock. Di Lao Shi (Brother Dean, teacher) and Chen Lao Shi (Brother Kitchen, teacher) are their names.

They do have an MTC choir and I am going to it at 4:15pm today. Guess who is at the MTC? Brother Allen and Sister Allen. Our old stake president from Hacienda Heights 1st. He is a branch counselor. He could not stop talking about how Dad was a powerful teacher and how you were a great help to Dad and taught lots of strong lessons.

Well you said to write what I need. Supposedly ReNu is calling back its contact solution for some health reason. It was in last weeks district bulletin. So if you could send some of a different brand that would be nice. Also, another towel would be nice. Someone said that mail is 39 cents and I have 37 cent stamps so if you could send some 2 cent stamps or some 39 cent ones that would be much appreciated. Also a longer comb and a shower gel cleaning thing. Lauren has two in her room. Surprise me if you believe I need anything else. I do leaven for Taiwan on July 4th! Well I love you alot, CTR!!!

LOVE ALWAYS,

Wei Zhang Loa
