I was going to post them all that I have missed posting, but its too much and I am too busy at the present. Forgive me and enjoy the one we received yesterday, please.
Dear Mom and Dad,
I am glad that Dad's interview went well. It has been in my prayers. I can't believe that a month is almost gone. The day's go by fast here. LOL. I go to the Temple every Thursday which is my p-day. I am glad that Daniel has had a change of heart. I am grateful and blessed that those prayers are being answered. The food here is alright. Some stuff is good, most is bad. The food gives you bad gas and what not. LOL. I have sung in the MTC choir every time they meet since I got here. I have saved every piece of music as well. Wo de tong ban and I are working hard on "Face to Face" where we hope we can sing it at the Sunday Fireside.
About James (Sobotka, his friend from our ward going to Berlin) helping me, I wrote the Sobotka's and said that whenever I see him, I feel an empty glass that is now overflowing. Both of us talked about seeing each other alot, but we have not even hit 10 times. I know I am blessed when I see him since it is usually when I am at a low point. Yesterday I was really frustrated but I talked to Ding Lao Shi in the TEC and he said when he gets frustrated, that is when he has to double his efforts at putting out and working. Satan can rarely get to a missionary when he is working. Only through outside distractions and frustration does he halt progression of the Lord's work. In me it is usually short. Wo de tong ban has been a big strength as well as my teachers and Bro Robbins (1st counselor in our branch presidency). He has been a big strength and I know him and I will not lose touch with him.
But when I saw Elder Sobotka and talked with him he said barely two days ago he felt comfortable to talk all the way in German. His friend was worse off and says it will come. Not to mention they have been here 8 weeks and me only 3. My teachers, Elder Sobotka, and my branch president say they see remarkable desire in me. They say that will pull me through and it has. With the Lord aiding me I rarely stay in a slump for more than an hour. True two major blessings have come while I am on my mission (Dad's new job prospect and Daniels' mission) but I am awed at the little ones that hit me every day. I can not even begin to imagine long term ones. I am grateful to be here. I love the MTC. I will teach someone in Taiwan and touch their heart as long as I stay worthy and work hard. I will return with Honor. I love you all. Sunday you get individual letters if you want one.
Love always,
Wei zhang Lao
Ps. enjoy the pics, send hot cheetos please? Send Roxy....LOL.
