WEEK 18 HUALIAN: THE RACE HAS BEEN RAN. THE VOTES HAVE BEEN CAST! THE NUMBERS ARE IN! AND THE WINNER IS!!!

Hi guys. It's me. I mean you probably already knew that cause it's coming from my email. But this is me. 

It's free real estate.

Good memes. 

Anyways, it's been a week which means that there's another email because that's what happens. Hopefully you don't need me to explain it more than that. Even if you did, I wouldn't.

So yah, I'm purposely holding you all hostage by using a very captivating title. If you want the answer then just scroll to the bottom. It's down there.

So yah, the week has been pretty chill. Just doing the normal things. It's kinda just getting that way. I'm doing the work. I'm enjoying it. Nothing super special. 

Oh. I almost forgot. 

Liam got baptized. 

OH YAH, THAT'S RIGHT, YOUR BOI JUST HELPED A SOUL PROGRESS ONTO ETERNAL SALVATION. *insert mic drop here*

Yah that's enough of that. 

Anyways, yah that was a way cool experience. And I'm really happy that Liam made that decision. It's kinda cool to be like able to help someone get to the Ola e where they can make that decision. And I guess that's what missionary work is all about. Salvation of souls! 

It was kind of funny though. The time for his program was 6 o'clock. Somehow he was there at 3. So he calls us and is like, "where is everyone?"

Uh oh. We were worried that cause of this he wouldn't be able to meet with us. This was after he had already told us earlier that he was super busy. And do to the lack of his English ability we thought he was telling us he couldn't be baptized. 

But we worked everything out and it ended up all good! 

So ts been the Taiwanese Presidential election for the past couple since I've got heres. Anyways I was down on exchanges in 臺東 on voting day which made missionary work a little hard. But we had a good time nonetheless. I was with a native for the day and man Chinese is just hard. 
Anyways. 英文 won. Yes, my friends who speak my Chinese. That is her name. 

Idk why

Anyways, some weird culture things. We've talked about rain before. It's basically the killer of all fun. It's raining outside? All of your lessons cancel. It's raining outside? No members can visit. It's raining outside? Anyone on the street won't talk to you. It's raining outside? Sorry no one is at church. It's raining outside? Cool, this is a perfect time to launch off our fireworks. 

What??? 

Don't tell me you can't meet cause it's raining, and then launch off your fireworks and firecrackers while it's raining. Dang. I just don't get the culture sometimes. Think it has something to do with me being white. I think so. 

Maybe not though. 

Yah life's pretty chill. We just closed out the old apartment and that was an adventure. Spent the whole Pday cleaning. Again. And next week we have to deep clean our current apartment because of Chinese New Year and more asain culture things. This is like the 5th Pday I've spent cleaning. I've spent over half of the Pdays on my mission cleaning. Missionary? More like Missionary Maid. (ooooo alliteration) so yah. I'm kinda done with cleaning. I just want to sleep. Lol. But yah, probably won't have a ton of time for an email next week. May be short. Or maybe I will just write it on Sunday.... Oooooooh

Hope everything's going well for ya'll, (look mom, I used the correct pronunciation. (I got in trouble for just typing yall. So there it is all nice and fixed)) that's going to be it for this week. 

Catch you on the flip side

Elder Baird

Something about Socks! 
More accurately though
Something about Peeing. 
Elder Hughes though, not me. 

So on our way home Thursday night, Elder Hughes really had to pee. So we stopped at a family Mart so he could have that relief. As we stopped we saw a guy sitting outside and so I went and sat next to him and started talking. He wasnt very interested to talk to us but I kind of just forced the conversation anyways. Then we shared Ether 12:6 and he started to open up. We asked when he could meet and he said that he had 10 minutes right then. So we taught him the first lesson and he was way interested and set up again! 

So the scriptures are way powerful. That's my testimony and share for the day. 

They give us power. So use them. Do come follow me. It's an amazing resource and I have already learned so much from going through just the first couple chapters of Nephi again. 

The scriptures are good for you. End of vlog :) 

Also, remember there's a blog now too so you can read at your own leisure!

Pictures!

Also I like just barely as I'm sending this went to a Taiwanese Chiropractor. That was an experience. 

K bye! 

Do you really think that I would really just let you skip my whole email? The answer is no. It's in my email somewhere. Scroll back to the top and read the whole thing. 

Dispicable human beings. 

Skipping to the bottom. 

How could you.
