Tell me where the toy room IS.TELL ME! You won't talk will you? Well, we have methods for that. (opens microwave)
Well hello one and all! All of my 帥 friends out there I hope you are having a better day than I am! Because better than great is good! Or is gooder than best great... I get my English messed around these days.
Anyways, it's an email.
Woo 
Who would've thought.
But it is!
It's like we did this a week ago...
Then the week before that...
And then 2 weeks after that we will do it again....
I'm convinced that missions don't end.
Lucky for you guys that means you will never stop reading the neverending onslaught of nonsense from my hands touching my phone keyboard! Woot! It's your lucky day!
Or..... Should I say life.....
(of course... There's always My way... Mwhahahaha)
(pretend that the sentance above the one above this is said in the same way as the guy who says the sentance above this one)
Well, on Tuesday we had Zone council. This is when everyone gets together and we learn about all the things we suck at and try to get better.
So I learned about a lot of things that I suck at and things I want to improve. but... In all honesty it just kind of made me super depressed. It was just kinda like, wow I suck I wish I knew how to get better.
I've just felt like I've been being held back this transfer. By my language, companion, energy, knowledge, everything! It's made me feel kinda down about myself.
But, that puts me in leagues with the Prophets.
"1 O that I were an angel, and could have the wish of mine heart, that I might go forth and speak with the trump of God, with a voice to shake the earth, and cry repentance unto every people!
2 Yea, I would declare unto every soul, as with the voice of thunder, repentance and the plan of redemption, that they should repent and come unto our God, that there might not be more sorrow upon all the face of the earth.
3 But behold, I am a man, and do sin in my wish; for I ought to be content with the things which the Lord hath allotted unto me" (Alma 29)
All I want to do is be good. But sometimes that's not what God wants for us. I wouldn't be learning anything out here if I weren't struggling. So I've really had to learn how to accept the will of God. Accept that right now I need to learn patience and charity.
So one of the things we learned about in zone Conference was that we should be using the pamphlets. I didn't know this. But they're basically little teaching tools that are really nice! But I thought they weren't that important so I've never used them before and then it was like "if you aren't using these you are a terrible missionary.
But I didn't know how to and that was that.
Another thing they talked about was all about miracles. And I was like, where are my miracles. I'm working as hard as I am able to. I am obeying all the rules. But nothing. So where are mine?
I mean know they are there, but where? What do I need to be looking for?
And so I kind of left feeling dejected to some degree. But it was good knowledge!
So the next day I studied the pamphlet. And I was like, okay this is cool, but whatever.
Then, I went to the dermatologist. After alllllll of the people telling me I was dying and to try their magic soap, I went to the doctor.
They looked at me.
Gave me drugs.
And told me to comeback in a week.
So now I have random drugs from random Taiwanese doctors. It was literally less than 3 minutes. So.... We will see.
Then we had a member visit with some super awesome members and they were great and fed us goooood food.
Then while we were talking... *insert subject line here*... A mirac.... An earthquake!
My companion flipped out and it was way funny. He doesn't like them very much. But it was small and nothing even broke so not worth it.
Typhoons though... That will be fun!
Anyyywayyssss. Enough about natural disasters... Let's talk about man made disasters! Like the Corona virus!
Nothings happening here. So no problems here. I'm not even wearing a mask it's that chill here. My prayers go out to all my missionary friends who are suffering from this! Hang in there McKay!
So then rolls around Friday. That's not the correct Grammer. The problem is I can't ever correctly Grammer in Chinese. And now not in English. That's very much hard. Too much money man. MONEY MAN!
So we had a lesson with a guy I had met like a week earlier. And we hadn't met with him yet and we were like okay... Let's use the pamphlet...
But we had never used it and I was low key terrified.
But it's only cause I wasn't trusting God. That's why I was scared. In all honesty.
So on the way to the lesson I was just praying the whole time. I was going to use it exactly how we had learned and do. And so I was just praying that we would have the spirit.
And so we got there. And we started the lesson and we used the pamphlet, and the spirit was soooo strong!
And then we asked him to pray about if what we said was true. And he did. AND HE FELT IT! He said that he felt it and then he set a Baptismal date!!! Wooooot!
So I'm super excited about him! We will see what happens! It was such a big miracle!
It was way cool to see that when we trust God things happen.
Yah that's my miracle moment! It was great!
Also that's basically my week.... Nothings really happened. Gotta love it!
Anyways, that's about it!
Hope that everything is going great for you guys! Please send me emails :) like please... Thanks!
Love you all!

Something about socks!
A verse from....... Come Follow Me! It's also kind of fitting I think...
"23 For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith."
FAITH!!
Have faith my friends!
If you don't feel like you've got faith? Well. Get some. Do the things that will help you develop it! Like prayer. Reading scriptures. Going to church. But, it's gonna be good for you! Keep it up! Love yall.
