Ohkay, let's be honest. Not a ton happened this week aside from all the normal things. Which is good for you guys because less to read. Good for me because less to write. Sad for you guys because less of me. So you know. Gives and takes.
Now
I have not watched General Conference yet. I am no privileged like the rest of yall. And I will not be watching it until next week. Or I guess this week. I guess it's only 5 days away. I don't know.
I learned a new thing though. You know how a human generally only uses like 7% of their brain? Well I found out that the other 93% is where everything goes when you go on a mission. Cause your brain just gets fried on the mission. And your body. But it's worth it. Gotta go feed them sheep and stuff!
So let's start of with AP exchanges. As you all know or all don't know or some know and some don't the APs are like the top of the missionary food chain. They the boss. Other than the one boss who is the mission president. And then other boss that's the area president. And then the other other boss that's the Prophet. And then of course the other other other boss that is God.
But other than those bosses, the APs are the boss. So I was a little scared to go on exchanges cause I had no clue why we were doing it. And then the exchange happened and I realized that they are just regular missionaries and they don't know what they're doing just like the rest of us.
So that was fun.
But! Their apartment has a BENCH Press!!!! That was very much fun.
Anyways, moving on. Other stuff happened that I'm sure was important but I'm not sure what it was. So we will just not worry about it for now.
Yah, I kind of can't think of....
Oh wait XD the email title!
So yah, you know how we just had a holiday. Well we just had another one as well. And we have one next week. Taiwan likes to celebrate.
But this past week was the lunar festival! So you eat moon cakes and watch the moon and stuff cause that is what you do. But, another important part of the moon festival in Taiwan is BBQ.
And no. It is not American at all.
But everyone has been out grilling the past couple days and the streets just smell like BBQ. Of course Taiwanese style, but cooking meet is cooking meet sooooooo. That's been fun.
We did get invited to a members BBQ and it was pretty good. At least my mouth thought that it was. My stomach had a different opinion. But that is life I would guess.
In fact I think it's just like our spirit and our body. I listened to a talk about the Sermon on the Mount the other day and the guys just talked about how the whole purpose of the Sermon is to just try to help us to put our Spirits in front of our Body. Giving them control.
Just like Elder Ballard's October 2019 General Conference talk. Definitely go listen to that.
But that is why we are here on earth. When we are born we are given bodily instincts. These are important. But in time these can start to cloud our spiritual instincts. So all the things that Jesus wants to improve on and talks about in the Sermon are all ways to improve those spiritual instincts. So take a look at that folks.
Love you muchly folks! Have a good week! Eat some tortilla chips for me. We don't have those here....
