Mostly because of exchanges
But also I moved.
Also it wasn't my bike
Just the bike I was using on exchanges.
See video
So I still don't actually know what my situation is but I'm all packed up and still at the mission office. I will most likely be staying in the office for now which I am way excited for. Which means that right now I am using the office computer to type this! YAAY. Your boi is back on the computer. It feels a little foriegn but that's okay. It is a lot faster than my phone.
Anyway lets's start off with Tuesday. I had an exchange. It was lit.
Wednesday. Had an exchange. It was lit. Also had a super dope Halloween party.
Thursday. Had an exchange. It was lit.
Friday. Finished my first exchange and then had a WPS and then went on another exchange.
Saturday. Finished the exchange and then had dinner with a member! Love this family!
And then Sunday we had church and I packed
President told me on Saturday that I did have to pack cause we weren't sure so I just spent a lot of time doing that.
Then we went to the fireside with the famous YouTuber and I played the piano and it is on Facebook if you want to watch it and it went very well!
Until the last note.
For my music theory friends out there (I think that's only the jazz peeps!) I was supposed go end on a C major chord. 1 in the bottom hand and 1351 in the top.
But instead of my beautiful fantastic C chord finale. I played a C/D chord 
so yes technically it was a Csus2 chord and yes Csus2 chords do sound good if they revolve. But never would you ever want to play a C/D chord especially as your final note. Becuase it can't resolve anywhere.
And so as I hit that final note and was like 'yes that was pretty good' I heard the dissonance in the chord and looked down only to find that my left hand had landed solidly on the C.
Oh well.
Yah. Now I am with the office elders I think. Their house doesn't have room for 5 people though so I'm living out of my suitcases for the next 3 weeks. Liiiiiiiiiiit. It's whatever. I'm way hyped!
Hm.... Yah that's about it. Don't have that much time either.
Love you all!

Something about socks
So the spirit is pretty cool. It can make our weaknesses strengths. For example. After my spectacular ending of my song, I had people come up to me and want to take pictures 
but one girl was like, "that gave me a testimony!" and I was like. Wow. That's pretty crazy.
And it wasn't me or my song that did that. But it was the spirit.
It's like that so much as a missionary. My Chinese is not very good, but for some reason people still meet with us. And it's because they feel the spirit. Not because of anything we do!
Ether 12:27 says it the best! We've all got weaknesses because God gave them to us, but through his help and his spirit they can be used for good! I may be a dull tool, but as long as I'm in the Lord's hands he is still able to use me! And He can use you too!
So let yourself be used by the Lord. Let Him turn your weaknesses into your strengths, cause that's what he does!
Love you allllll!
