Chris wrote that "It's heckin' P-Day!"...which is what the group says when Tuesdays roll around. This post is called "Shen me Dong xi!" which means "What the heck" in Chinese.
Chris is having a hard time coming up with new things to tell us each week in his e-mail. He says that not a lot changes from week to week. His e-mails are always quick because he only gets about 30 minutes a week on the computer...at the same time he is doing laundry.
However, Chris has been sending a weekly e-mail and a written letter too, so the written letter usually has more meat in it...mainly because he can take time to write them.
This week he told us that their district is beta testing using Skype to teach real people in Taiwan. Only the 11 Elders in his district are doing it. Basically they each do either two 20 minute lessons or one 40 minute lesson every Monday.
Also this week, the older half of the missionaries going to Taiwan left. So they are now the senior group there. One side effect of all the missionaries leaving is that 2 of Chris' roommates will be going to a new room. So now there will only be 4 in his room.
Chris has seen a lot of the other Elders from our area while in the MTC. We have a great group of men in the mission field right now.
The highlight of the week was that Chris acknowledged that his parents actually had an impact on him! (go figure!) It is nice to see him maturing and seeing beyond himself...he is changing and growing already!
He did issue us a challenge this week...we are to learn how to spin pens around our thumbs! Should be interesting....
