Hi family!
I'm a little earlier than usual, but Elder S hasn't left
yet and wants to be sure he can email his family today so we're doing it now. I
may or may not be back on again after my new companion gets here (depends if
he's done his emails yet). My new companion will be Elder C. I don't know
anything about him other than he's Taiwanese and possibly speaks a little
English.

B, I hope you have fun at the NaGe ("that".
Pronounced 'nigga' with a Taiwan accent. All the american elders LOVE using
that as much as possible.) They use NaGe for pretty much everything as the
subject of sentences once it's been establish. "I'm going to a concert
tonight!" "I hope you have fun at De NaGe (the that). Bad example,
but still.
The work is going good. We have 8 baptismal goals and 2
of the 3 I've met have been golden! Everyone's been out of town for a Holiday
and everyone's busy getting caught up on work and school from the vacation, so
it's been difficult to meet sometimes; most of our investigators are college
students. H is the same as before since we haven't met since last week;
We had to reschedule and then she rescheduled again to tonight. Right now her
date is May 18th (or whatever the closest Saturday to that is).
With my new companion, I'll be the only English teacher at
our chapel...we have about 25-30 students each week and they're all at various
levels...HOW DO I DO THAT?! I honestly don't know how to even start handling
that...We'll probably need to combine with the other Elders in our district who
teach at a different church (although the jr companion there is Taiwanese, too)
They're fumigating the sewers and apartment complexes
here...We walked outside today and just about died from inhaling the fumes. The
elevator ride down just 13 stories was killer. My respiratory system is
messed up! My nose and lungs are still sore. It's in the air too, so there's no
completely nonpoisonous oxygen to breathe at the moment. Because the
sewers are getting it, there are cockroaches EVERYWHERE outside! Brown and red
ones of all shapes and sizes. SUPER creepy to see cockroaches pouring out of
sewers into the streets...then getting run over my bikes and cars...and eaten
by birds and frogs who will later die from eating the freshly poisoned
bugs...yeah...life is good!
That's it for this week
Love you all
Elder Wolf
