Transfers!

Here is Chris' letter from this week.

"Hey everyone! 

This week wasn't too shabby. We were able to give 2 people baptismal goals and they are both pretty solid; one of them is GOLDEN x10. Z DX is starting to care a lot more about baptism and so we gave him a goal and he's looking really good to hit it. We had a lesson yesterday with him (surprise, surprise!) and I used the end of 2 Nephi 2 to say goodbye and was pretty bold (but loving!) about baptism). The other goal is for a Lin DX we met with a month ago; he just got back from a trip to China and finally got to meet with us again. On Saturday we met with him and taught the first lesson and it turns out he's super prepared for the gospel. He's very open and willing and was kinda excited to read the BoM and had no problem accepting a baptismal date. He came to church for all 3 hours yesterday too!

On Saturday we had a Branch BBQ (Kao3 Rou4) for the Mid-Autumn festival. It was super fun. I was asked to cut up about 30 pomelos before it started and finished in 10 minutes and amazed everyone. Lol. People thought it was strange that an American not only did it really fast, but also that he knew the Taiwanese method of cutting them. The bbq was really fun though. They use bamboo charcoal to cook tons of meat (mostly really thin) and vegetables and fish and hot dogs, etc. Everyone sits around a small grill and cooks what they want basically. 

For English on Wednesday we had a mid-autumn festival party. I made no-bake cookies with everyone and when I put the sugar in they all groaned (they don't like sweet things) and only a few people ate more than one. It was really funny to see them take the first bite. American cake, chocolate chip cookies, and most american candy is way too sweet for them. Kinda funny. :)

Anyway, I don't have a ton of time, so I get to the biggest news. Move call came on Saturday. I'm moving South. I'm going to GuiRen which is in TaiNan. Here's a map with DouLiu and GuiRen marked. That's not the best part though; I'm going Senior companion with an Elder W that just finished training. That's still not the best part; I'm also going District Leader. My district has 10 missionaries (2nd biggest in the mission) including 2 Zone Leaders that will attend my District Training Meetings every week...Kinda scary...Wish me luck.

That's about it I suppose! I love you all!
