>Sound's like it's a little colder in Toronto than here in Hualien. It's funny, almost without fail, everytime I tell someone that I'm from Canada they say, "Canada's very cold isn't it?" I used to try to explain that it's not so very cold, but I've given up on that. A simple yes will do. ...

>I will try to remind you about any p-day changes in advance. Our zone conferences are held at our Hualien chapel, so I and 9 others travel by bicycle, while the rest of the zone (about 24 - the smallest of the 9 zones in the mission) travel here by train. I haven't travelled by train yet, but I probably will in about three weeks - who knows though? Wer weiss?

>Papa's third letter did arrive. The tournament of champions sounds exciting this time with the inclusion of the great Ken Jennings. ...

>Lanzer, what's this Mama says about a new job? What is it? Let me know.

...

>Funny that you just finished the Book of Mormon - I just finished it this morning! I had started at the MTC, and was going through somewhat slowly and underlining all the scriptures that stuck out most to me.

>You say you owe me a picture of me on my motorcycle - which would be nice - but what I really need is one of the family (or one's of the families). ...

>Other than all that, everything is still going good. It's strange how things can go from seemingly perfect to nothing going right within a very short time. People appear to be so enthused and ready to make the covenant and then something goes wrong. I will remain positive and trust in the Lord. Danke for all your prayers and love. I love you all. Bye.
