>Thank you Mama! Once again you are the only sender. I really appreciate your efforts - I know that you are busy. If I don't get an email, like a said last week, it's not a big deal - I just probably wont have a lot to say if I have nothing to respond to. Every week though I do write into my planner things that I think of to mention to you all on pday (I hope I'm not really picking up that horrible american slang, "y'all"), so I'll start with those.

>First, Talsan. Congratulations to you and Alicia! I wish I could be there with you. I'm glad that Mama and Papa will be...it will be nice for all of you

>Lanzer. Congrats again on the job. …

>Here in Hualien I've been on TV! We have started to do a free carwash/service thing at our chapel (every Tues - at least for now) and I was on the street with a sign and asking/inviting people to get their car washed and some news station found out and filmed us. The next day, this guy I always buy bread from said that he saw me on TV. He said I looked very handsome...so I think it must have been someone else:)

>The free advritising didn't help much because yesterday we had no more cars than we did the week before. Every customer has been because of our own hard work. We've been able to set most of them up to be taught as well - which is the whole idea.

>Last Wednesday, the four elders from our group went bowling. I didn't bowl great, but it was great fun.

>Last week we did another service project for a mother of two sisters in our church - the mother isn't a member. We "holtz troggened"! Basically carrying from the stoney patch to the side of the house, but this was no Toronto woodpile. I have now seen the biggest spiders, cockroaches and centipieds(apparently leathal) that I've ever seen - even on TV. Not only the biggest, but the most. Also a snake that was also apparently deadly. It got away though. The centepieds though, the Mama jabbed over and over with the wood (we only came across two) until they finally stopped moving. Then with two pieces of wood she'd pick them up and walk them off the property. One time I was freaked out by a huge spider and was pointing at it. Mama came over, picked it up with her bare hand, and walked it away to place it in the grass somewhere else. I couldn't believe it! There were hundreds of cockroaches, and many of them were more than a couple of inches long (and almost as wide). There were also some big strange looking bugs that I had never seen. Anyway, I'm alright....but a little scared:) …

>I think we watch General Conference next week because of the time difference. I know it's not that much difference, but we watch the recording a week later.

>Danke again for everything. ...

Thanks. Love you. Bye.
