03/01/2010 - Week 42

Hi family, my week was really good. Elder Lim and I are sticking to it. My birthday turned out really well. Our ward mission leader bought us Chinese food, and Elder Lim bought me a piece of pie. We put the candles in, he sang, and then, we feasted. I ate so much that night. It was good. Also, some of my district members called to wish me a happy birthday. It was kinda nice to have a nice warm birthday for a change. The hoodie is just what I wanted and the GPS is really handy. We have even got our phone bluetoothed to it, just for fun. Oh, and I got my spoon back. Good thing too; I was running out of oatmeal. And HEY, what is that little blue guy doing in there. Well, teaching opportunities... to tell you the truth, it has been about 2 months since we have gotten let in from off the street into someones home. We are still teaching that family. The husband got sick 2 days ago and is in the hospital. Our Elders quorum president and one of his councilers went be to give him a blessing. He is doing ok. He is his cheery self, but has to have some, not too fun, tests done to figure out what he has. Also, we are still kinda working with that Iranian man. Other than that, we do a lot of praying and a lot of wandering around talking to people.
Here is the real news! We are having an unexpected transfer. Elder Lim is going into the Korean Program, today. And, I will be getting a new companion. His name is Elder Pua. He is a huge tongan Elder who has 9 weeks left on the mission. He was in this area before we got here. We will see how it goes.
