Still a Zone Lobster

Hey everyone!
This week was a good week loaded with all sorts of food:
Run4 Bing2: This is the real version of the eggroll. It's a chewy
tortillaish wrapper with vegetables, meat and all sorts of little
seasonings in it (the best is the peanut stuff). It feels much
healthier than an American style eggroll, tastes better and is
cheaper. I give it 4.5 taiwanese "is better"s out of 5.
Hamburger Gai4 Fan4: This was possibly one of the sickest things that
I have ever found. There's a place on a college campus that sells this
thing and I felt like I had to try it out the second I saw it. They
serve you a big bowl of rice with curry on it, vegetables and various
other things, but the best part is they put this big huge hamburger
patty with cheese on the top of it all. It's like a real American
hamburger, seasoned in the American way. The mix of the two (burger
and curry) is a little like burgers, noodles and gravy Taiwanese
style. It's amazing. 4.5 burger baby bump bellies out of 5.
Zui4 Ji1: This is literally translated as drunken chicken. It was
good. The flavor was nice and light with a touch of sourness from the
vinegar and a touch of sweet from the wine sauce it was cooked in.
Sadly, I'm too inebriated from eating it to even tell you what it
rates.

Verbatim:
Is it the itch you gotta scratch? The dump you gotta take? (both me)
The stone you gotta pass? (Elder Kasparian)--Regarding the need to see
the move call sheet.
Sounds like a great idea. I'm going to go talk to this lady. (In
english) "HEY LADY!"--Elder Kasparian

This week we had a lot of miracles. One night as I was praying and
accounting for the next days plans to Heavenly Father, the impression
came that we were supposed to go to She4zi3 not to Da4Zhi2. It was
really shocking to me because we had made hours of plans already, but
the next morning I kept praying and the feeling was the same. We ended
up doing it and were rewarded for following the prompting. In just a
few hours we were able to find so many new investigators it was
insane. One of them, and Chen dx came to church with us and is looking
really good. Another instance where I was prompted to say something
was while we were in a rush to drop something off and I saw a kid
smoking on a bench. The thought came to talk to him and I went a
little bit without doing it then turned around and talked to him. I
asked if he wanted to stop smoking. He said yes but he had no clue how
to do it. I told him the gospel would help. He eagerly set up a time
to meet with us. It was so cool because I don't really ask people
about their smoking or anything. I know that the Holy Ghost is with
everyone who has been baptized and confirmed. All you have to do is
listen for him.
Love,
Elder Siebert
