Finally someone gets wet!

Hey everyone!
I know that there are a lot of foods that I tried for the first time,
but I can't remember a lot of the them. Oh!
Kimchi Beef: Kinda spicy and sour, but the beef is a little darker in
flavor, so it balances rather well. 4 barely balanced bovine out of 5.

Verbatim: "Dobby is FREED!" --me on discovering a pair of socks under
the sheets in Elder Thatcher's bed.
"Wow, that was like a clod of poo up my nose." --me on Elder
Kasparian's flatus during WPS.
"Do you realize how creepy half the stuff we say would be in the
states?" --me on contacting methods.
"He dropped the game ball" -- Elder Kasparian on the failure of some
of our missionaries to get us the info we needed.
"We have realized that if you are lost, all you need to do to find
your way is to focus on the NORTH STAR!" --me in Jilong district
meeting
"Hey mister, your shoes are very handsome. We have a free english
class"--me, aforementioned creepiness

This week I have spent a lot on how to get the Zone getting the vision
and came up with the "North Star". Basically, I used my notes from ZL
council and noticed over and over again that the main message I got
was valiantly using time. I noticed too that this was the biggest
change in my work. I looked at that and realized that the way that was
taught to us by president and the assisants was the focus on goals
before plans. I formulated a little bit of training for the zone to
share in all our DM so that the rest of the zone can know how to use
that process to be real missionaries and not just busy doing
missionary things. It has gone very well. We presented it in Tianmu
and also the Jilong districts. It wasn't received too well in Tianmu.
The district wasn't really willing to listen and pay attention, so I
don't know if it will get implemented with them, but the Jilong
district wrote down my "power phrase": "let the goal decide the
action" and also the heiarchy of goals: vision to goals to direction
to plans to action. It was really exciting to see them get the gears
turning and "get it"!

Yesterday I got to meet with one of our investigators Chen Zhi4
Gang1. He is doing so well and is a great blessing. He wants to learn
and learns slowly, but once he's got it, he doesn't forget and doesn't
get mixed up. It's great and it feels so nice to have someone who
appreciates what we share so much.

I love you all and am out of time!
