Dear Mom,
I am so happy that the family is doing well. Tell each of the girls I love them and that they are doing great!  It sounds like they are all doing really well.  Remind them to keep reading the Book of Mormon and to write me about what they have read recently even if I won’t get it for a while.
Elder B. is awesome. He is 6'5, loves basketball was a swimmer in high school is one of four boys in his family lived in Los Angeles, California, and has the ability to immediately have a smile and the spirit with him whenever he needs it. I look up to him a lot. He is teaching me a great deal about many things.
Well, where to begin for this week?  So I’m continuing to street contact, that’s super fun! The people over here really admire English and American culture so things are a lot more Americanish than I expected. The mission just changed their outline of the English class we have once a week and it is awesome! Hopefully it will increase the work by tenfold. Oh also, like I was told, the girls over here like blonde white guys but man It's getting almost a little ridicules. It’s actually really funny I can understand a lot more than people think I can, but I just can’t say it back so people tell me things and then they’ll laugh and I'll just laugh inside because I know what they said.
Our apartment is really good actually we are up high so we don’t have any cockroaches or mosquitos yet. Plus we have Chinese New Year coming up and one of the traditions is super clean, and President said that we need super clean, so we will be doing that next week. I tried seaweed wraps this week and it was supper good I had the duck one and oh yeah they are good.  Also, I found a pot sticker place that did pot stickers for 4 kuai which the ratio is 30kuai to one U.S dollar. And I finally met my match I couldn’t down something the other day, it was a cold soup of some sort and it tasted good but my stomach was a about to explode. And I had something called a candy wax apple and a wax apple is a fruit over here that tastes like a watered down watermelon in apple form. And then they lace it with sugar, super good.  I will send pictures as soon as I can.
  So I was super happy we got a former this week that is super interested he is catholic currently and he came to church. It was so cool!  He likes it and wants to come back and everything. I’m a little worried that some of our investigators will get lost over New Year’s. But the Lord will pull them through I know. We also were trackting the other night and we knocked on a door and nothing, so we moved on.  Just as we were about to head home someone came out and said hey “Americans what you selling?” in Chinese of course.   So we gave them a pamphlet and set up an appointment for after New Year’s. I also got to review the plan of salvation with one of our investigators that have a baptismal date. We are really working on the less actives in this area because there are over 500, so we are trying to make progress on that.
  Well Thank you for your prayers family I don’t know if you remember this but I was promised in the setting apart prayer that I would feel your love and know that you are kneeling down and praying with me and for me.  I know this to be true I have felt it. And I have used ever last bit of strength from each prayer to the next to do the Lord’s work, so keep up the good work. I never get tired of teaching people because every time I do I fell the spirit and feel it working in my life and theirs. This work is for the Lord. It’s hard it’s tiring its long it tries your patience. But the Lord called me to do it, and in all honesty I have learned more already than I thought I ever could.  And I know without a doubt in my mind that Heavenly father loves me and is helping me , giving me a hug when I need one  Giving me comfort when I need comfort.  I am grateful that I have the knowledge that if I endure to the end and keep doing the Lords work I can have eternal life.  A promised blessing for prayer is comfort, so I invite everyone who reads this no matter where you are or who you are to pray right now and ask Heavenly Father for comfort.  Read your scriptures say your prayers, trust the Lord, love the Lord, trust yourself love everyone. Love Elder Green
