Amy here.. We are a little delayed with this post from last week as we were on a cruise.  There will be a new post tomorrow as well.

Wow it sounds like it is really busy at home. I and elder Bee are working hard. It sounds like Brett’s sealing was awesome. Tell him congrats for me. I know Brannon is doing awesome where he is if you could, could you get me Jordan, Drew, and Brannan's, address so I could write them a letter.  Also yes I have written letters so hopefully you all will get them soon. Tell Jaime hello and to keep working hard. That is so cool. Also tell Mo congrats again. Good luck on your cruise and have fun you and dad deserve it!

 Alright so I just finished my first move call. And man what an experience pretty much took everything I learned these past 19 years. Rolled them up into about seven weeks and that’s about how my first move call went. I was re-learning and remembering and applying what I have learned and learning new stuff to. Move calls are usually every 6 weeks but because of the influx of missionaries we had a mini move call for three weeks this move call. And we just found out that I and elder bee will be together for three move calls because of that, so cool!  Well interesting food for the week cow intestine and honestly the taste is rather good it’s just really chewy. And they have seafood pizza so good! 

 Next I would like to thank everyone for their prayers in general and the language specific ones. I am happy to report I finished all 5 of my tests and I have my sixth one Thursday. So I am super excited! It really humbled me to go through this process learning the language learning what I need to learn and what I need to work on and also being humble to take correction. Well on another note my basketball skills have been improving slowly. Elder Bee likes to take a few minutes on our run days and shoot some hoops part of our work out. The temperature is increasing every day and honestly it doesn’t feel hotter than a Utah summer but we’ll see what happens. The only difference is everything is wet. It’s weird.

Alright so miracle this week me and Elder Bee both had a feeling that we needed to go over to the college the other day and look for service. So that’s what we did. We helped an ice cream man for a little bit that we have started to befriend. And then as we were riding we saw a former investigator and set up a time with her it was awesome. But this week I really have to say I was severely humbled and remembered how much you need to rely on the Lord and keep learning. I hope if any of you get a chance to keep watching the Mormon message videos that are posted on my Facebook. Or you can find them at lds.org Mormon message videos. I have started to learn so much and my language is really progressing. And I know without a doubt in my mind it is because of Heavenly Father and his love for me. And I also know without a doubt in my mind the Jesus Christ our big brother died for each one of us and suffered individually for the mistakes and sins that we have made in this life. All for the reason that he wanted us to obtain eternal life and get back to the kingdom of Our Father to live with Him and our families once again for time and all eternity. Read your scriptures, say your prayers. And never forget that you are a child of God the things you can do are un-listable!

Love, Elder Taft Green Lin2 zhong3lao3
