Dear Mom,

Thank you for all that you do!  Send my love to the family and thanks for putting money in my account. These first few moves have been kind of interesting figuring out what I do and do not need. Tell Mo congrats from me. Also are you posting Mormon Messages?  And once again thanks for being my mom.

Alright well this week was pretty cool. So this whole mission I have been struggling with being myself and was becoming this cookie cutter missionary, and forgot who I was. This week I finally remembered who I was. I think I will be able to more effectively help the area now. Hey, I wish I could describe how cool my companion is.  He just keeps teaching me every day and he is so amazing with the spirit.  

So I ate at this really cool noodle place the other night that was all you can eat noodles, and man it was so good!  That is one thing I love about this area whatever you want food wise you can pretty much go down the street and find it.  One of the members in this area is so cool he does  rock sculpture and he has some cool stuff. 

 Well miracle time.  This week we were riding to an appointment and this guy started talking to us on our bikes.  It is usually the other way around, and to our surprise it was a guy from the Book of Mormon night. So we gave him another quick lesson got his number again and confirmed for him to come to church.  Also this week we got names from the bishop so we can start helping the less actives of the area. Oh there have been so many blessings here it’s amazing!

The last thing I would like to mention is I realized why Taiwan has felt so much like home..... It reminds me of Snowbird.  Almost everywhere we go everyone we talk to our apartment the sky the trees the animals the people they remind me of Snowbird.  I think this is the greatest blessing of all that Heavenly Father has literally prepared me for this country my whole life.  And it has reconfirmed my testimony of how important remembering who you are is.  I know that I am a child of God and the blessings He has in store for me are indescribable.  He wants me and you and everyone else to receive these blessings, because we are all his family and he looks after us, and loves us.

Read your scriptures, say your prayers. Trust the Lord, love the Lord.  Trust yourself, love everyone!  Never forget that Jesus Christ is walking beside you and when you fall he picks you up and keeps you going until you can walk again.

 Love,

Elder Green
