Hey Mom, it was crazy this week because it really is a true white wash. All we have are the members and the streets, because we don't have an area book and our phone is new everything is new. 

Well hello everyone,

Man it’s crazy, this week has literally flown by! First off love you all!

Okay now we can get started.  I live in a four man apartment.  It is me and Elder B. and Elder K. and Elder K. who is training. So it is pretty much like The Best Two Years, except we are all going crazy working hard!

The Puli area is probably the most beautiful area in all of Taiwan it is also probably one of the biggest areas. We have about three secondary areas that take about an hour to get to and every small house that is in between. The mountains are beautiful!

I would ask you to please pray for the Puli area the branch here has people that have forgotten what it feels like to feel the spirit so please pray that these people will have an experience and remember and strive to come to church.

This week I really felt like I was on a mission.  We planned an entire morning to go visit a recent convert on the top of a mountain, literally, and we are talking mountains too!  It was so much fun to go do that, and see this man’s faith when we got up there. That was some real mountain biking!  Anyway we have an investigator our first week here. He is so cool his name is Qiu.  Please pray for this man to read the scriptures and say his prayers. He has so much faith, he just needs to confirm it.  Also I was reminded of something this week that was really special.  I got to go home teaching with some ward members and the man we visited was one of the most spiritual people I have ever met. It was a great reminder that the most important thing when it comes right down to it is the gospel. And, it helped me remember that Heavenly Father is literally always watching you and looking after you.  So do His work, make Him proud and gain the prize He has in store for you at the end. Endure to the end no matter what trial your going through, keep going!  You can make it!  Heavenly Father wants you to make it!  Rely on him. Keep going don’t give up. I know he is there for you and he wants you to succeed. Read your scriptures, say your prayers.

Love,

 Elder Green
