This was a good week even though not all that much happened. Jamie, a guy we are teaching, has not been answering our calls. A few days ago there was a baptism. We called people for close to 3 hours and were not able to get anybody to come. The work in this area feels slow. We do a lot of finding on the street. When I started my mission, I hated talking to people on the street, but now I am ok with it.
We did exchanges this week with a missionary named elder Jiang from Taiwan. He is newer. I really enjoyed being with him. Lessons go a lot smoother with a native companion. But no worries. It is safe to say that I can use Chinese for normal communication now. Maybe.
Last week my companion and I went shopping. The issue is that we don't have money, and all of the clothes here are more expensive than the US. But luckily the Lord led us to a super cheap clothes place, and I got some sweaters and shoes.
I would like to get more creative with the finding, but can not think of many good ideas. I welcome your advice.
Until next week
-Elder Andersen
