We saved christmas

The 4 missionaries here put together a christmas play loosely based on "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" called "How the Missionaries Saved Christmas".

As you can probably guess, in the play the Grinch is contacted at a stoplight after stealling everyones presents by missionaries and is taught the gospel and afterwards returns all the presents and stuff.

This picture is the house we made for the play. It's made out of those foam things usually used for floors in play rooms. The play was really funny. Never acted in Chinese before.

The view from the tallest building in Kaohxiong

....only half way up though.

The Kaohxioung 85. Pretty cool.

Ate lunch there. Was tasty.

Merry Christmas everyone.

There's nothing cooler than...

....my new area, penghu, an island somewhere between China and Taiwan. mostly because the wind is feirce! We ride bicycles, but most of the time we're just struggling against the wind to stay on our path. It's a little bit like a typhoon, but everyday. Also sometimes little bits of sand are mixed with the wind and hurt a little bit. You could say it's almost like an epic struggle between Good and Evil. (see Helaman 5:12) Luckily us missionaries are built upon the Rock of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, so we don't fall over off our bikes. (if you don't get this, read that scripture.) heh.

Also, chirstmas is coming. I hope everyone can avoid focusing on gifts, unless you're focusing on giving them, to spread the christmas spirit. Happy Christmas, in case I forget to write again.

It's pretty odd that I fly a plane on my mission, it just never occured to me that I might be flying in a plane on my mission. I guess all of my previous thoughts have been changed a little bit. Except dogs, dogs all around the world love missionaries.

Also, there's nothing cooler than being a missionary, remember that. (see picture included)

hmmm, yeah.

And feel free to admire that picture, especially the amazingly good looking weather.
