FINALLY

okay everyone sorry it has been so long since i have posted the big ol news on me... lets just say im still alive!!! okay story time.... well ill be leaving one inappropite story out.. you can ask my dad to tell you bout it... i only felt appropiate telling him... so one day me and my comp were runniing late to a RC recent converts house... and we are booking it... and if you dont know already traffic is crazy here....well actually there is no traffic becuase everyone does what they want... i mean the people on the streets are crazy... especially the bus drivers!!!! so were booking it and this bus pulls over to pick people up and his mirriors almost take my comps head off, and i see this from behind and start laughing for some reason lol so the bus stopped at the stop and i didnt want to go on the left side of him becuase cars wereing wizzing by so i went on the right side following the path where my comp almost got anaililatted and for some reason i thought i would be totaly fine to follow him becuase the bus was stopped now... but i had a feeling dont go that way... but i ignored it and pedal my hardest... i thought i was okay becuase i didnt see anyone getiing on the bus... but then i remebered at the last second ... "why on earth would the bus be stopping then?????" and SMACK i took out a fat dude stepping of the bus... ( and i thought to myself oh yeah people get off the bus too) im so stupid lol...... i got him right in the inner thigh, knocked him to the ground... good thing i have been doing lots of push ups lattely, cuz i think thats what kept me on my bike... or maybe it was the fact that i hit a 300 pound pool of jello>>> ( calling people fat here is okay) so he fell to the ground and made weared noises... maybe he was cussing me out... but a soon as he saw i was american his attitude changed... he got nicer :) i tried to think of words to say to him... but was to embarressed... i almost just left him there, but then remebered i have this black thing of plastic over my heart, so i stayed and took the stares from all people on the street sidewalk and in the bus!!! si i said ni okay ma? ( are you okay) he said yes, so i shook his hand and took off! and began the ride of shame! i was all alone, my companion had no clue what just happened... i was lost in one of the bussiest cities in the world.... but just kept riding.. then heard a whistle, and say my comp....

well thats that story! last pday i went to the 101 tower and walked around then sat in a massage chair foir half an hour.. it felt so good. we joked around and were like oh no im getting a massage lol.. becuase we have some missionaries in the mission that sneak out and get real massages... the president knows and told everyone not to so we think its funny to say we got massages. i aslo took pictures so thats good! that same day we didnt eat breakfast or dinner, because we went to all you can eat pizza hut! was the bomb!!!! its 250 kuai and we just sat there for 2 hours eating pizzzzaaaaa and chicken aanndddd apple pie pizza and amazing brownies... today im going to the zoo, i hope i get some bomb diggidity pics! well life in the mission is good! i talk to almost everyone i see but have a hard time speaking the languege.... they dont understand me alot off the time...( oh that just felt good... sweat from my arm pit just dripped and slide all the way down my stomach hahhahahh) but yeah the language is tough... i can hold an okay conversation but my vocab only consist of gospel things so its hard to unerstand what they say to me... when i dont understand... i testify... well actually i need to work on that more... i do it in lessons but the street needto testify more.... its hard to contact at stop lights... but i feel good doing it! we should be seeing a coulpe baptisms this transfer! so thats the goo ol news on me... food is good life is good, and im becoming the person i and God want me to be!

i love you all and Congrats to randy on being the first elder brunson to die... so far we just need to kill 2 more,, and then well have more... and congrats to james... on being the frist of his XING (last name) to die... i loove you all and hope you are Keeping the commandments....

Just Some Pictures

This is a picture of his district outside the Temple

This is his "first time in a car with a midget" haha This is also the same guy you started yelling during the baptism.

And this is a building that they randomly built. He said that he's heard there's nothing in it.

haha Kyle Calls Himself Elder Brunson #3

well we only ended up with one baptism this week... we have two girls... one 23 and one 16 waiting on there parents to let them get baptized here.... everyone is so buddist her... and they aren't all nice people... alot of people dont say hi to me at alll when i say hi... its cuz they know what im all about lol WORK ! well the baptism that we did have was hilarious and mad me mad at the same time lol, our investigater got baptized 3 times lol... and the midget in our ward who wasnt a witness... walked up there anyway and kept screaming in chinese... your doing it wrong your doing it wrong.... the church is alittle different here.... they say good afternoon in sacrament then the whole ward responds.... and other things.... like this past week a member of the bishopric was on his phone at the stand during sacrament meeting.... i just wanna go to pulpit, and announce " if you guys really want to feel the spirit, put away all your dumb phones, and start thinking about why we really are here!!! to remember our Savior!" well today im going to the temple.... thats why im emailing so early :)

Email my dad Was supposed to forward me but didn't.... FEEL GUILTY DAD?

so the flight was 14 and half hours from LA to taiwan, then when we got there we went to bed and woke up in the morning and then lived the life of a taiwanese, i probly got 2 hours of sleep tht night. i meet my trainer friday (taiwan time) then traveled 3 hours to our area by bus... zhudong is the name... my trainers name is elder waters, he is from idaho and reminds me so much of andrew klish, so far i like him... i hope he likes me lol

i love it here becuase its different and people are crazy on the roads.. at the stop lights they have a count down so people race at the lights when we take off. mopeds drivers are crazy here they go in every direction, i have only almost been hit by a bus once.. so so far I'm doing great lol lol... my first day in taiwan, i dan jonesed it it was pouring rain and i went in a cross walk and yelled the truth and my testimony to the people on the mopeds( picture a super-cross race where they line up to start behind the gate.. then turn on the rain, and stand infront of the riders bearing you testiomony...to the riders, then youll know what it is like) :)... while another missionary passed out phamplets... .

the food is relly good here! when i got to my area i had to sleep on the floor becuase there was only two beds and my trainers companion didnt leave till today.. so now i get a bed:) i don't have to sleep with the cock roaches on the ground now.. so thats good:) we wipe our butts with tissue papper here... its a little harder, becuase the slices are so small, but the plus side is they are soft:) the showers in the bathroom dont have a tub.... they have a drain in the center of the bathroom, so when you shower you get the water everywhere. the toilets always soaking wet because of that...

ummm the bad thing that has been killing me since saturday, is the bike i have, they didnt get me my new one becuase they werent in yet... im suppose to get it tody.... the bike i have been riding has a flat tire in the back, and the bike is half the size it should be, the gears skip all the time... i have been so sweaty when we go anywhere becuase i have to put 10 times the effort in my pedals to go half the speed of my trainer.... he just barely tried my bike today for about ten seconds lol and said... man your bike does suck...lol so yeah the bike has been kicking my butt, but it helps me sleep at night so thats fine and dandy...

We taught like 12 lessons so far sense i been in my area, and it feels to me like were gonna have 3 baptisms this month.. but what do i know lol... i only been here 3 days in my area... my chinese is so bad, i cant understand anything lol i so i just baer testimony in the lessons, but now thats its only me and my trainer ill be teaching as well :) im a little nervous but not to worried, becuase the lord will provide, because I'm being obedient, this is his work, he wont let it go bad, as long as im doing what i need to be doing.

(HAHAH SO THIS IS AUBREA. I WENT THROUGH THE EMAIL AND SPELL CHECKED A BUNCH OF STUFF BUT I'M GOING TO LEAVE THE LAST ONE THERE "SPEELL CHECK" HAHA)
