This week was a pretty good week for contacting people. Elder Ormond is getting more adjusted to missionary life, the culture and language at a pretty good rate so props to him. The tricky part has been exchanging contact info so that we can meet up again. Not a whole lot of people are open to exchange contact info right away, but we'll keep trying!
Elder Stevenson from the Quorum of the 12, Bishop Davies, Elder Gay and our area presidency met with us this past weekend. Elder Stevenson served as a mission president in the Japan Nagoya mission a few years back; it was a pretty cool connection. He speaks great Japanese too!
As we were finding this week, we met a few people from Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Lao, and China. I talked to the people from Thailand and Cambodia with my less-than-mediocre Thai and Khmer. They lit up and started talking real fast. I picked up a bit of what they were saying and tried to respond. After that, I realized that one needs to be familiar with all those cultures and languages before finding in that area. Making me not enough asian haha. It was quite the experience!
Elder Bird is leaving us to be the new tech staff...meaning that his companion Elder Hansen will join us. We'll be a threesome until transfers next week. Another adventure!
Fei and his family!
