Hello people that I love.
This past week was great. So much happened. Two investigators we found are so SICK! One set a baptismal date and the other we are meeting with on Wednesday. I have great faith in both of them. The one who set the date is Victor. He is going to Australia in July. He'll get baptized here then go and hang out with Chris for a while. He was so stoked when I told him one of my best friends lives in Sydney. And the other one is Wang Yong Ming. When we met on the street we talked for at least an hour. He is the MAN! All he wants in life is true happiness. I was able to bear my testimony that this Gospel has given me the most happiness. He said he could feel my happiness. He also said my face has the wisdom of a 30 year old. haha. Nice.
I might move this week on Friday. We find out if we move on Wednesday then Friday we find out where we're going then move. I will most likely move because I've been in this area for so long. I've been here for 6 months. Literally half of my mission, including the MTC.
Last night we met with Brother Chen(Sugar Daddy), in his closing prayer he started crying. It broke my heart. I cried a bit, then in his prayer he blessed that my companion will be louder. Haha. Brother Chen is such a special man. If I move, he will be the person I miss the most. I have so much love for this man. He literally is one of my best friends.
That is pretty much it. I still love missionary work, Taiwan, and Taiwanese people.
I love my Saviour, Jesus Christ. He is light of the World.
Heavenly Father loves us.
I love you all.

I know that it is raining but I think we have to walk.
Hello my sweet famareee!!!
It rained literally every single day last week. It was rough. Not seeing the sun for that long. But then, Monday morning, we wake up to go run. Go outside and it is the most glorious, beautiful day! Never been so happy to feel the rays of sunshine! I ran so far that day. 10 laps(on a tiny track). And it has just been getting warmer and warmer. It is definitely feeling like spring. This week, riding my bike, smelling freshly cut grass. It is nice.
I only have two more minutes to write because we get to go to the Temple today! YEAH! I'm stoked. I hope you all loved Conference as much as I did. Once again it was reaffirmed to me that Thomas S. Monson is the Prophet and he is leading this Church. He holds the keys! I love that man, the First Presidency, and the 12 Apostles all so much! They are the men.
The Church is true. Christ lives. Heavenly Father loves us. I'm so happy I get to tell that to people hear everyday. It is the best!
I love you all.
Love,

People that I love, Hello!
This week was good. Tired. But good. Everyday is good. There are good things in every single day. That is what is cool about mission work. Miracles erryday! Yeah!
Everytime I write these e-mails I completely forget what happened the previous week... I apologize. I will write the things I remember.
We found a STUD on monday. His name is Harry. He is a G. He went to a Catholic elementary and junior high, so he already prays. Yeah! We had a great lesson with him on the street. He set up with us for this Friday. I hope this duffer will come. I have found something that happens when we talk to students. They are sick when we find them, we're best friends, then we call them to follow up and either they don't answer or they don't want to meet with us. Makes me sad. Because they need the GOSPEL. But it is all good. Taiwan is full of prepared people.
Right now we are in the spot where all of our best investigators (bestigators) have been baptized... So we're just finding and working with our investies we already have. The ones we already have either have been meeting with us for a super long time or there is no way they can come to Church. It is frustrating sometimes. But, Heavenly Father will help them. No doubt. In my mind.
This past Saturday there was another wedding. Sang again. My voice didn't crack this time. "Just when I think you couldn't get any dumber, you go and do something like this... and TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!"
I love you all with my whole heart. Don't forget it! Thank you for your love and support. Go have the best week of your lives! I hope you all had an awesome Easter and April Foolz.
Love, Elder Relyea
