Hello beautiful people!

This morning, 5:18, riding to the Internet Cafe I could see the mountains! It was refreshing. I for real need to go hiking. I feel like I've been in Taibei for my whole life. But, I still love it. This past week so many awesome things happened.

On Monday we went to the Zoo! It was pretty great. I still feel way bad for all the animals... But it was pretty fun. Tuesday night we saw a sweet miracle! I turned off a main road to go find a place to pray to start finding. Before we said the prayer there was this Tongxue(student) walking right by us. I started talking to him. Turns out he's been to a Christian Church before! Nice. We taught him an awesome lesson on prayer and the Book of Mormon. We gave him a Book of Mormon and he was stoked! We set up for Sundae(yesterday). Yesterday I called him before our set up time and he told me he was going to bring his mom and little brother to the Chapel to meet with us. I was STOKED! We go to the Chapel and... he never came. I was bummed. O still have faith in him! But we got to meet with a guy named Daniel("Daniel my brother, you are older than me. Do you still feel the pain"). This Daniel is always chillin' at the Chapel because he doesn't really have any friends or any place to be. We're homiez. Yesterday we taught him all about the Restoration. It was a good time.

On Wednesday morning we did a puppet show for an elementary school about Alcohol prevention. I was the Drunk. haha. It was fun. That day we met a crazy man on the street. He was from Portugal and the first thing he said to us was, "let's talk." Then he started telling us how much he hates America and how he goes to Thailand for the prosties. Yeah, that was an experience. I think that is the first time my companion has ever heard anything like that in his life.

Thursday was my year mark!!! Soooooooooooo weird. Time is not real. This literally has been the fastest year of my life. And I know this next one will go even quicker. It was a great year anniversary. Had brownies and vegetarian food for lunch. Then for dinner got chinke'd(free dinner. A Sister Wang bought our dinner)! Then Sister Day gave us more brownies. It was awesome.

I straight up feel like an old missionary. All new missionaries in our zone are super young. Weird thing is, I'm not even that old yet. I'm still a youngling too!

Alright, I've gotta go buy my zaocan(B-fast). I love you all with my whole heart. I will see your beautiful faces soon on the Skypee(how asians say skype).

Love, Elder Relyea
