I love all the mail that I'm getting and i really enjoyed the chips and dip i got last night , I ate half the cheese dip by myself haha it was soooo good. . the district above us just left, district 39 B just left and they were like the coolest people ever. I miss them already, me and my companions went at 4 AM to go wave good bye in the parry fashion. I miss you guys at home, and I hope things continue to go well. the bag merylanne got me is awsome too make sure to tell here thanks. the pants from the book store are really comfortable. thanks sisters. one of my companions Elder Willes has been pretty sick too so we've been going to the doctor pretty often, but I think that is ending pretty soon. My chinese is getting way better, I talk with the teachers here in complete chinese because they arent supposed to use english, so it is really cool to be able to talk with someone who is fluent in something youve only been speaking for 3 straight weeks. my companions are progressing at an alarming rate too. I love all the post it notes I think I found all of them by now, but who knows. I dont have much to say other than I'm incredibly tired, working hard, trying to learn all I can and be the best servant of the Lord I can be. Lately Ive been keeping a small note pad with small spiritual experiences in it and spiritual thoughts. the one from last night I got was, "Patience is being willing to give up our desires for a short time to wait for something better." I keep them short and simple. but in that short sentence you can grasp a new concept of patience and have the faith that something else will come that you never expected. Something similar happened yesterday in that me and my companions wanted to pick up an extra investigator to teach, but we ran out of time to do that, but I told my compnanion Elder Willes that if he really wants it to happen, it will, so we went in and ate lunch and as we came out we started talking to a gold tag investigator and set up a time to meet with him today at 1. and we get to teach the gold tag in ENGLISH so it will be so much better than our other lessons. I memorized the first vision this week in complete chinese and it only took me an hour which is pretty remarkable being that I have no memory what so ever. I love it here and I'm singing bass in the choir which is so much fun. Any way, I hope you all get my letters soon, and Mom I love you.
Your missionary,
Elder Dexter
