Hi Family,

I have to apologize for getting this email out so late, but today has been a crazy day. Fun, but crazy.

So, last Friday, we taught an an investigator named Ke Guo Lin. He has been taught for a while now, and he is pretty much ready to be baptized, but because of his work schedule, he hasn't been able to come to church the last time that is required to be baptized. He is coming this week and is going to be baptized next Saturday though, so WOO!

But anyways, I had heard about this guy a lot from Elder Watson. He is a health nut! Apparently, he was like Taiwan's top triathlete 3 years ago or something. He is kind of a big deal I guess. But this guy is the most Shuai guy I've ever met. (Shuai (pronounced Sh-why) means just like awesome, well-dressed, and other compliment type things). So, anyways, after the lesson, he asked if this coming P-Day we could go with him to Tainan, which is about an hour or so south of our area. He wanted to take us to his work and stop by the beach and stuff. So we got permission and we went with him this morning to Tainan. As he said, we stopped at the beach for a few minutes and took some pictures (which I will attach.) After that, we went and ate some lunch, some dumplings in some kind of soup, (really good!) After that, he took us to his work. He works at this place called Amway, I'm sure you're familiar with it. Apparently it's a big company. So, we took the WHOLE tour of the building. He was showing us their products, the history of the company, how he got involved, and what the company does and stuff. So, three hours later, we had pretty much gotten to know Amway. It's all about like a healthy lifestyle. It specializes in nutrition, beauty, and some other stuff. But it is cool. Some of their stuff is pretty pricey though. But it is legit. There isn't a catch or anything, just high quality stuff. Anyways, it was a super cool place. After that, we drove home. We took a scenic route, so it took a while to get home. But now I am here emailing you. And that is why the email was so late.

So, as for a spiritual experience this week. We have been meeting with this guy Chen Li Sheng recently. He lives with his parents in Pu Zi. He really doesn't do much other than stay at home and help his dad in is watch and clock shop every now and again. We had only met him a couple of times without much progress. After going through and totally revitalizing our area book and formers list, we found an old progress record of his from a few years ago. On it, the previous missionaries wrote something along the lines of "He has some mental issues, leave this one to God." That didn't click well with Elder Watson and I. We knew that there was something special about this guy and we were going to work our hardest to help him. It's not that he has mental issues, just social issues. Anyways, the next couple of lessons after that went incredibly. He started reading the Book of Mormon in Alma 32. He read the entire chapter in a matter of a few days! He loves the Gospel and he knows it will help him. We just have to continue to help him overcome his trials and fears and we know that he will be baptized. We can feel it.

Anyways, that is about it for this week. If by some crazy chance you are awake and email me back, I'll be on for a little while. I love you guys so much. Know how much I miss you and I will talk to you guys soon. 

Love, your Son, Brother, and friend,

Elder Chase Joseph Millett
