We found a new guy on the street last week named Xxx Xxx Xxxx. He is weird. And has the strongest northern China accent I have ever heard. He's from Tian Jin, which is about 2 hours away from BeiJing, but I only understand maybe 50-70% of what he says. Elder Wang ShuangZhe and elder Leung taught him a lesson on Sunday, since me and elder Guo went to stake conference at the stake center. Elder Wang is from ShenYang China, which is north of BeiJing, he grew up with the northern accent, and he said he could only understand 80-90% of what the guy was saying, he has that bad of an accent/talks that fast. So teaching him might be interesting.
We have an interesting situation developing in Chinatown. I described to you before how many of our members live in Brooklyn and Flushing on Long Island, right? Well if I didn't, now you know. The problem is that we found out from President Moegan during interviews that the people who we teach from there who don't want to meet with the south missionaries because they met us first, still should not be getting baptized here. Apparently it's a bigger issue than we realized, we aren't sure what the full implications will be yet, but president is coming down to meet with us and bishop Huang at some point, so I don't know what exactly is going to happen. Should be interesting at least.
Oh, and they have changed the mission rules, we are one of the test missions for a new policy, we are sleeping now from 10:30 to 7:30, it is a policy they are considering putting in place for the rest of the world next summer depending on how it goes. I hate it. Sleeping for 8 hours is hard already. I usually just get up early and exercise more or do language study, because I just can't sleep that much.
Love,
