WEEK 13 --5 months out

I hit 5 months on my mission yesterday! I can't say it's flying by but it kinda is. Time is weird on your mission. It can feel like you've been out for not much time, and at the same time you've been out forever. Kind of weird.

It seems the ski season started probably a couple weeks ago. Skiing is so fun. My siblings have went up a couple times.

since last Thursday was Thanksgiving we had a mission conference then had a Thanksgiving lunch. It was so good. One thing that I am greatful for is my family and friends. The relationships that we get to make. I know that this is all possible to have families and friends because of Jesus Christ and Heavenly Fathers plan for Us. 

I know through Jesus Christ's Gospel we can have amazing lasting relationships with each other. So I'm so greatful for the relationships we make.

I love you guys so much!

We delivered the dumplings we made last week to some place. I'm not sure what for. But it was like a service thingy.

Last pday we went to a huge lego shop it was awesome. And just went to other shops

On Saturday we played some volleyball with some members and non members. It was really fun. Same day we invited some random person we talked to at a park to come to the board game activity that night. And they pulled up. So that was cool.

We had some lessons and some other Things like helping people with english. Street finding and other stuff. Every week has been a lot more busy compared to my first transfer. I'm on my third transfer with the same comp from 2nd transfer. He is super cool greatful to have him.

That's about all really.

Love you all so much. I can feel the Love of the Savior for others a lot more. I feel it for all you guys too. I'm so greatful I get the chance to serve in Taiwan. Hope everyone's weeks go well.

Remember to always be greatful and you will be more happy.we 

Love yall

Week 12 --Practice English

This week was pretty good. Been really busy with a lot. It's good to be busy but it's really hard. As missionaries we have so much we have to do.

We had a cool experience on Wednesday. We found someone who seems to have a desire to learn more which is really good. It seems like lots of the people we have right now don't have a great desire to learn and come closer to Christ.

We had a ton of activities too. This week we are gonna try to invite people to the board game activity and try to get more people to come to it. 

We practice English with this person and they invited us to a party lol. Their English was really good. As missionaries, we probably can't go but it was cool I guess.

We have transfers today but me and my comp aren't moving. So that's cool because I love my comp. He super cool and funny. We like a lot of the same things. And joke around a ton also.

The hardest part is to find people with the desire and want to improve and progress.

We have a family that could be promising. They were sent over by the sisters. They either just need more time or something to change their perspective. I hope they can have a desire to grow close to Christ.

I hope everyone is doing good. I do miss you guys. And miss many other things. But I'm so grateful
for everything. And this chance to serve God's children. I miss the ski season though lol, and snow but I'm so happy to be in Taiwan. I love the people and culture. It's so awesome.

Love you all and miss you lots,

Max clegg ❤️

WEEK 11 in Tucheng--HUGE GRIND

I forgot to send this. I had it finished just didn't send it.

this week was good as always.

I had exchanges from Wednesday morning to Thursday morning. We had two lessons then taught English on Wednesday. Two people came to thr advance class in the sanxia district. They were both really awesome and it was super fun talking to them. One was really funny.

We had not as much finding this week. But, we've been busy which is good.

Sunday night I felt really sick and most of today. But I'm feeling better.

This week has been busy. Missionary work is a Huge grind. And very tiring.

I love you all and hope everyone's doing good. Just look for the small and simple things that make you happy.

Love you all,

Max clegg

WEEK 10 --Missionary work is 100% grind...

 

this week was really good. It's been really good. I'm getting a lot better and more comfortable at talking to random people. My Chinese is getting better, probably.

It was a really fun week. And been working a lot. This week we had a mission tour. And it was pretty good. We had I think a 70 over the southern Asia area. 

Last p-day we went and played ultimate Frisby and that was really fun. We also went and I bought a chocolate oreo shaved ice thing. It was really tasty. I put a picture of it.

We had some lessons and some visiting. We had some member meals. It was all good. Me and my companion have a fun time and laugh a lot.

We played volleyball with some homies.

It was really fun, we then got breakfast with them.

My zone is also really awesome. The other missionaries are great.

I don't have many cool pictures but I do have some

I'm grateful to be in Taiwan. Some of the people are so cute lol. But I've been enjoying it even though it's hard.

The people are awesome. The culture is awesome. The food I'd awesome. It's been a really cool experience. Missionary work is 100% a grind though. But you can still have fun. You have to really try to find it though. 

Love you all

WEEK 9--21 Savage Day

 

This week went well I would say.

One thing the mission does. It helps you appreciate and be greatful for everything.  For family, hobbies, life and other stuff. I'm greatful for that.

Last pday we went to a Costco for lunch. Pizza and hotdogs. Not as good as on america but still fire. We then went to a college campus and played some soccer then we played basketball with some random kids. It was really fun.

Zone council and taught two friends on Tuesday. We talked about Halloween in our English group.

I think Halloween may be my favorite holiday. I love scary movies and scary games. The whole vibe of Halloween is sick. We had a Halloween party on Saturday with the ward. It was for the kids. It was pretty fun.

We set up a lesson with one of our friends and he doesn't have a phone so we can't text him. We also got two peike's which is a term for a member accompanying the lesson. He didn't show up. So the members took us to dinner to this BBQ place.

You get to go choose any meats you want and vegetables and you bring it back to the table and you cook it yourself it's really fire tbh.

Sunday. Taking the sacrament is always peaceful.

Then we helped someone with English over call. And did a little street finding.

We went to visits the Hong family at 7:30. They were really nice and it was good. They have two younger boys. We forgot to get a picture. Another elder added us to a group chat with this person. And she is crazy lol.

We did alot of street contacting as well. I'm still not good at it but it's getting better. My Chinese is better but it feels worse. If that makes sense.

My companion is really fun, I like him alot.

We made a new holiday. Every 21st of every month is 21 Savage day. So mark that on your calendars. It's the best day ever.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Love you all 很多。

WEEK 7--Transferred to TuCheng!

This week was pretty good 

On Tuesday we taught this guy who believes in the Bible but he was arguing that the Book of Mormon isn't historical or real. So it didn't go that well but whatever. 

We went to an area as a zone and did some zone finding it was good. I went to a really beautiful nature walk place.

Wednesday we have a new friend named John. He has been reading the Book of Mormon and seems to be doing really good. We taught him the plan of salvation. It went really well.

Thursday we played some basketball at night. We played with the same people we usually see there. It was really fun to play with them.

Friday we did a ping-pong activity. A decent amount of people showed up and it was really fun. A girl and a guy who both speak amazing English came. And we talked about music artists. And some other Things. It was fun.

Saturday we had a family history activity we went and passed out fliers for a couple hours. And the activity went well. A lot of people came which was good.

Sunday I packed up all my stuff because today I transfer. 

My new companion is Elder Mehr. And my new area is TuCheng. I'm pretty nervous actually. But it should be a fun change. 

I love you all.

WEEK 6 in TAIWAN--Ping Pong

Tuesday after we had district council. We did a exchange. I went with Elder Merritt to his area. Me and Matt Merritt were good childhood friends. We had a fun time street contacting people and just catching up on things we needed to do.

It was really nice change for me. 

Wednesday we did an English group. Where we discussed about our favorite movies and shows. It was cool to get yo know the people who came more.

Friday we had a lesson with our new friend. About the restoration and the book of Mormon. Later we went to diner with a former but he was actually a member in a different area. We went to McDonald's. We had our Ping-Pong activity and no one showed up so me and my comp Elder Daines played some Ping-Pong.

Saturday and Sunday

We watched conference which was really awesome. One of my favorite talks was. "God Knows and Loves You"  By Elder Alan T. Phillips. I invite you guys to watch it.

Today we are headed to the far north of the island. Which is really beautiful. To go to a market where tourist's come a lot. Doing a hike. And going to the beach. Should be fun.

I took a picture of when the sky was really purple. Wish I had a better backdrop but still sick.

Anyways love you all
