Tales in Taiwan : Week #1

Sorry I forgot to tell you my pday is Wednesday. haha this week has honestly been super hard for me. I miss you guys so much, but I love doing the work of the Lord. Ive already learned so much chinese in just a week. Its crazy. I can say the missionary purpose, and the baptismal invitation,and we have already taught three lessons in nothing but Chinese. My companion is also going to Taichung.

I've seen Max, Aaron, Dane, and Mckay. Aaron is in my zone so its really fun to be around him a lot. We have such a cool zone and our zone leaders, Elder Mccusker and Elder Fear, are some of the coolest people I've ever met.

For our first Sunday devotional Elder Bednar Came and did a Q & A for all the missionaries so that was a really awesome first devotional. For our second devotional a released member of the seventy spoke to us. I've learned so much about the spirit and about this gospel.

Today we went to the temple for pday and when I went to get my name, Michael Maio was getting ready to go through for the first time. I was super excited for him.

I actually don't mind the food at the MTC, but I still haven't had a wrap yet ( sorry Kaitlyn ).

Sorry I don't have a lot to write, I kind of sometimes forget what happened throughout the week.

Our investigators name is Wu Jia Xin she is from Taiwan and completely Buddhist, so she knew nothing about God or Jesus Christ or anything like that. During the third lesson she told us that she believed that the Book of Mormon was true, and that she felt the spirit. It has been really cool to see her grow over only a few lessons.

In one of our lessons she had read the Book of Mormon, but we didn't give her a specific chapter or verse to read so she read the first 4 chapters of 1 Nephi. So We had to explain to her why Nephi killed Laban... in chinese. That was pretty difficult but also really fun.

I joined the choir. on the 24th they are having us sing background for a Christian band, so we are singing some pretty weird songs.

I still probably won't look at the pictures Amber gave me until about another week.

My branch president lives up by the Temple, his name is President Newell, he is such a great guy.

I do really love it here though, and its getting better and better everyday.

Well I love you guys so much!

Thanks! Love You!!
