Week #34

  I would like to start out by saying that it has been one year this week since I received my mission call. Being on a mission has blessed my life in so many ways. It has been the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but the Lord has turned me into a better person than I could have done by myself. Being in Taiwan has truly been such a great blessing.

Well it has been a good first week here in Qing Shui. this area is a lot bigger and a lot more rural than my last area so it has been a little different, but I love it here. It is always hard going somewhere new especially since I am not a big fan of change. Transitions are pretty hard for me (ex: Home-Mtc, Mtc-Taiwan, CuiHua-QingShui). But as I have gone to the Lord in prayer, I always don't immediately feel peace and comfort, but my prayers are always answered in one way or another. But the ward members here are super awesome and I am so excited to continue to get to know them.

  

 One of the coolest members I have met is a recent convert named Brother Huang. I have only met with him once but here is his story. He hasn't always had the best life (drinking smoking etc). And because of that his family left him. But when he met the missionaries he completely changed his life around. and next week when he goes up to the temple he is going to meet up with one of his daughters and try to make restitution. He just another example of how truly amazing this Gospel is and how it can change lives. 

   

Well nothing else really happened this week, but we did get a cool referral from a Taipei member. Apparently they were camping and doing a Family Home Evening, when this other family came by and noticed them. They started talking to them about what they were doing, and that led into a conversation about the Plan of Salvation. And now we are going to meet with them Saturday so hopefully that will be good. 

   Love you all!
