Tales in Taiwan : Week #77

Happy New Year! Last week to celebrate Christmas we went to Mr. Steak. it is a steak place that has all you can eat french fries. And then we played board games. Also it was super good to see my family! Talking to them just strengthened my testimony of the gospel and how it can bless families.

Sadly this week we had to drop brother Wang (the one that I talked about last week). He just wasn't keeping his commitments and he just didn't have any desire to keep them. It is really sad when you grow to love these people and you know what there potential is.

There is another guy we are working with named Yusi. He was meeting with the sisters a while ago, but when he was meeting with them, he felt that God had answered his prayers by leading him to this sister so that he could marry her. He has a really solid testimony, but after the sister told him no, he stopped meeting with them. But then we ran into him on the street a while ago and he started meeting with us again. He still has a strong testimony, and he knows through study and prayer that the Book of Mormon is true. He is super awesome and we are meeting with him tonight.

We were able to meet with the Zhou family again this week. We shared the first part of the Plan of Salvation. The members that were there bore great testimony about how the gospel can bless families. They were not able to come to church, but they are excited to continue to learn about the gospel.

We had a super awesome miracle on Saturday. We had a free afternoon full of nothing so we decided to take the 15 minute train ride to one of our secondary areas and see what was down there. There werent under the age of 90 so we were just kind of exploring talking to whoever and then we just started looking for any houses that we could tract. And we stopped and talked to this lady and she let us sit down and teach her. I dont really know her whole story but she lives by herself and she has a son that goes to college up in Taipei. She was super open to the gospel. Then the next day she took the train up to YuanLin and a member brought her from the trainstation to the chapel. She stayed for all of church and there was a big potluck after so she got to meet a lot of the members. And Bishop brought his friend and his friends wife to church yesterday and we are meeting with them this week.

Everything is going great in YuanLin! Love you all!
