Tales in Taiwan : Week #101

This week was a pretty good one! One of the highlights was I got a Taiwanese bible. There are some Christian churches in Taiwan that have church in Taiwanese instead of Mandarin. And so there bible is in a romanized form of Taiwanese (cause there is no real written form). I asked a member where I could buy one, and then she just went and bought me one. I can't read it (neither can most Taiwanese people), but it is still super cool.

We met with Mushroom twice this week and it went well. She is looking good for her baptism on the 29th. When we met with her we talked about how the devil will try to tempt her a lot before her baptism. And it went well, but then she didn't come to church on Sunday like she said she would. And we won't be able to meet with her for a while because she is going to Japan for a week, so we are a tiny bit worried but everything should work out.

We met with Ruby twice this week also. The first time we finished teaching gospel of Jesus Christ and she was asking a lot about baptism. She was basically just asking to be invited to be baptized, but then one of the members that was with us wouldn't stop talking and we had another lesson to get to so we didn't get to the invite. Then we set up later that week to have a lesson over video call, but then she could only talk on the phone instead. But we were still able to set a baptismal goal with her for July 7th! Her faith in Jesus Christ has increased so much since I first met her. She went from not even knowing who he is to wanting to be baptized in just a couple of weeks. The gospel is so amazing!

We also met with Clarkson twice and he came to church on Sunday. He has been smoking less and his desire to be baptized just continued to grow all the time.

Linda also came to church this week and we have almost finished teaching her all of the lessons! She is doing great!

We found a new investigator Named Aaron. He is a college student and super awesome! He had already been reading the Book of Mormon quite a bit. And really wants to come to church, so we are excited to keep meeting with him.

Love you all!
