大家好
This week was pretty great! I love being a missionary especially here in Miaoli. There are some people here in Miaoli who I feel I have really been able to touch and help through the Spirit. The people here in Miaoli are a little different than those in my last areas.l Typically they are a lot more open to speaking with the missionaries and coming to church. We had 5 investigators at church on Sunday 4 of them have attended church for nearly two months now. We are so excited to see the progress of these awesome investigators!
Z--- and E--- are two cousins who we met through English class contacting. They love coming to church and have made friends with the people in the ward. They love being with the missionaries as well. their situation is a little sensitive because both of their families are really opposed to them getting baptized because they are very traditional Buddhists. They graduate in a couple of months though and at that time will be able to be baptized. I really feel like the Lord sent me to Miaoli to find these two. There are not only investigators but lifelong friends.
Z-- D-- spoke with his dad about getting baptized and his dad would prefer him to wait until after his test next month. He just wants him to focus on his studies because it is really important but Z-- D-- said he would discuss it with his dad again about being baptized on the 26th. He is still way on board for baptisma nd his testimony is being strengthened everyday. He loved general conference and says he felt the prophets were true and good men.
C-- D-- s doing so well. The ward has really rallied behind him and are supporting him in his decision to be baptized. He has come a long way in 6 months. He hasn't smoke for nearly 2 weeks now and is praying for forgiveness of his sins. He has been tested many times this past week. He found 4 packs of cigarettes while he was on the street. He resisted the temptation each time it came. Great guy, I'm so excited for him.
No crazy stories this week. I really enjoyed watching conference. Man so many great speakers. My favorite talk was Elder Uchtdorf's talk on Sunday morning about gratitude. So good. We are just supposed to be grateful no matter what stuff we have. Super simple principal. Hard to follow
through on sometimes.
Sorry this was a little short. Or maybe that's better haha
Love ya'll have a great week.
