3/8/2015 - Having a Blast






Hey everyone! 

We are continuing to see so many miracles! My comp and I are old missionaries but that hasn't stopped us from continuing to work as hard as we can to do what we can to bring people to come unto Christ. We have what we believe to be really inspired goals for our zone for this transfer. We hope that we can Awaken the Force in our zone and bring that fire back into the lives of some of our missionaries. There are so many talented and great missionaries in our zone and we see the potential that can be achieved. During our zone meeting tomorrow we will be focusing on diligence, hard work, and faith. Our zone is going to see miracles this transfer. 

I went on exchanges with Elder Nixon this week. He is a great missionary. He's not letting his two broken arms slow him down. He tore it up down in Xinzhu and has definitely brought some of that fire to Sanchong. They are already improving and they get along so well! They really love each other a lot and believe God has put them there for a reason. I think we will rapidly see change in their area. Elder Nixon has many natural talents and abilities. He is a natural teacher and his Chinese is really good for being a somewhat young missionary. He has many great leadership qualities and I respect him a lot. 

Our area is continuing on. We are working closely with all of our recent converts and less active members. They are progressing! Two of the RC's passed the sacrament and attended the temple for the first time this week. We had 5 new members that have been baptized since January go to the temple together last Thursday! Jinhua ward is seeing tons of miracles! 

The coolest miracle this week was while we were finding last night. We were contacting on the street and we noticed a couple taking some pictures so we figured they were tourists. They were a Filipino couple that had just moved to Taiwan a couple days before. They are a very devote Catholic family that was just incredibly dedicated to living a life that God would be proud of. I was so edified by the Spirit that they gave off. Speaking in English is so much more powerful for me. It was also really cool because after we talked and exchanged information we parted ways. Right after we left I had this really strong feeling to run back and say a prayer with them. We did and they were so grateful. They really were just the nicest couple. We are hoping we get to meet up with them! I admire and respect people who are devout in their religions and just respect and love God! 

I love my mission and I'm working hard! 

Love ya'll!

Elder Meeks
