Okay so I guess my first week heavenly father liked to play
a joke on me making me think that the wind here in 新竹 (XinZhu) was small and what not. But not this week.
This week it's been biking against a constant wind that's blowing at you.
Anyways this week was awesome!!
We met with 王小姐 (Miss Wang that we contacted at a 7/11 last week and she's so cool. We actually were able to give her a chapel tour. We set her up for Saturday but then she texted us saying she couldn't, so we invited her to church and she said yes! She came to the first hour of church and when we asked her how she liked it she said she had a really peaceful feeling!
Our English class is slowly getting more people, this past week we had double the amount of students than we did the last week. We had about 14 people there! At this rate we will need a bigger classroom so it doesn't feel like everyone's arms are in your space. We did the acting again this time but this time I didn't act with the little girl hahaha so I'm still alive.
On exchanges with Sister Meeks we actually met this super cool lady outside a 7/11, we at first were a bit intimidated but we talked to her and shared about the plan of salvation. She works at a hospital in a department that deals with people after someone has passed away, she really likes that Christian churches are so happy and positive about life.
何姊妹 (Sister He) is doing good, we had a stumble with church but we've been really emphasizing the faith and courage of Nephi. In our last lesson when I was on exchanges we actually talked a lot about the first three chapters of 1 Nephi, we talked about how much faith and courage it took for Nephi to go back to Jerusalem with his brothers even though they had just been commanded to leave everything they had (and they were Not poor people) to go into the wilderness. Nephi's brothers were not in the one bit happy but rather complained and basically yelled at their brother because of it. Nephi kept his faith and said to them that the Lord would provide a way to accomplish the things that He commands us to do. 何姊妹 Was having faith problems with church, but she went to an hour yesterday and texted us that she was grateful that she went and she's expressed that she wants to be like Nephi!
We also had an awesome lesson with 張姊妹 (Sister Chang) and after a bunch of trust falls, crawling around, jumping, etc with her daughters, we were able to teach the plan of salvation to her and start teaching her daughters!!!
I also was able to go to the baptism of 吳妹妹 (Sister Wu, the 14 year old, from my last area) it was so awesome. Her dad came to support her and her aunts (who are members and helped her come to church and meet us) came up from southern Taiwan. The whole chapel was filled with family and the young women and it was just such an amazing baptism. They all spoke to her and as tears ran down her face she was so excited to be baptized. It was such a beautiful baptism ahhhh it was so good.

Nonspiritual thoughts:
ZONE CONFERENCE IS TOMORROW HHAHAHAHHAHA SO SCARY.
I made sister Liu cry twice this week from laughing hahahhaha. So here we are in district meeting and just listening to the share when this mosquito flies past my face. Both sister liu and I make eye contact and we know it's going to have a short life. So we are watching it and it just flies over to Elder Pilling and chills on his leg so I creep over trying to kill it but it flew away. Later I see it on the back of a chair so I go and hit it, but nothing. Lastly it's on the ceiling and so I grab a chair and whack the ceiling with my tract bag, it died lol. Finally. (also last week when we went to Green World the Elders were like we don't have to worry about mosquitoes biting our legs (they think they can get through but then the mosquitoes get stuck in their leg hair and then die)
I also have been wearing no makeup this week and someone said I looked like I was in Jr high HAHAHHAHAHAHA
Also pretty sure a bird peed on my arm, sister Meeks and I contacted this lady with a pet bird and it flew onto us and then all of a sudden my jacket had a funky liquid on it, but it's fine I washed it lol.
So we've been trying to send 朱姊妹 (Sister Chu her luggage for like two weeks but the
company doesn't answer their phone. So one day we are at the church and we see
the company's truck outside so we bolt out the door and I knock on the guys
window (scaring him half to death) and we are like you move stuff right? We
have a luggage that needs to go to the other side of the island and he's like 沒辦法 (there's no way) and we are
just like what but it's your job. So we ask for his company's phone number and
he's like I don't know. Then we are like we have been calling them forever and
they don't answer. He's like they don't answer my calls either (then we are
like what ! How can they not answer employees phone calls) and then he's like
maybe they're just too busy to answer. At this point my companion and I are just
appalled and confused, so we gave up.
