This week was a
lot of figuratively tripping if that makes sense. It was like walking up a
giant mountain and being like....where is the top?? and then on the way up
tripping a billion and a half times. But it's okay because once we get to the
top that means that there is the downhill part which is where a lot of miracles
happen and it's the most fun!!
Investigators:
Liu Jiemei is
doing alright, we had a lesson where she kind of dropped a lot of surprising
information on us but my companion and I are slowly figuring her out and trying
to teach more to her needs. It is sometimes hard because here in Taiwan a lot
of people have face, so it's hard to tell what they really mean. That's the
great thing about listening to the Holy Ghost, because when we don't know
exactly what is true we can listen to him and know what to teach. We invited
her to the recent convert fireside and she was able to sit next to this member
in our ward (which was purely God's work because we didn't know this member was
going) and become better friends with the ward member.
Sherry is doing
great! She is going to the Muzha ward now and she got the gift of the Holy
Ghost! She is so cute and I don't even know what else to say about her.
Katie is doing
well too, she's the other 16 year old we are teaching. She has only been
coming to an hour of church so far because she's a bit too scared to tell her
parents yet. But she's been taking the lessons really well and so we've been
trying to build up her faith so she can tell her parents soon!
Yesterday we
biked to do Less Active finding and that took about an hour (cause our area is
huge!!) but we didn't end up going to the LA's house because it was up this
HUGE mountain and we wanted to be effective. Since we biked for an hour we
didn't want to waste time, so we decided to go finding around the base of the
mountain that we went to. We were trying to call people to invite to the RC
fireside when we saw this lady that was standing by us in work out clothes, so
we decided to start contacting her and it turns out she's so open to our
message and we set up with her for later this week!! She was waiting for a date
and she said that she didn't have a special religion she was in (usually in
Xizhi everyone is buddhist).
So my companion
and I sometimes do this thing where we pray to know what our investigator is
wearing or where they are and then we go and find. My companion had seen a felt
type of blue jacket so that's what we were looking for but we weren't having
any success that day of finding someone with that. A little while later we
decided to go into U-town (which is like a huge mall) and so right when we
walked in our jaws about dropped because there was a girl with the exact jacket
Sister Austad had seen. We ended up setting up with her and her husband!!
Nonspiritual
stuff:
My companion
and I left our apartment one day and were riding to the church to have a lesson
with a lady named Peggy, when we arrived to the church we realized
something....we didn't have our KEYS. We left our keys in our apartment!! And
there are so many locking doors we were like OH NO. We had to call the
elders to use their key to get in the church and then luckily later they were
going to Taipei for a temple tour with an investigator so they were able to
pick up our extra keys. Our office Elder who helps with all the apartment
problems literally had a laughing attack because he was like...I haven't heard
from the Xizhi sisters in a while....and then we called.
I was surprised
mom sent such a big package, I felt like a movie star with a package from
America. Thanks Mom!
This week we
are going to Jiufen!! It's like a huge night market area so it's going to be so
fun!!!!
