31 Weeks Remaining

August 25, 2013

你們好  

To start off this week, we went tracting in a typhoon. That was fun!! It was nothing serious, just a lot of rain. No one let us in, but that’s okay. The next day, we had to stay inside though because of the typhoon. I don’t know why but they freak out about typhoons over here. If you were just visiting and there was a typhoon, but no one told you, you would probably just think it was a rainy day.

Also this week, some Mormon teenagers that started a band called Beyond 5, came to the church building and did a concert. Tons of missionaries came with their investigators, so it was cool to see a lot of my buddies.

This week, we saw some great miracles with member referrals. One member brought his friend to church and we met with him afterwards. We shared the restoration and set a baptismal date with him. He is a cool guy. Then last night, another member introduced us to his friend who committed to come to church next week. He is another great guy. Member referrals are super cool, especially because recently during tracting and street contacting we haven’t really been able to find anyone who’s that interested. We did however while tracting, Saturday night, give out two copies of the Book of Mormon. So for tracting in Taiwan, there are these big boxes with everyone’s door bell on it. You press it and then speak into a speaker to them. If they are interested, they press a button that opens the door to let you into the building. Well, I pressed on a doorbell, this lady answered and I asked if we could share a message. She was like,”yeah but over the speaker.” So I pretty much had a 5 minute lesson over the speaker about the restoration and the Book of Mormon. In the end, the lady sounded interested and told us to leave her a Book of Mormon in her mailbox.  It was pretty cool stuff.

That’s pretty much a rap from this past week.

Love,
