15 Weeks Remaining- December 15, 2013

December 15, 2013

 大家好
The highlight of the week was being able to meet a General Authority.
Elder Packe,r from the Quorum of the Seventy, came to Taiwan. He did a two hour devotional with us (all the missionaries.) lt was cool being able to shake his hand and feel Christ’s love emulating from God's servant. He talked to us a lot about family history and how we can help our investigators and converts prepare to help their ancestors receive salvation. That’s something that’s a really special treat over here.  If you go back a few generations with the Taiwanese people, their ancestors are all from China, where no one had the gospel. So it’s super cool to be able to be a part of helping the ancient Chinese receive salvation. Family history work is great too in that it helps our converts stay active in the church, which is a huge problem over here. 
What else is new? It is kind of like the weeks in the past..... we've just been tracting and street contacting most of the day. It’s been sad to see some of our investigators lose interest or just not see why the gospel is so important in their lives. That’s probably one of the toughest things to see as a missionary. You develop so much love for your investigators but then seeing them lose desire in your message is tough. But it’s all good. We are excited to go out and try to find some more prepared souls this week.

Love,
Elder Chatman
