9 Weeks Remaining- January 28, 2014

Tuesday, January 28, 2014

Here are some things that went on last week:

A. We called up a former investigator from about 2 years ago.... he had gotten busy and so he had stopped meeting. So we met with him and he was really good. He is Christian but hasn’t been to church in any church in a long time. We taught him a great lesson about the Restoration. He was confused on why he needed to be baptized again. We explained about proper authority and he is down to be baptized, if he gets an answer.

B. On Thursday, we had a training meeting all day. Our mission president and other leaders trained us. I got to translate it into Chinese for the Taiwanese missionaries so that made it interesting. It made it especially interesting since the mission president is from the south and uses tons of southern slang. For example - don’t go raiding my chicken coop.....how do you translate that into Chinese? haha

C. A recent convert that my companion and I taught and baptized in my last area, moved here to 土成 for work. So I get to keep teaching him which is cool.

D. On companion exchanges, Elder Martin and I saw a cool miracle. We were out street contacting. After about 30 minutes of rejection, we saw a guy across the street texting on his phone. He looked promising so we went over there and started talking with him. He turned out to be super interested. He said that recently he and his wife started watching a show about Jesus that a church in America broadcasts. He said they just felt good while watching it and wanted to know more about Christ but didn’t really understand much. So he set up to meet with Elder Martin and I after Chinese New Year is over. 奇蹟！

E. An apostle is coming to Taiwan at the end of February and he is doing a missionary fireside. So we are pretty pumped for that. It might be Elder Holland since he is over Asia. 

Love,

Elder Chatman
