Elder Jordan Chatman: 7 Weeks Remaining- February 9, 2014

February 9, 2014

大家好

The big news of this week is that we figured out which apostle is coming to Taiwan....the man himself..... Elder Holland. That will be great!!

This past week, I went to a mission wide leadership meeting for all the district, zone, and sister leaders. It went all day for two days. It was a lot like the meeting I went to last year. It was cool to see missionaries that I haven’t seen in forever! All of the leaders had to give a training of some sort. Another elder and I had to do a mock lesson teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. Since everyone needed a little bit of energy by the time we started our training, we decided to mix it up. We got my MTC companion and some other funny elders to be the investigators and members. It spiced it up a bit and made it a bit humorous. It seemed like it went well. The best part of the meeting was when they sent all 50+ of us missionaries out to go street contacting around the temple area for an hour. Another elder and I met some cool people. We talked to this lady and her son for like 20 minutes and it was all over the place. We talked about English class, families, temple square tours, the Book of Mormon, Christ, prayer, and all in 20 minutes. In the end though, she wanted to stick with her Buddhist beliefs.

One time this week, when we were contacting, I go up to a guy and say hi. He thought we were the police. He pulls out a Republic of China passport and tries to give it to us. We were like, “No we are missionaries, here take our pamphlet.” But he just kept insisting that we take his passport. We didn’t, of course, and just left. That was weird. But outside of that, we saw some cool miracles. We gave out 4 Book of Mormons and met a cool family. The wife was from Chile and the husband was Taiwanese.

Anyways, that’s the scoop.

Much Love,

Elder Chatman
