MAC N CHEESE!!
It’s a rainy Monday morning in Taiwan! We still took
advantage of the rain and went on a nice run this morning though (: We had an
AMAZING week this week! I don't know if it's due to the two exchanges in our
area, making there be 4 sisters in Beitou, or if the Lord is just pleased with
our efforts and rewarding us for it. Okay, so actually all of our
baptismal date investigators dropped... All we have left is Chantelle, who's an
English student. She reads and stuff, but she still hasn't come to
church.
Dad would be so proud! We made a desk in 6 (not-so-simple-and-also-in-Chinese) steps!
Sis. Jin lives all the way up the mountain. Traveling up to her house
on the bus with Elders Francis and Doug from the Danshui ward
Ready for the bad news? Xie Wei Jie, who was absolutely no
doubt going to be baptized this weekend, brought up that he and his wife are
actually (temporarily but legally) divorced, but they're still living
together. Something about the government and legal money safety stuff
that I didn't understand. Man, I was so bummed to hear that. Keep praying
for him though. I know the second they get married again, he'll want to
be baptized! It may be a year or so though.
Our crazy church turnout. Kenton (I), Sis Zhang (LA), Bro Tao (her friend), Louisela (I from Phillipines, so we had to translate), Bro Deng (really LA), and Sis Chen (also really LA)
We met this cool guy named Kenton on the MRT the other
day. He's from Grand Rapids, Michigan. I could not remember for the
life of me where Lisa is from though! He's an exchange student, and has a
Baptist background, just what I like (: we found out he's actually not in our
area, but he'll be with a new family in March that will be in our area! So I'll
get to teach him for a minute!
We had our two zone meetings this week, wow that seems like
forever ago! It was a little crazy running from Shilin to Jin Hua to do both of
the zone trainings, but I think they went great! It was interesting to see the
different people's reactions to the new revelation about exchanges and transfer
meetings and stuff. Just have faith, little missionaries. The Lord
is hastening His work, and He knows what He's doing!
Sister Xiao--Isn't she so cute?
Exchanges with Sister Lin. She's the best!
We had two exchanges this week, and I got to serve with two
Taiwanese companions! Haha I'm glad I was with Xiao JM in breaking, so now
they're not as scary. I exchanged with Sister Lin, who I met doing the
missionary Christmas choir, and we just became best friends. And then
another Sister Xiao, who's training right now and waiting for her visa to go to
Washington.
E'rybody needed new glasses at XiMenDing
Carly and Hanny
We also had surprise interviews with President Jergensen
this week! I love that man so much. He's just so loving and makes you
want to be better. He basically told me to set a goal of how many people I want
to see baptized before I go home, and make it happen. Also, my mission
vision is now nothing but "teach repentance and baptize
converts". To go along with that, I had Mosiah 26:30 for my
ponderize scripture this week. Haha sorry I've been forgetting to include
that! It basically says as many times as you repent, I'll forgive you.
That's so great, right? I think I'll try to share it on the street this
week.
Sis. Jin, one of the members, does this for a living. How cool!
Well, that's about it for this week! We're going shopping
today at Taipei Main Station, so let me know if there's anything special you
want me to get!
Repent every day, go to the temple regularly, and sustain
the prophet! Love you!
Love, Feng Jiemei
