What a week! Time flies here. So this week I tried two new
foods that people really like here in Taiwan. The first was super good! It was
a hamburger with peanut butter on it! Oh man it was one of the best burgers I
have ever eaten! And then the other thing I ate was stinky tofu. That was not
good. So imagine the worst smelling thing you can think of and then put it into
a food. So gross. I don't get how they like it...
Anyways, onto holy things. So this week we had a super
awesome miracle!! We have an investigator that we had taught the first lesson
to but for some reason we forgot to get his number when we taught him.. so we
had no way of contacting him. The only way we could contact him was if he came
to English class on Wednesday. So me and my companion prayed a ton that he
would show up to English. Let me tell ya, prayers really work! He came and we
were able to talk with him, get his number, and set up a time to teach with
him! It was super awesome. He has tons of potential too so hopefully he gets
baptized.
So this week we were supposed to have two baptisms... but we
might have none. One of them is like super dedicated to being baptized but we
don't know if he will be able to come home from the military to be baptized on
Saturday and then confirmed on Sunday. So pray that he can come home! The
other... well we have no idea. We knew he was gonna be super busy this week but
we cannot get in touch with him. We taught him two weeks ago and things were
going super well. When we had to leave, the member we brought with us stayed
and talked with him some more. Since then, we haven't talked to him. We think
he blocked our number... We don't think we said anything that offended him or
anything like that and we are really nervous that the member said something
bad.. hopefully after this week we can get in touch...
Yesterday at church we had the primary program!! Oh man it
was the cutest thing ever. A bunch of little Asian kids 'singing' (more like
yelling). It was just the best. Our ward is so dang awesome and they are super
big into helping us out with missionary work. They are always willing to come
to lessons with us. I love it! And they give us tons of food so that is always
a plus!
So last thing, we were in Mcdonalds waiting for our
investigator and I am walking to the bathroom and I see this white guy sitting
at a table. My first thought was, "Holy cow! A white guy!" He looked
up and smiled and waved haha. It was super awkward but just hilarious because
we are both white people.
Anyways, I love you all a ton. And I love my mission and
Taiwan. Everything about it is just the best! Hope you all are doing well!!
Love Elder Anderson
