Well here is something cool that happened last week! So I
forgot to buy some eggs during Pday so at night we went to the store to grab
some real quick and this lady asked us to help her grab something so we did.
Then we started talking to her and turns out she used to go to school at Weber
State! YAAAAAA! She is a super devout catholic but she really seemed interested
in meeting with us! So far we haven't set her up but that's because she is out
of town. But still, super cool!
This Saturday we are going to have 2 baptisms!!!!!!!!! Ming
Han and Ya Lun passed their baptismal interview yesterday and their dad signed
the paper so it's all good! They are so cool. Ming Han is 14 and his brother Ya
Lun is 9. They are the ones from that part member family we have been teaching.
These two are so willing to follow Jesus Christ. They both used to loooove
drinking tea (like every other Asian) and after we taught them the Word of
Wisdom they haven't had one sip of tea. Amazing. They read and pray all the
time and they even pray together! I am so excited for them to get baptized. I
really hope we can help their parents get baptized too so that they can be
sealed as a family! their two daughters are already members so now we just
gotta get the parents!!
Another cool thing, our new district leader loves the
Colorado Rockies so that is awesome. I have literally met more Rockies fan in
Taiwan than I ever met in America. Maybe I should just move here.
Anyways, yesterday at church we had a new investigator show
up with his two children. We haven't met with this guy yet so we haven't been
able to teach him anything about our church. So, the members decided to take
that into their own hands. First off, let be bear testimony that having members
that know how to act around investigators is sooooo important. Anyways, in the
2nd and 3rd hours of church the members taught the first and second lesson. Oh.
My. Heck. It was so annoying and he was so confused. We went from spiritual and
physical death, to the Book of Mormon and Nephi, to Joseph Smith, and
everything else in between. Luckily, we were able to sit down with him after
church and actually teach him something. He is really really interested and was
really excited to have a Book of Mormon! He even accepted a baptismal date for
April 30th!!
Other than that, I can't really think of anything exciting
that happened this week. It has been raining a ton and it's just great!
Oh here's something funny. Me and Elder Hsu teach the lower
level english class in our area and we asked all of them before class if they
wanted us to use more english or more chinese. The reason we ask is because
there is one student that complains to the other missionaries that we are using
too much chinese and that Elder Hsu's english isn't good. (Elder Hsu has super
good english) This guy thinks his english is super good... so we ask, and he
yells out "ENGRISH" In my mind I was like "Yeah.... you need
some help bud." We laughed about that haha.
Well that's it for this week
Love you all!!
Love
Elder Anderson
