Average week

Well this week was a pretty average week in terms of lessons. We got our pigeons placed a few times and some of our investigators are out of town so that is always rough. But it was still a good week! 

A miracle came on Monday while we were doing calls. A few weeks ago we were eating some 冰 and a guy came and sat by us and told us that he knows about our church and stuff. So we talked with him for a bit. He was pretty interesting but pretty cool too. He gave us his number and he left. Then while we were doing calls, he called us and said he was at the church and he wants us to go too. So we biked super fast over there and this guy was there with his brother and told us to give them a Book of Mormon. We were like, "Ok!" haha. But we shared about the Book of Mormon and taught a short lesson with them. They were pretty cool and hopefully we can really help them get progressing.

We met with one of our investigators 楊志恆 this week. He has a baptismal goal for July 16th. He is super cool and really gets everything we teach. We taught him the third lesson and at the end we asked him how he thinks this applies to him. He used every point we taught(faith, repentance, baptism, gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end) and told us how that will all help his life. Super cool. We are a little worried that his mom might oppose him coming to church and stuff so hopefully she won't be a problem..

This weekend we had stake conference. It was probably the best stake conference I have ever been too. President and Sister Blickenstaff were there along with the Taibei Temple President and his wife and Elder Wong from the Seventy. Super stack stake conference. Elder Wong really stressed the importance of the Sabbath Day. That is something that the people here struggle with. Church attendance hasn't been going up for the past few years He basically got in our faces about what we need to do on the Sabbath, but it was with love and humor. He is awesome. I really thought about how I used to keep the Sabbath Day holy. Obviously now, it's good. But before I just took the Sabbath as a day to chill, go to church, do nothing. Yeah. I realized that those things (except church) never really helped me grow closer to my Savior. I really hope all of you are using the time you have on Sunday wisely. I have realized how important the Sabbath Day really is.

Other than that, not much else happened this week. We just had lots of contacting and calls that we did. We were able to meet some pretty cool people on the streets so hopefully they will have interest in the church!!

Well, happy Father's Day!! Love you all!!

Love
