A Bible, a bible ...

Well what a week for the good old Nanzi elders. Elder Nelson and I are having a blast and are constantly seeing miracles.

Recently President Teh has really been focusing on using the Book of Mormon all the time. Especially in finding. And teaching. And just all the time. So we have been doing just that. The difference it has made in our work is huge!!!! We have found some really cool people! But we also run into some people that really don't like it (I'll talk about that in a sec)

So this week we met with 何弟兄 who is the man we talked to last Sunday. He is super great! We shared the first lesson with him and he accepted a date for 12月3日。 He also came to church for all three hours!! He participated in the Sunday School lesson and even stayed after to practice singing some Christmas songs! He seems to really have a strong desire to come unto Christ.

This weekend we went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders because they needed to do Gryphon's baptismal interview! Gryphon passed and is getting baptized this Saturday! We are super super excited! His whole conversion process has been a long one. Elder Williams and I found him in my first few weeks of being in Nanzi. But we have seen tons of miracles to help him down this road. So good!!!

While on exchanges, Elder Nelson and Elder Musgrave met with a family that we added from English and they have lots of interest and are willing to learn, but we are going to have to work to get them to church. 

Speaking of English class, this week's class was awesome!! Elder Nelson and I taught the advanced class and for our spiritual share we decided to do what Elder Funk taught us in mission tour, and that is to teach with using just the first 12 verses of 1 Nephi. Super effective in teaching the first lesson because you start off talking about families, switch to prophets, use a little bit of 聖靈 and at the end Nephi says he knows the record he is writing is true. So awesome. We added this family and another investigator that we are meeting with tonight. Very good.

So we were at the park and we were sharing about the Book of Mormon and we came across this lady. She said she was already Christian. So we talked about restored truths and talked about the Book of Mormon. She literally said, "A bible a bible, we already have a bible. We don't need another bible!!" She LITERALLY quoted 2 Nephi. As she said this I almost busted up laughing. Just proves the Book of Mormon is true because it prophesied of this! We wanted to share that scripture with her soooo bad! Especially when it says, O thou fools who shall say a bible a bible..... classic. Then she told me "If you really want to be saved, I exhort you to never teach of this again!" I was really surprised because I have never had anyone get so up in my face like that here in Taiwan. It was hilarious. Needless to say, she did not set up. She wouldn't even let me show her the introduction...

Well I am kinda low on time. But we received a cool referral this week from 壞北 I mean, Taibei. It is a family of four that is moving to our area and they want to meet with us! We are going to meet with them this week and we are pumped! 

The church is true! 

I love you all!

Be ambitious for Christ!

love
