Well, I have pictures, but the camera is having a hard time
connecting to the computer..... :( I'll try to figure it out in a bit or get
them to you next week... :/
Woohoo!! RSL won!! :D
That's so cool that Tyler is coming home this week! :)
When I come home, I am going to make it a goal to go to the
temple at least once a week. It's amazing how much the devil doesn't want us to
do those things that are so important. Reading and praying every day, church
every Sunday and going to the temple frequently. It's amazing sometimes to me
how hard he tries to keep us from doing those things.
My companion is doing really well. :) He's still completely
focused on the work--just like how I want to be on my last week. :) He talked
about some really awesome stuff about consecration with me. He said that it
requires discernment. When you're at work, you're at work. When you're with
your family, you're with your family. You need to focus on those tasks and be
all in to whatever task you're working on. It was awesome to learn! Right now,
it's time to work and serve the Lord with all our heart might mind and
strength. I hope I can be like him when I'm about to go home. It would be so
difficult to be with a companion right before he went home who was super
distracted! :o
Monday: Pday. We went and got dental visit check-up things.
It was weird. I felt all grown up doing grown up things. :) Thankfully, I
didn't have any cavities! Because of the health care program here, the checkup
was only 100NT. ($3US)! :D Sweet! Afterwards, we played basketball, then night
time was proselyting! We contacted (talked with people on the streets) and had
a lesson with an awesome older fellow, Mr. Zhang. He's pretty great. He's the
one that came to the baptism the other day.
Tuesday, Tuesday we tried to fill with lessons, because we
were busy the rest of the week. We met with Brother Peng, who's doing great!
Wednesday was pretty good too, had English class. Good
stuff. :) We did a push-up metaphor for Christ's Atonement. The class got candy
and I did push ups for them, whether they got candy or not. We talked about the
Atonement and how Christ has already Atoned for all of us, we just have to
accept Him and we can receive blessings.
Thursday, we went up to Tai Zhong to exchange with the
assistants. It went pretty well and had a miracle lesson with a family that had
come to English class. :)
Friday we came back, then set up for the activity that we
had to be at the church all night Friday and all day Saturday for. There was a
big exhibit for the 60th anniversary of the Church in Taiwan. We had a room
that covered missionaries and missionary life and gave people tours. It was
pretty cool! :D ... I think I forgot to take pictures of our room, though....
:( We had a day's schedule written on the board, cardboard cutouts of
missionaries on bikes so people could take pictures and put their faces in
them. We had a cool video (although by the end I was pretty tired of seeing it
because we watched it a million times) ;) and then had the baptismal font doors
open so people could see that. It was pretty cool!
Saturday we spent the whole day there. It was pretty fun to
be inside the church and just hang out all day, but at the same time, I'd go
crazy if I had to to that my whole mission. It's go great to be out and talking
to people and riding around town! :) Saturday night, we baptized Brother Peng!!
:D He's SUPER solid!! :D He also brought his mom, so that was pretty awesome!
:D
Sunday was good. Meetings, church, more meetings, then
contacting people at night. :)
Love you all and hope you had a great week!
