Well this week was not too awesome to chat about. It was good we learned a lot about being willing to submit to the will of the Lord and I learned how to ride a bike in a long skirt. The weather is getting hot here so my companion is convincing me and helping me know what clothes to buy well one of them was a long skirt so I wouldnt have to wear shorts under when we are biking. Well the first 5 minutes with it was fine then it caught in my brakes and my chain and ugh what a mess but dont worry She taught me the tricks and it wont happen again! This week we found FOUR new investigators! Which was really awesome but sad two of them ( a family) are not in our area and will be given to the elders here. It really is interesting sometimes being a missioanry. We are here to teach the Gospel but there are a lot of times when we cant. FOr instance the other day we were out knocking doors. A Christian man answered and as we talked he welcomed us in. Except there were no other girls inside and we are not able to go in if its just a man. It really stunk because if we had had a member with us we could have taught him but when we explained why we couldnt come in and asked to come back tomorrow he was busy and then it was too stressful for him and he turned us away. Actually this happened to us three times this week. Talk, about a slap to the face of needed the members to come with us! Please family. Do not let this happen to the missionaries there go with them. They really do need you. THis week we went up to Taipei for a training and PResident Day was there. He trained us on the importance of members and showed us this cool statistic. It takes missionaries talking to about 50 people to get one new investigator. THen 20 investigators to get 1 baptism. LOok fellas this is not how we hasten the work. That is way to slow. AND WE KNOW A BETTER WAY!!!!! I am going to ask you all what is it?? What is the better way that the Prophets have taught us? Now please do it. You know the people who dont know the gospel. Dont be scared invite them over to dinner and bring the missionaries trust them. They will do a good job! Besides what if you told that one person up in heaven dont you worry bud I will help you. I will find you and I will help you come to know the truth. Maybe. Dont miss the chance. I want to hear about how you all did next week okay?! I love you all so much I know you will do great at opening your mouths and inviting. I will be praying for you! Now go and Jia the you! (Add the oil) which is the way of saying go do it! :) I love you to death be safe!
