BAPTISM!!!!! oh yeah! We had a family get baptized this saturday! It was so awesome they are so incredible!!!!
Okay last night as we were biking back from the chapel on our cute super asian cool foresty swampy road then I saw something hoping and as I looked down quick I saw a little frog hoping along with me! It was SO CUTE!
We have an investigator we are working with right now her name is Lily she is a single mom who has a little 8 month son who is adorable. I love meeting with her! Everytime we meet to teach teh gospel such incredible things are said. I find myself really learning as we teach. Just like the scripture says those who learn and teach are edified together! I lvoe it!
Another fun moment this week, we had just finished up studies and were calling some former investigators to see if they would be willing to set up another time to meet with us again. When my companion called up a Jehovah's Witness. She starts out the conversation very politely responding to why our nickname is mormons and yes we believe in Christ and yes we also believe in God and yes we also even believe in the Spirit. Then I was super impressed as she started to ask some very deep thought provoking questions from the bible and then... then it gets a little intense. What I learned from it- that I need to really remain calm and help people see that our message is an invitation. That is to consider the truth that we have of the Book of Mormon and invite them to pray and ask if it be true then leave it to them to use their agency to choose.
This morning i had a really cool study on finding the doctrine that teaches that Jehovah is Jesus. I invite you all to do it and then please share with me what you know. Don't worry I won't bash them or anything I just want to have a better understanding for myself so that I can better answer them!
Anything else that I could share with you all.... OH! Yes my companion just reminded me. I wish you could all see the interesting buildings here. SO we went door knocking the other day in this pretty... run down place and anyway its a seven story building that we walk up the stairs knock the doors talk to the people walk up the next flight do it all again. But the fun part is that here in Taiwan when you get to the top its not just top. On the roof there are also little shelter things built that we get to knock too, well heres the fun part of it all was this time we also found this funky secret backside entrance to a whole other side of the building that also has homes. It was creepy and I have no way of adequately telling you all what it was like but lets just say very grateful we are led by the spirit and fear no man!
It was a really good week we had tons of really cool experiences and met a lot of really great people! I love you all have an awesome week!
