Hi
Mom and Dad!
Sorry
it's so late in the afternoon...or night I should say. We have been making 'yue bing' (moon cakes) all day with some members. It's 'Zhong Qiu Jie' right
now, Mid- Autumn Festival, so the members were teaching us how to make some
delicious foods. We were only planning on it taking about 3 hours...haha, but
that's ok. They are delicious! And it'll go perfect for our English party this Wednesday night! We're eating lots of 'yue bing' and 'you zi', haha, it's fun. I love celebrating the holidays here.
Last
week was really good though. It went by really fast, as normal. Haha, the weeks
are going by faster and faster. Having
Wu Jei Mei (Angel) come to visit was SUPER fun. She's thinking of going on a
full-time mission! I'm so excited for her. It probably won't be
for a while, but I'm so excited. It's crazy to think how far she has come since
we met her in DanShui last October.
We
had Zone Training Meeting last Tuesday and that was really good. A lot about
the Book of Mormon, prayer, and going to church (CPR) and the role that plays
in our life and the lives of investigators. So it was a good meeting.
We
had one HUGE miracle...we got to meet with one lady that we met last
week, and 1, it was a miracle because she actually showed up, haha. And 2,
because she TOTALLY felt the Spirit, and she recognized it. We basically just did a getting to know you and CPR lesson, and then at the end she asked if she
could see the chapel. So we took her up to the third floor and went into the
chapel, and she just stood there for a couple minutes and was finally like
"This feeling, it's reverent. It's a completely different feeling than the
outside is." So we were able to explain about the Spirit, and she's
awesome. It's going to be hard for her to come to church, but it was just such
a cool lesson. I'm so thankful for the Spirit, and how strong it was in that
chapel.
For more information about the Spirit, here is a link:
Another
miracle was meeting with one of our members. She was going to
come with us to teach a lesson, but then our investigator cancelled so we just
got to meet with her, and it turns out that is exactly what she needed! It was so cool! We hadn't prepared anything to share with her so we were
just talking about how life is lately, and it turns out she's been having a
really hard time with some stuff, and we were able to help her out with that.
She said herself that we were God's answer for her. It was really cool. Sometimes
it amazes me how much people trust missionaries...but it's really cool that
they do trust us that much. I'm just glad that God always qualifies who he calls.
All
of our other investivators are doing about the same. We've been having a hard
time meeting with some of them since school has started, and we've also been
having a really hard time finding members to go with us to lessons (since
over half the people we meet with are men, we need them to go with us). So
that's been a little rough lately. But we're working on it. The members are
great though. We have a really good relationship with them.
Well,
I can't really think about anything much else that happened last week. Pretty
much the same, and just getting back into the routine of things. I'll attach
some pictures soon :)
I
love you Mom and Dad! Have a great week :)
