Gaoxiong!!

Dang another crazy week in Taiwan! It's kind of starting to cool down here, but still in the 80s and super humid! First off I heard about Trump getting elected because every single Taiwanese person I talk to asks me what I think about him haha.  These people here always want to talk about the most random stuff, but it makes it fun.  We bike a ton here, Our area is pretty big and me and comp were figuring it out and we ride around 20 miles on our bike everyday, so I'm getting in pretty good shape over here in Gaoxiong!

The people here are soo nice and always want to try and speak with me.  Hahah most of the time I don't what is going on but they are always understanding. My Chinese is definitely improving but has a ways to go!  A love truly grows for the people when I am trying so hard to speak their language.  The chance that I have to share the Gospel with these people, really pushes me to study even harder!  This last week we went to a place called Monkey Mountain that was super cool.  I sent a lot of pictures.  I finally got out of the city and saw really how pretty this place is!!

We had another lesson with the lady from my story in the first week I was on the Island.  She is really progressing and has a desire to understand the Gospel.  We shared about the importance of the Book of Mormon last night, and how it really can bless her life.  As I have been here, My understanding of the Book of Mormon grows everyday.  I truly know it is the word of God and I know that if you read it and sincerely pray about it, the holy ghost will testify of it's truthfulness. Joseph Smith said it is the most true book on Earth and if a man reads it he will come closer to God!  So my invitation is for everyone to do that!

Also, if you get a chance, read the words to the hymn "I stand all amazed".  It hit me how much the Savior actually did for each one of us and through him we can do so much. All you have to do is have faith in him!

Thanks for all the love and support!  Me and Elder Neuhaus are just out here trying to help everyone understand the Gospel better so it can bless their lives.  Love you all and have a great week!
