Week 2 in Taiwan

Wow it's been a crazy week! Filled with a ton of miracles, I can really tell Heavenly Father is looking out for us!  Started off last Tuesday, we found a random stack of phone numbers at our house and decided to call them.  The first number in the stack was a lady who wanted to meet with us! So we were pretty stoked about that.  A few days later we met with her and asked her why she agreed to meet.  She asked us first of all how we got her number, and we told her we found it.  She told us that she had met with missionaries 6 years ago and decided to stop.  When we called her, she felt like we a had a message she needed to hear.  So we taught her about Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and prayer.  She was super receptive and wants to learn more.  This was a testimony to me of everyone is ready to hear the Gospel at different times.  She wasn't ready 6 years ago, but could be now!

We have found a cultural center where we are finding great contacting success.  Saturday night we just started talking to this random girl and ended up sharing the first lesson.  She does not live in our area so we are passing her on to some other Elders but she seemed very interested.  And then last night the same thing happened with another lady.  The more we teach together, the more we realize that just teaching simple doctrines about the restoration are the most effective.  People feel something when you speak the truth! It's powerful!

Taiwan is a crazy place.  Everyone smokes here, and everytime I ride bike (so everywhere I go) I feel like i'm going to get hit by a car hahaha but it is so fun.  I love being out here and I love the Taiwanese people. Being in the city we have met some weird people hahah but it makes it more fun!  There is about as many buddist temples like the one in the pic here as there are lds churches in Utah haha.  Everyone is Buddist here and it's pretty sketchy.  I thought worshipping Idols was a thing of the past, but definitely not!! Another thing,  the fruit is amazing here! Even tho it's not in season really, it is still so good.  

Thanks for all the love and support! Love you all!!!!!
