First Transfer!!

I finished training!!  We have had  a lot of progress with our investigators and there should be at least 2 baptisms in Lingya in February! But today, I got transferred! Literally from one end of the mission all the way to the other! I am now in a city called Fengyuan, which is the very most north eastern corner of our mission, up in Taichung! I am excited for the new experience! Lingya has been an amazing area!

I had a special experience on the train ride over.  As i got on the train this morning, I sat next to a lady probably in her 50's.  We started talking and it turns out she lives in Vancouver, Canada and is here visiting family.  We talked a lot about our lives and why I was here.  I told her i was a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints.  She had never seen missionaries before and so I explained our purpose to her.  She said she was Christian and so I asked her why she thought there we so many different christian churches on the earth.  She hadn't ever thought about it before,  I began to tell her about the story of Joseph Smith and how he had this same question.  It was very powerful and I felt the spirit.  After I shared, I could tell she was touched.  I told her that if she ever sees missionaries in Vancouver she should go talk to them, because this is special message that can really bless her life.  She said she will if she has the opportunity.  

This was a very powerful and special experience for me.  The Lord is preparing souls everywhere to hear this special message and they can feel the truthfulness of it.  I know I was supposed to be on that train, in that seat today, to help her hear a little bit about the restoration.  I don't know if she will ever see missionaries in Vancouver but I know she now knows that these missionaries have a special message. 

Love you all have a great week!
