New Area, Training a new Companion and Already seeing Miracles in Douliu!

First I want to say HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO MY PARENTS!  As well as ASHTON AND BUBBA!!  What an adventurous week it has been! Starting off with being with Elder Provard and Elder Barker. They are two amazing missionaries and I learned a lot from them!  My new companion is..... ELDER STRONG!!  He is from Bankroft, Idaho, fresh off the plane, and is so awesome. I have been amazed at his urgency in the work, his faith, and his desire to serve the Lord.  He has been a great example to me already, and am excited to keep learning from him.  The first couple days in Douliu have been great,  we have seen some amazing miracles and are meeting so many awesome people.  We are starting to find some people to meet with for this upcoming week.  

One man in particular we met; Friday night we wanted to go tracting but had no idea where anything was, so we said a prayer and found a street of homes that seemed like a good place. As we starting tracting, nobody was really interested. But all of a sudden a man from down the street came out of his house and yelled to us to come talk to him.  My first thoughts were "uh oh, what is does this guy want?" But then quickly realized he had good intentions!  He said his son was inside and wanted to talk with us.  We went in a sat down with his very interested 26 year old son!  He was very interested in why we are here and what the Book of Mormon is.  GOLDEN. Haha We shared with him a short message of the Restoration and read with him in the Book of Mormon, he was more than willing to read! It was a miracle and I was so happy that Elder Strong in his first week here could experience such a cool thing!  Every day my testimony of modern day miracles is strengthened.  No matter how big or small they are acts of mercy from the Lord!

The ward here in Douliu already seems awesome! They have not had Elders in about 6 weeks so they were very happy to see us!  Me and Elder Strong both spoke in Sacrament and President Teh came as well!

Thank you for all the love and support!

Elder Henderson

 First Gatorade in a Year!! He said it tasted weird!! He bought it at a Filipino Store.

 Elder Henderson spoke in church yesterday along with his companion and his mission president Elder Teh. There have not been Elders in this ward for about 6 weeks.  Elder Henderson spoke about as we each read the Book of Mormon everyday we will see a difference in our lives and will become a better influence/example on our friends and they will want to hear the gospel! We want to do the work together!
