This past week we have been really trying to work on using a book about our family history created by the church. It has been a really cool experience gathering information about my ancestors and then sharing it with others. The Taiwanese people really love and respect their ancestors and when they see two, Foreign Christian missionaries talk about it, it really gives them a different perspective on our Church! We have really seen people starting to connect with it, and now we have started inviting members to put together their own book and share it with friends and family!
This past week we went and were knocking on some doors trying to find someone interested in the gospel. Went down a full street/alley thing and no one was interested. It was almost 9 pm, so we packed up and started to head home. As we were leaving the area we ran into a guy in about his 40s waiting outside a house for his son. We started to talk to him about his family and his aspirations for his children. We testified to him he could be with his family forever and he was instantly drawn to that truth. We set up and met the next night with him and his 17 year old son. We shared the plan of salvation and as we asked him to pray to know it was true the spirit came over us all. He felt it! He wants to help his family, and I know it was God's plan we ran into them!
I am grateful for the opportunity to serve our Savior. I have seen this Gospel change the lives of so many here in Taiwan. God our Heavenly Father, is a God of miracles. He acts according to the faith of his children. So if you want to gain a testimony of Him. Do what it takes!! Read the Book of Mormon and ask with a sincere heart to know if he is there and if the book is true, He will answer your prayer, I promise.
Love you all!!
Elder Michael Henderson
