Well, that's another week in Taiwan!

This week was a great week! Because our area had slowed down A LOT because of Chinese New Year, Elder Cooper and I have been working really hard to get it back up and going. We did a lot of finding this week! But it was so worth it!

We spent pretty much every night out and on the streets talking to everyone. At first it didn't seem that we were going to really get anywhere this week but we really did! We got 4 new investigators and 3 new baptismal dates! It has been really cool to see how much the Lord blesses people for their hard work even in ways that they don't expect!

Elder Cooper and I have really gotten to be a lot better friends this week! I think we are really going to make this transfer awesome! He really likes to work hard which makes it a lot less stressful for me!

Yesterday at Church we were supposed to have about 9 investigators come! We were super excited because that is a lot! But then, as usual, no one actually came. So that was a bummer! Hahaha we keep on working though!

Also, Valentines day is officially the easiest holiday for missionaries to forget about completely. Especially in Taiwan! Hahaha I didn't even realize that it was anywhere near this time of year yet! Thank you so much for the package though! It was awesome and I totally didn't expect it!

I don't have too much to write about this week actually. We are kind of just getting started with all new investigators so there isn't much to really talk about with them. And last P-Day I had to go back to my old area to sign papers at the police station there because of my bike accident. (It wasn't the best P-Day! Hahaha but I did get to spend time with my old bishop! He's the best!)

I don't really have any pictures this week so enjoy this selfie of me wearing Sister Zhu's awesome bike helmet!

I am doing well, the area is doing well and I am really loving it here in Taiwan! My Chinese isn't a problem anymore so that's really cool and a little weird.

我知道神和耶穌基督活著。我知道祂們愛每個人。我知道耶穌基督後期聖徒教會是耶穌真實的教會。透過約瑟斯密神復興了祂的福音。我知道耶穌基督是我們的救主。

I know that God and Jesus Christ live. I know that they love everyone. I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints is Christ's true church. Through Joseph Smith, God restored his gospel. I know that Jesus Christ is our savior.

Love you all so much.
