Hello Again!
Well the Chinese New Year has come and gone and I won't lie, it was pretty disappointing... It really wasn't anything. They just sit inside and eat food for a week. There weren't even fireworks or anything really. But that's ok! Taiwan is still awesome!
This week was pretty hard for us in our area. We had a couple of families that were set up for this week but then their Christian friends gave them some Anti-Mormon stuff and they don't want to meet with us anymore. So that's a bummer. We really are just hitting the streets a lot and finding more people to teach.
Last night we went to the new member fireside though with Chen Ba (The RC from a couple weeks ago) and his wife. They loved it and they had the opportunity to meet President Jergensen. It was fantastic! We are still working with Chen Ma to get baptized but she is really preparing well and hopefully will be able to receive baptism this month or in March!
This week we did have some fun though! We had our last few meals with the members for the New Year and they're the best! I was so thankful for the opportunity to meet with all of them and get to know them better! We met with 14 families total and had 14 meals provided. It was truly so nice of them!
Another awesome thing this week happened last Saturday night! I got to go back to TaoYuan for baptisms! It was so awesome! I love that area so much and all the ward went crazy when they saw me again! Hahaha! I miss them a lot! We went for one baptism, his name was Li Yan Xi, I taught him with Elder Liao. But what I didn't know was that there were actually three baptisms all at the same time! One from the other set of Elders and one from the Sisters! The Sisters was a girl named Liu Jiemei, I actually found her too! And there was another girl they were teaching that I found as well! So I was super excited to hear all about the success down there! I loved it!
That's about it for this week! Thanks everyone for the support! Love you all!
