Hello Everyone! Another Week in Taiwan!
Well, let's start with last P-Day I guess! We woke up to a rain storm so we had to cancel our trip up north and decided to just spend the whole day relaxing by playing bowling and then board games! It was super fun and a good way to avoid the rain.

The rest of the week was just a lot of work! Jim is still progressing pretty well but he says he still doesn't know if he believes completely yet if what we have taught him is true so he still won't commit to the Word of Wisdom. But when we asked him how he thinks he can gain a testimony, he said "That's why I am reading the Book of Mormon" so I don't think we need to worry to much about him. Just give him some more time to read and pray. Lu DiXiong on the other hand won't really meet with us and just says that coming to church is enough but he also won't come to church so we are going to have to try and help him understand he needs to meet with us to learn more.
Other than those two, we have found a couple of new Investigators. We met with both of them for the first time this week so we hope that we can start to get things moving with them. Also, there is an eternal investigator named Benjamin here. He is totally ready to get baptized but his parents will not let him. He has been investigating since last March and is half way through the Book of Mormon for his second time reading it. He is really awesome but hasn't been able to come to church because of him parents. But last week he randomly showed up at church and he said that he will try to help his parents be Ok with us visiting their house sometime in the future to talk to them so we have some big hope right now!
We have spent most of our nights out on the streets this week though. We are talking to everyone and it has been working pretty well but we actually aren't having a lot of success. We had about 20 first lessons either cancel on us or not show up in the last 2 or 3 weeks. Of the 3 people that actually showed up, they are all investigators now. So it is kind of a bummer that we can't meet with more.
I'm loving it here in Taiwan! The mission is going by way too quickly now and I am starting to really truly love the work now even though I haven't seen too much "success" on my mission yet! I look forward to the rest of it and I am pumped! Hahaha!
