Hello Everyone! And welcome to another week in Taiwan! Currently there isn't too much big or exciting happening but the missionary work continues to progress!
Last Monday was a holiday here in Taiwan but we still decided to go to Costco. That was a mistake! I barely made it out alive! Hahaha! There were so many people there! But even more incredible: I made it back home with all those groceries on a bike! I bought two things of milk, muffins, a giant box of cereal and a whole lot of other stuff; put it into one bag, then put that bag on my shoulder and biked home through the second most crowded area of Taiwan! Hahaha! After that was a little more relaxing, we headed into Taibei to buy tickets for some event we are going to next week and then bought Coldstone!
As for the rest of the week, we had exchanges on Tuesday to Wednesday so I was in the other Elders' Area for a day and got to go finding with Elder Diener. It was a lot of fun and we found a family that they are starting to teach now!
As for our area, we are still struggling with finding new investigators and keeping our current ones. We have two right now that are really our only progressing investigators. One is Jim and the other's last name is Lu. They both have come to church and as far as we know they are praying and reading the scriptures! We just need them to keep building their faith so they have desire to keep it up without us asking them everyday!
Other than that we are on the streets every night for a couple of hours trying to find people! Some of the ones we found before dropped because they said that they thought church was boring but that's okay! That's better than the usual not telling us and just standing us up! Hahaha!
I'm doing well! Taiwan is great and our mission is awesome! We'll just keep on working and see what happens this week! I can't believe that it is already March!
Love, Elder Holderness
P.S. - Just a personal note from Brian to us this week...
"Yep things are going well here! I am really starting to love Taiwan and my mission! Chinese is really coming along for me now. I have always had an interest in it, but now I know it was one of God's gifts to me too! I have learned Characters so fast! I can do 250 in a week right now!"
