Another great week in paradise filled with miracles.

Another great week in paradise filled with miracles. 
We started the week deciding to make a huge effort to promote the Christmas activities this week: the Christmas eve dinner/nativity performance and Sacrament on Sunday. And its been super successful. We started Operation Bring All the Members Cookies and Train Them on How to Invite to the Christmas Activity and it seems to be working great. Working with members is probably the most important activity to really get an area going. Members are so necessary in missionary work, we almost can't do it without them especially when we're trying to take advantage of big activities like these. 

But with all this time serving the ward, we haven't spent as much time on the streets contacting, but its still been great. We've actually been more successful in less amount of time then most days when we spend all day outside. For example on Thursday, 2 people came up to us right when we got to our area and asked to know more about the church. And Saturday night I saw this man we contacted the night before with his wife going on an evening walk by himself. He recognized us and was super open to talking again. He told us about some recent struggles in his life and we explained how Jesus Christ could help him and we we offered to pray for him, which he gladly excepted. Afterwards he actually offered to pray for us. He committed to coming to church (which he attended with his wife) and told us he knew that we were sent from God to find him. It was a super spiritual experience for all 3 of us and a great example of another Saturday night miracle. English class has also started to bear all kinds of fruit. We've been meeting with 2 brothers from our class after we had 18 students in attendance on Wednesday. 

This week has just been filled with these little miracles and filled with the spirit of Christmas. It's just a wonderful time to be out there serving our brothers and sisters.

2 More Weeks

Yeah so two more weeks till Taiwan! My district gets our flight plans on Friday  and then it's the final stretch. So I'm super excited and I now see why the past district said it's easy to lose focus the last 2 weeks. Sometimes you just start thinking about leaving and you forget your purpose here at the MTC. So to combat this, last week I started making some rather serious goals to kinda hold myself accountable at the end of each day. And it has really worked. I really wish I took our teachers seriously when they talked about setting goals when I first arrived here. But again nothing really changed here at the MTC except that I lost more of my friends when the Cantonese district left  on Tuesday . These were some of the best friends I have ever made and I only knew them for 5 weeks here at the MTC. But yeah I'll attach some pics with those studs at the end of this email. So yeah I'll miss them but the new Canto district is coming in today. And since me and Elder...

Well its literally been just an amazing week in paradise aka Tianmu. Like its sooo beautiful here. Last Monday this investigator family, the Liang family,drove us to the east coast and took us to 2 historical spots, 九份 (Jiufen) and 金瓜石 (Jinguashi). Both have so much history and are just soooo beautiful. I loved it. But the best part was we got to spend all day with this super cool investigator family.  But anyways another little highlight from this week was General Conference. SO MUCH FOCUS ON THE SPIRIT. I loved it.  Anyways I'm loving the mission. Loving the mission. Loving the people. And most importantly loving Jesus.  Pics from last p day
