Us at our ward potluck! Such a happy time. We were making rice balls with our investigators!
One of the Elders found my coat in the gym...decided to put in on and take a picture. *face palm*
One of our investigators wanted to do a photo shoot after gospel principles class! Everyone was a great sport and went along with it :)
When we had an amazing miracle and ran into our investigator!
The Elders trying to fix the projector...obviously in a very safe way! haha
Elevator Selfies for the win!
My companion, Sister Jensen! She has been on her mission for officially a year!
She is obsessed with the filters we have on our phones...
Hi Friends and Family!
This week was week two with my new companion, Sister Jensen! We love our area and we saw a lot of miracles this week. It's been fun to get to know members and investigators better this week. We are lucky in this area to have so many amazing people we can interact with. People are so kind and generous. I LOVE THE TAIWANESE PEOPLE!
The biggest miracle we saw this week happened at about 8:30pm. We had about an hour before we were going home but we didn't know where we should go. My companion mentioned CarreFour (The Taiwanese equivalent to Walmart) but we then decided it was kinda far away so we decided against it. We instead biked around, exploring our area and trying to talk to people. After going down a bunch of roads we had never been down before, we found ourselves on the road leading directly to CarreFour! We decided it was a sign so we kept biking. We got there, but still didn't know where to go so we continued our random biking adventure! After another 20 minutes, we come to this bridge and decide to walk our bikes across it. THEN! Right on the other side is one of our investigators!!!!! She doesn't even live in that area but we ran into her and it turns out she really needed to see us that day. It was a total miracle. It really goes to show that as we trust in the Lord, He will guide us to the exact spot where we need to be. It defied all the odds and it was incredible.
On Sunday, we saw some more miracles. Four of our amazing investigators came to church and we were so excited! Our lessons were perfect for them that day. After 7 hours of church, we were feeling pretty tired but very happy. We love our investigators. Our members also help us so much. They are always making sure our investigators feel welcomed and feel comfortable in participating in the lessons. The missionaries can help start the process of conversion, but members really help in a different, but very special way. We can't do it without them!
We also had two awesome ward activities this week. The first was a Potluck and last minute, we had two investigators come. One of them brought her entire family with her. It was a total miracle and it was exactly what that family needed. We made some rice balls together and it was really fun. The second activity was a movie night and we had a bunch of investigators come. We had some technical difficulties so the Elders were coming up with some very creative ways to try and get the projector to work (see picture below). They will do anything for missionary work! Even if it means holding up a ladder, while another one of them climbs on it! haha Gotta love them.
Our District has also been really focusing on trying to get new students to our English class. In order to accomplish that, we all went to this park (it is really crowded right now because of a lantern festival) and just passed out a million English fliers! It is always really fun to just go up to people and start a conversation with them. They are always really shocked that we can speak Chinese. My companion and I had a bunch of really cool conversations with some really cool people. We really hope some of them will come to English class this week so we can continue to get to know them!
That was about it for this week! Hope you are all happy and healthy. I know this Gospel is true and I am happy that I have the chance to spead the joy of the Gospel with the amazing people of Taiwan.
LOVE YOU ALL!
