so real quick, because we don’t really have a place to email down in feng lin. President gave us permission to email on tuesdays right before district meeting so our emails will be coming on tuesdays now 🙂

this week has been another good week. we have been able to see some really good miracles! The Wang family that i talked about last week has been making some really good progress. we have run into a problem that i haven’t run into with many investigators. as we have been sharing with them the wife (xiu mei) has been trying to set up all of her relatives and friends to meet with us too! and seeing as we still need to share with her before they can get baptized its going to be hard to meet with them because we are meeting with all of their friends! not a problem that we run into often and really its a super good problem to have 🙂 right now their baptismal goal is for the 12th of November! super excited for them! we will being working hard to meet with them as much as possible! their family is so dang cute!

Me and Elder Conover have seen so many miracles! i have loved serving with him and being able to see the progress of our investigators! this last week we met many sweet people. our most progressing are the wang family (mom, dad, and 3 kids 🙂 ) then the zhuang family (mom, dad, and 2 kids) then we have a liao zhi yi, and have met some others that we are excited about!

life is good, and the lord wants us all to succeed so don’t get down on yourself 🙂 now here are some pictures 🙂

This is the wang family, they are the greatest! they took us to this little lake with st mary in the middle. pretty cool!

love you all!! till next week!

this week has been a super good week! we have seen some amazing miracles in starting this area. so in this last week we have been able to find one new solid family to teach and its been awesome! The 王wang family. they have been super solid so far and even came to church with their 3 kids! im so stoked to get to work with them and see the change in their life! this transfer we have a goal of getting 4 baptisms and if things keep going as they are we will be able to help the two families, wang and zhuang families, we have been working with make that commitment! i have loved working with Elder Conover he is a great missionary and he has a great desire for the work. we get along great and i am super excited for the work that is going to get done with us here for the next transfer 🙂 there are things that we are still getting used to and working to adjust but overall be have made some great progress in adjusting to the area. there are tons of prepared people here! just getting this area started 🙂

its been fun because when we moved down here we didn’t have anything so we have had to buy things for the apartment with our own money. because we have to do that we have gone all week with little money at all and have had to do some saving for the week haha its been fun to find different ways to cook rice… haha 🙂 im only slightly kidding about that 🙂 but really this has been a good week of learning! i love life!

love you all and have a great week!! 🙂

me and my new comp in our new apartment!

this statue says feng lin is literally the slowest town in all of taiwan….. flip yes 🙂

on the way to emails today i wrecked myself! but thats ok it looks cool 🙂

hey all!

so this week has been a nuts one 🙂 full of new challenges and a lot of miracles! so here’s what happened! to start transfers were on thursday! My new companion is Elder Conover! super cool guy and actually took chinese class with him in highschool in which we learned pretty much nothing… haha but look at us now! he’s super solid guy from south Jordan. My new area is actually in the same area that i just served in!! haha we are opening a new area!! i don’t know if you remember but i talked about 鳳林feng lin this small area that we wanted to start opening! and guess what! i got a call from president last monday and the first thing he says to me is "Hey Elder Miner are you ready to be a country bumpkin?" and he’s not wrong my new area is sooooo rural! our city that we live in has about 3 main roads in it then its just a bunch of fields on the outside its pretty great 🙂 im in love with this new area. we have been in it a total of 4 days now and have been able to set up 3 families! whole flipping families i can’t even tell you how excited i am for them!! so we will be seeing a lot of miracles this transfer!

other than that not much… haha its been super good though! i love the mission and learned a lot from general conference! the aim with this new area is to get a small district, right now the reason they sent us down there to open is so that we cango from nothing to a small meeting house by the end of this year!! so pray for feng lin please!! as we watched conference me and elder conover just had an overwhelming feeling of confidence in this new area and the possibilities are endless with this area! love you all!!

Hello everyone!

this week was a super great week even though we had 2 days of not really being able to go outside we had some great success! On tuesday we had a typhoon come right over hualian which was super cool to be honest! it was a pretty big one but there was no serious damage done to us here. this is a picture though, taken by i don’t know who but that is a wave going nuts! haha super cool looking but everyone was safe 🙂

aside from that we had a solid day up in taipei in MLC which was super good! i know you have all already seen it but they showed a talk from conference (that we can’t see until this next weekend) the talk of uchtdorf during the womens session Fourth Floor Last Door and man it was sooo good!! go read or watch it again its got some amazing teachings in there that we all could do better on.

aside from that there isn’t much that has changed this last week. we do have transfers this next week though and from the looks of it i am moving. i have been here 3 transfers and they have already given us the tickets for those moving but have not told us who is moving haha! but i have a high chance of moving. but we will see! ill let you know next week! love you all!
