so this last week was super nuts!! first i want to say i am sorry for not emailing to the group last week we were in a rush to go play… haha no good excuse i know.. :p but anyway this week was sick!
for last p day we went up tai lu ge gorge and the hike was so sick! seriously hua lien is the most beautiful place i have ever served even more beautiful than tai dong! we took a long hike up along a cliff by a gorgeous river to this tunnel that we were able to walk through in the pitch black and the whole time water is just pouring down on us which felt amazing because its a billion degrees outside and very humid so having ice water showers was the best 🙂
then we went on an exchange this week with some elders in our zone. elders Clark and Swank they are some very great missionaries! i went with elder Clark and we found this super golden girl! she has started to progress already and im stoked! 🙂 her last name is chen.
then we were able to go up to taipei for MLC which is just all the zone leaders meeting with the president and APs. we had a super cool training on spiritual gifts and i can tell you something, we all have plenty of gifts whether or not we see them! i would invite you all spend some time and just count all the gifts you have then, pick one that you want to work on and make it legit!
then in the course of this week my companion Elder Humphries pulled two people off the street and brought them to church to hear a little message and then they both came to church this week!! the first one was this guy that almost hit him (because my companion likes to ride fast through yellow/red lights… haha) but then this guy decided that he wanted to start meeting with us which was sick!!! then the last one was the most legit things i have ever done! while taking the train back from feng lin (that little branch we started down by the bishops house) we struck up a conversation with a monk lady and as we talked with her the entire train ride she eventually agreed to come to church with us right then!! it was soo legit! i attached one picture of Elder Humphries walking with her… haha!
in short this week was awesome and we saw many miracles! also, i am now an uncle!! i am so dang excited! Karren and Jason had their baby this last week! man… god is good 🙂 love you all!!
