This week was SO GOOD. Lots going on!
For starters, we've been seeing a little baby gecko running around our room, so Tuesday
morning we decided to catch it :) After moving the couch back and forth
and back and forth we cornered it and led it into a bottle. It's only
like an inch long and so cute! The rest of the week we searched the
apartment for bugs to feed it. It liked the spider, but not the live
ants or the dead cockroach we gave it....
This week we also saw lots of miracles! Like finding two new
investigators while lost trying to find a different new investigator's
house. Also I taught my first family! (Mom, dad and kids) But then we
found out they're not in our area...but that's okay. Teaching families
is important because we really believe the family is ordained of God and
is the place we can learn best. Speaking of family! My family is all
together back in Oregon this week, (including Elise and little baby
Joseph!) yay! Instead of being sad cause I'm not there, I'm actually
happy and feel closer to them knowing they're all together.
This week was special also because our mission had a goal for every
companionship to get 3 new investigators ("No companionship left
behind") So our leaders spent the week helping everybody. And Sunday
night we had an awesome opportunity to go to XinYing (half hour away)
to help the Elders there find. Our whole district of 10 missionaries got
off the train and spread out and started tracking. It was sweet! And we
hit the goal! Yay! It made me really realize how this is God's work and
these are His children, and it didn't matter that these weren't "our"
investigators, cause in reality they're all His and everyone needs the
gospel!
The last exciting thing that happened was Sunday
night when we got home, we got a DuanChuan to come stay with us! It's a
thing they do in Taiwan where the youth can go on mini missions; sort
of try it out. So WeiJieMei is 18 and she'll be with us for a week!
We're so excited! Pulled an extra bed in the room and let our gecko
go.... (Missionaries aren't supposed to have "pets"... haha). So this
week will be great!
Wow! This week I learned the importance and power of faith and
positivity. It literally brings miracles. I don't know why or how it
works, but I know it's true! So go and do in faith! And tell me the
miracles you see!
Love you all! Thanks for the prayers!
