GuoNian is Almost Here!

Beautiful Taiwan

Next week is Chinese New Year! (GuoNian). Woo-hoo! Which means we get to go over to member's houses for meals and almost no one else will want to meet with us, haha. It'll be so fun! (It's Taiwan's equivalent to Christmas. But it's a whole week, haha.)

This week we rode out to our investigator FuJieMei's house almost everyday. She's preparing to be baptized and she's so awesome! She's a mom with 3 boys, and she's got so much faith! But that was pretty tiring; it's almost an hour bike ride there and back, but worth it.

We also went to GaoXiong for Zone Training meeting. We didn't ride our bikes there, we took a bus, haha. We talked a lot about the importance of church and why we invite people to church. Church is important! You should go!

Truck-full of pigs! Common. Sometimes ducks or chickens!

Today we're going to go hike a mountain. I'll tell you how it goes next week :D

Last week we also taught a lot of people about the Book of Mormon. It's super important. We explained to some investigators this week about the keystone example. Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon from an ancient record of scripture by the power of God. If this book is true that means Joseph Smith was telling the truth, he's God's prophet, this church is God's church, Thomas S Monson is a living prophet today, and everything else with it is true. If the Book of Mormon is not true, Joseph Smith pulled off the biggest lie ever and none of it is true. Just like a keystone in an arch, the Book of Mormon holds all the truths we teach in our church together. So. Go read the Book!!

Have an awesome week! Tell me how your reading goes next week :)
