I love you all SO much! Time is truly flying and emotions are all over the place. This week has been good but has had its challenges too. It really has hit me that I can not see God in my reflection and that is why I am having these challenges.
Next week i will be e mailing on Wednesday!
Last Monday we hit the streets ready to see miracles. WE had been contacting a while and run into a Chen XJ. She asks us how much success do you have from what you do? We ask her what do you mean. She goes how many people actually do join your church and how many people stay. I told her that I don't know the statistics. However, I told her that any success we have is not ours but is God's. We shared with her about the BOM and Joseph Smith. She told us that she went to church with her friend once and she did not understand a lot of the words they used. She asked will it be the same in your church. I told her we have a class called Gospel principles and you can go there and they will teach the basics of our church.
The next person we meet is a Ni2 XJ. She is so cute! We shared with her the BOM and baptism. It was really a great lesson. We asked her if she would want to be forgiven of her sins and she says yes. We testified to her that through baptism she can be forgive of her sins. She set a date to be baptized on May 31! She has test all this week but set up to meet with us next Tuesday night!
Thursday night we were able to go out contacting with Bonnie one of our YSA. She was super nervous. She struck up this conversation with a mom. It turns out the mom is also Christian. We shared with her Joseph Smith's first vision. She says that she is too busy to meet not but we gave her our number. I hope she calls one day.
The next person we meet was also a Christian. She tells us I was baptized 2 months ago. We talked with her about Joseph Smith and the BOM. We were able to give her our number before she left.
Friday was AMAZING!!!!!!! Elder Wilson (he actually replaced Elder Perkins) came and did a mission tour. We were able to receive training about how to better use the BOM in teaching. It was so powerful.
Saturday we meet a Xu XJ. She is so golden but she does not have time to meet because she words every day from 10 am to 10 pm! We shared with her BOM and baptism. We were able to give her a copy of the BOM and she was excited to go home and read it. We were able to give her our number.
Lately the Bishop Li has really been focusing on Less Actives. He has given us list after list. We have been going through them and are excited to work with them.
I love this work. I love being able to share with the people of Taiwan the message of the restoration. I know that this is the true church on the earth. I know that God gives us challenges to help us become like him.
Love
Eliza
