Hello the family!
This week has been good.
We are winding down to the end of another move call here in the 台中
mission, and we have been working hard to keep our focus on the work. My companion has been telling everybody in
the area that he will not be moving, and in turn we are actually expecting to
be together here for another move call, but who knows and we will find out who
goes where next week.
Lately our mission president has been encouraging us to be
working harder with the ward members and making sure that they are involved in
all of the missionary work therefore during our DTM's as well and just during
our daily plans we have been trying to think of good ways to do just that. What we have come up with is a game night
with the missionaries which we invite the ward to come to as well as we invite
investigators so that they all have a chance to meet outside of a lesson
situation. It's kind of interesting but
it hasn't really taken off yet, but we are still trying.
Other than that though, this weekend here was what the
taiwanese people call 掃墓 or just a day for the Taiwanese people to go to their
ancestors graves, clean them up a bit then do some traditional "Bye
byeing" which is their form of praying here. But as a tradition in the mission we got
together with a ton of missionaries, went to a nearby graveyard and cleaned up
a lot of the old graves that didn't have someone consistently coming and
cleaning it up. it was kind of fun and gave us a chance to do a little service
for the people here. Attatched should be
some pictures of that =)
Other than that though we have just been doing missionary
work as it comes along and hopefully next week we will be able to see some of
the fruits of that as we have a baptism scheduled for this next Saturday, so
pray that our investigator will be able to say faithful till then =)
That's pretty much it for this week, hope that you are all
having a great week and I will talk to you next week!!!!
Love you all
