After a pretty rough week last week, things are really starting to come back around! I am currently sipping on a winter melon tea with fresh milk and mint added in. It tastes like... Christmas. Drinks are seriously a way of life over here in Taiwan! This last week was suuuuuper busy. Elder Zhao and I decided that we were going to focus more on inviting people to baptism this past week. In doing so, we went from having no baptismal goals to having 5!! 3 of them are questionable, 1 of them is solid, and the other 1 is GOLDEN. She's a bishop in another area's cousin and we're gonna dunk her the day before general conference! This week I learned a lot about the blessings of work and how when you're really working and really striving to improve yourself, mission life is a lot more enjoyable. One reason why is because when you're working on improving yourself you can see how much you need to improve and it's a lot harder to be prideful. I'm gonna really try and remember this throughout my mission because I've also learned that when you let your pride win, missions suck. I have also come to really love the Sabbath. Church is awesome over here. There are a tooonnn of little kids and babies in our ward so sacrament meeting is crazy! It sometimes worries me what our investigators think when there are like 7 babies losing their minds at the time, but the spirit is still there! I <3 Taiping.
P.s. We get to go to the temple on Wednesday and I'm stoked.
This is our 92 year old investigator Principle Chen! Notice his Patriots breast-cancer awareness hat with the rim cut off. So cool. On the right is one of our members, Tim. He helps us with lessons all the time. Great guy.
Got some real American pizza :)
