Minxiong is awesome. Since everybody has returned from winter break, there's a lot more going on! That in combination with the blessings from power week, we now have a really solid pool of investigators which includes a nurse, a military man that served in the middle east with U.S. troops, and an Indian guy (just to mention a few). We're hoping that we can continue seeing these people progress. We have a great branch that is really caring and supportive of our investigators. I really hope we can see some friends step into the waters of baptism soon mainly for their own salvation obviously but also because I think it would really help the branch. Our branch president, President Li, and his wife are some of the greatest people ever! They're taking us out to dinner again and this time it's to a super nice buffet! I can't believe how well I eat here in Taiwan... Elder Jackson is a wizard. Literally. He is crazy good at magic tricks and he uses them to teach the gospel which is even cooler! Becoming senior companion has been a little bit stressful just because I'm now the one that has to make most of the decisions and I'm now the one with better Chinese but I feel like it's made me strive to work harder and Elder Jackson is a stud so it's not too difficult! This past week the coolest thing I have realized is that I have really come to love the people of Taiwan. I don't know these people but I feel for them in a way that I didn't before. There was a moment this week where I felt like I really had a better understanding of the love that Christ has for each and every one of us. He's always there to lift us up as long as we let him! I don't know why but that just reminded me of a quote I read the other week by Howard W. Hunter “If our lives and our faith are centered upon Jesus Christ and his restored gospel, nothing can ever go permanently wrong.” Man, I feel like the mission has turned me into the Grinch at the end of the story where his heart gets like 3 times bigger. It's all about love!
Love,Elder Poon
Lunch with Mr. Zhao again. Teppenyaki!
Finally ate the lemon squares that Dora sent for Xmas! Also, Elder Parker and I are in the same district again! Wahoo!!!
This is in our neighborhood's local court yard area. Elder Jackson is pondering this question, "If a pineapple and an apple got in a fight? Which one would win?"
