The Perfect Storm June 11, 2016

Zhang Hua is catching fire. Everything is just coming together right now! Elder Storey and I have only been together for a total of two weeks now, but we are already great friends and a unified companionship. We have been blessed beyond belief this week. We have seen a plethora of righteous miracles! We were also blessed this week to have a short-term missionary come and serve with us! His name is Brother Xu and is from a place called Dou Liu. He just graduated high school and wanted to get a taste of missionary work so he got sent over here to Zhang Hua! My first tripanionship! It was awesome. We were able to be REALLY effective having an extra companion (and cause he's Taiwanese). Also, a typhoon hit Taiwan this week!!! We were told on Thursday night to not leave our apartments the next day due to the typhoon. However, in Zhang Hua it was WEAK. Honestly, it was like another normal rainy day. However, because we were still supposed to be in our apartment. Elder Storey and I made the goal to call 1,000 people that day. It was legendary. We didn't quite get there because we were told at 12:00 that we could go outside, but those calls set up a lot of people. So many miracles happened I don't have time to describe them but the best part is that Elder Storey and I know that we didn't do anything special, the Lord is just preparing a way for his work to come to pass! Tomorrow we get to meet President Teh for the first time so that'll be cool! Oh, and turns out that the Blickenstaffs home ward is where my friend Landon is serving right now! Crazy! Miracles!
