Last week we had a sweet p-day which got the week started really week. We have some really cool investigators right now that are all 20-23 years old. They're all becoming really good friends with each other because they see each other at church and other activities. It's pretty cool that in addition to members supporting investigators, we now have investigators supporting investigators! We've been working really hard with our friend Brother Wang aka Pony. We have had some intense lessons lately. In one lesson, Pony was asking what the real difference is between being baptized now and being baptized in a year. Our member that was there shared a super powerful testimony about baptism and then at the end I had the chance to share my thoughts. The spirit was super strong as I simply stated that the real difference between baptism now and baptism later is the gift of the Holy Ghost. A few days later, Pony passed his baptismal interview!!!!! BUT, that night he told his mom about it (he hadn't mentioned it before), and his mom DOES NOT want Pony to be baptized. We think that his mom probably just doesn't understand what baptism and the church is really about so we invited Pony to help his mom understand what baptism means and what it means to him. Unfortunately, this means that Pony will be waiting to be baptized until further notice. In other news, this week is mission tour and Elder Funk of the seventy is coming. I get to go back to Jia Yi and hang out for a day which will be sweet. Elder Huang continues to be a fantastic missionary and companion. He is really good at thinking and analyzing things. With two weeks left of this transfer I'm really trying to not be area-trunky. It's really hard though after being here for over 6 months! I love Zhang Hua, but I'd also love to see something new. Well we'll see what happens soon! For now, I just gotta put my shoulder to the wheel and add some oil!

Last P-day we went to Lugang! One of the oldest towns in Taiwan. We went on the national day so there were a lot of people there. So much Asian stuff. So cheap!
I love our ward #mexicanfood
