Week 40

It has been a great week! Of course!

We have been getting no showed a lot lately... very few first lessons actually show. But we have been blessed to go outside and meet more people and have quick sit downs with them. Truly a blessing!

We have continued to work with less actives this week and we have seen so many blessings. We found 2 sweet families. One family's story is just a miracle. It all started with one daughter, Sister Chen, joining the church and then over time the whole family joined but now they are all less active. Went to go visit them this week and found out that there is a little granddaughter that just turned 8 and wants to get baptized. I truly believe this will help this family become active again and continue to see the blessings of the gospel. Sister Chen and her parents all came to sacrament on Sunday and heard the beautiful message from the Taiwan Taipei Temple President and his wife. What a beautiful way to get their focus to the temple!

We are seeing great blessings everywhere. Cute Bree (cute girl from last week.. here teaching english) went to church again yesterday and I believe she went to an activity up in TaiZhong on Saturday night. We continues to keep running into her and it has been such a blessing to have little moments to share gospel principles and we are planning to go to lunch with her on Wednesday so we hope we can find more ways for her to see and receive the blessings of the gospel again.

Today we had a fun outing with one of our investigators, Sister Lin. She is so pretty and is such a humble, genuinely good person. We went up to Ba Gua Shan with her today. I just love her!

A little note from President Bishop's letter again... I just loved it. "Sister Bishop and I attended the baptism of a Brother Huang whose wife joined the church 7 years ago.  She has been praying for his conversion since then.  Some 芖い Τ 快 猭 missionaries were able to invite him and help him come unto Christ.  Brother Huang now has the priesthood and will be able to baptize his daughter when she turns 8 in October.  The family is planning on being sealed in the temple in one year.  As far as temple work is concerned, they will be especially busy because his genealogy goes back 1300 years. Brother Huang proudly showed Sister Bishop and me the pedigree chart going back 25 generations of Huangs.  He is anxious to get started doing temple work."

The work is truly moving along here in Taiwan and I am so grateful to be a part of it!

I love and miss you all!!!!

Until next week!
