Hello, this week has been absolutely fabulous. One of the best weeks for sure!
So last Tuesday was our pday so we hit up the temple. Man I love going to the Temple!
At night we had 2 lessons. One with Joseph we committed him to reading the book of mormon every day! Hope he does it! After his we had another lesson witha college student he is chill. After those we went out finding for the night.
Wednesday was pretty lit. We first headed over to the mission office for a CO detector because ours is broken. On the way we ran into a guy from Utah. He is a pilot and flew too taiwan and is here for layover till he has to fly back. We talked about his job. It's very interesting. I'm pretty interested in that. I'm still not sure what to do when I get home but this could be a good option :)
At the mission office I ran into elder bluth. One of my favorites! We then got lunch and we got a mango slushie. Man it taste so dang good! Yummy
We had some lesson with our friend. We don't know how to help him but that's OK. God does. we then had a member meal with sister Luo 羅姐妹, we ate hot pot. It was super funny. 羅姐妹 is awesome. We then headed to have english group.
Thursday we had exchanges in xinzhuang 新莊. I exchanged with Elder Harrison. He is super lit. We came to taiwan together. He is super funny and we had a lit exchange. We had like 9 lessons and we found alot of friends and ate Costco for lunch. It was so awesome! One of the lessons was with Ray. I referred him over to 新莊 so it was cool to see him! He remembers me but calls me by my first name maxwell haha. He is lit. We did finding near the college. It was crazy to see alot of young people instead of old people haha. Anyways our exchange was fire!
Friday we had mission devotional online. We had a lady who 請 us coffee. Bought coffee for us. We had to tell her we don't drink coffee. She was shocked bc she is a catholic. She was like we can drink coffee. That was funny.
We had a fire pass off lesson with the sisters. The friend we had is pretty cool. We then met with our friend who got baptised just not confirmed yet. After that we ate dinner with a member who bought me some new ties. And later talked to a lit member for a little bit.
Saturday was a special day. We did quite alot of finding. It was mid but later that night we had a baptism. So we got the water and font all ready then had a great baptism service. It was for the sisters friend from a different area but their friend wanted me to baptise her so that was really special. Their friend is named 張芸萓 Zhang YunYi. So that was awesome!
Sunday was also a very special day. First we helped give a blessing to our new member tina. She has an adorable baby. She is going in for 手術 (surgical operation). So we gave her a blessing. I also got to bless the sacrament so that was fun. Blessing it in chinese is cool. I've done it once before in 土城 tucheng (my second area). Anyways we then also confirmed 黃奕呈 Huang YiCheng to be a member of Christ's church and receive the holy ghost. So that was awesome! I then had an baptismal interview online with a old guy that only speaks Taiwanese. So I would speak Chinese and a member would translate to Taiwanese. So that was so fun. After we had coordination meeting in person. We then had a member meal for lunch and another for dinner! Very blessed! Both these members families are so kind. One of them was the bishops family they have 4 kids and they are so fun. The also all speak like perfect English even tho they are super young. They also have Two pet birds. After dinner we headed over to 中和 zhonghe for a new member fireside it was so awesome. Our new member 黃奕呈 talked and shared his testimony at it! Super awesome! After that we came back home and that's about it.
Today we went to a Japanese store. It has so much random useful things then we also went to ikea. It's pretty cool. Anyways
I'm am very greatful for the restoration. Especially the restoration of all preisthood keys so that we can have these beautiful ordinances to help and influence others for eternity. This week had many chances to use the priesthood which is great! I know it was restored to earth to Joseph Smith!
I love you all,
Elder Clegg
