Week 64

 


This week has been super lit actually. I love it! We had some really lit stuff happen and worked hard. Overall a good week.




Last Monday night we had a lesson and then went out finding. That was basically it.

Tuesday we had district council in the morning we then took a bus to Costco where we had lunch! Costco is my best friend. Also reminds me of America. Basically all of it is imported from America haha. We got home and did some studies then went out. Ended up locking our keys in the apartment lol. So we went out finding then traveled over to the mission office to grab the spare key. So that was a fun trip. We go5 mcdonalds for dinner because it's one of the only things open haha. It's so fire tho.



Wednesday we went over to Costco then we had a lesson down there. It went really well. They gave us some stinky tofu to eat. I actually think it's not too bad. Yall will have to try it if you come here haha. Anyways we did some finding found our boy Issac, then had English group. At first only one person showed up so we were gonna cancel but then the homies all pulled up so that's good. We had a fire English Group! After that we got dinner.

Thursday we started our exchanges in the morning. I went to neihu for exchange with Elder Crockett. We had a really fun time. Basically only finding but it was lit. We ate some KFC. The kfc here is better than kfc in america. On the exchange the elders bike I was using chain went all wonky. So I tried to fix it but its not possible without tools. I tried so my hands turned black. I tried to clean it off. Right now there is still a little black on my nails haha. 



Friday we ended our exchange traveled straight to a lesson. It was really good. That night we had a lot of finding so we made a goal of finding 4 new people and we did. So that's really lit. Although we will see what happens with them. But yeah very tiring.

Saturday we had another morning lesson with my boy Issac. He is very interested in learning why our church is different. He also isn't into the cultural beleifes of many gods. So he said he will come to church and meet with us to learn more. We found him on Wednesday. After that we had studies finding then went to taipei for the Saturday stake conference meeting. We were singing in the choir, plus two of our friends came. It was really good. Our mission president spoke in it. His Chinese is really good and pretty funny talk. It was good to see all the members I remember from jilong. After that we showed our two friends the temple and shared a little about it. Then traveled home.



Sunday we woke up and went to stake conference. Again it was really fire! I love it. Very good to have the spirutual recharge for real. After that we came home ate lunch, personal study and planning. We then went out finding. Found a New pretty interested friend. We then had a lesson with sister tang. Instead of just the grandson snd grandaughter also came. The grandson is a little stinker but it was fun. After we had dinner and that was our sabbath day.



Today we are going to the ocean. There is some cool places to see. Should be fun! Maybe I'll add the pictures before I send this email.

Recently before I got to bed I have been doing a gratitude Prayer where I think of 20 things I'm grateful for. It feels good. I invite yall to do so aswel. It's not bad 😀.

Love yall 🥰

Thus week has been pretty dang lit for real. There was one day that was pretty tough but the others days were super lit.

Here is the rundown of the week.



Last monday we went down to the mission office where we went to the presidents home and we did Christmas decorations in their home. Yeah I know we haven't even passed Thanksgiving and they are puting up Christmas stuff haha. That was fun we played some games and stuff. That night we had some good finding. 

Tuesday was cool. I ran into a pretty lit lady who said they wanted to go to church. They live in jilong. Hope they go :). Out of the blue we had a member call us and we pulled up to their home. Where they invited a friend and we had a cheeky lesson. The guy is great! After we did some more finding. At 7 we met up with a member just to chat and share a message. They are pretty lit. Recently we share Temples and why they are important. So that's nice. That night we called a referral and he is so lit. We set up a time to meet.



Wednesday we started an exchange in the morning. I'm going with Elder Lin again. He is so lit. We ate Costco for lunch then had a lesson afterwards we gave a couple blessings which was great. After we did some finding then had a lesson with a new member. Afterthat we had English group. It was pretty fun. We played jeopardy. So that was lit!



Thursday we traveled to yilan where we had zone council and we also exchanged back. We got kfc for lunch then headed back to the area. Where we did finding and then had a lesson with our friend. She is pretty old and her body not great. So it's hard for her to get to church plus she has to take care of her grandkid like 24/7. Her grandkid is a punk but super adorable! 

Friday we helped out a member for a little bit. After that we basically did finding. This member is super lit and was fun to talk to.



Saturday we had a bunch of finding. Ate some Costco. And at night we went to visit a member. Their family has 4 kids and 3 of them have served missions. They are a cool family and strong in the gospel. So yeah.

Sunday we pretty cool. We had some of our friends come to church which is nice. We then had choir practice and had lunch together. After that we went over to a new members home and visited with him. He has two cute cats and a hamster so that's pretty lit. The cats are so cute. They just want to run away but you can pick them up and move them around however you want and they don't get mad. So that is fun. Afterwards we did some stuff. Then had a new member lesson. We got him all prepared for the temple yay!



Today we were planning to go to the coast to see some cool stuff but ended up that the bus has changed routes and we can't go online to see its no route so we didn't go :( probably next week! 

My week was really awesome!

Recently I've been learning about the Book of Mormon. And how it has been written for our day. It even says so in the scriptures and also many talks mentioned it aswel. So I inviteyall to go read the book of mormon more!

I love yall

Metro booming - Week 61

 


This week has been pretty epic! I'll give yall the rundown



Last monday we had decided after taking our weekly trip to Costco ❤️! We decided to go bike up to this lake and yeah we took our bikes on a stroll around it. And we ran into this fish just chilling on the land. Some kind of sucker fish. So I picked homie up and threw him back. After we went on a hike. That was fun! 

Tuesday we messaged friends and stuff. Lunch and planned some lessons. After that we had our apartment inspection. It was fun to talk to the couple missionaries. We passed our inspection! After did some finding, had some lessons not go threw. One of them did. He is pretty lit. That was 差不多.

Wednesday we had some finding and other stuff. A lesson with a new member. We watched the temple tour video and taught about the temple. It went really well. Afterwards we had our english group. This time I teached the 'advanced' people. we talked about entertainment. It was great. 


Thursday we had district council. Ate an expensive lunch. It was kind of a scam. That night we had two awesome lessons. One with a friend who through all her life was told our church is terrible, the people are terrible. But then she had a friend who lived in Utah and said we were all so nice. Then she started being intrested. So even though there is lots of hate. There is always a way. I got the news of a new comp snd my other comp is moving.  So that's fun.

Friday was also really good. We sent off my Comps bike away. At night we had two very fire lessons. The hardest lesson to teach is the plan of salvation I think. But we taught the first part and it went well. Next lesson was also great. Our new bishop helped in the lesson! He is literally the best 陪課. He is so lit. I'm going to miss him when I leave.


Saturday we woke up got ready and went into taipei for transfers. We watched all the greenies get assigned. Then Then I picked up my new companion and we went back to our area. It was good to see all the people at transfers. We did some finding and some studies and yeah good times. I ran into this girl and she was really interested in coming to church!

Sunday was pretty lit. We pulled up to church. And alot of our friends  ended up coming. Along with the girl I invite. Most of them seemed to like it. We practiced singing for the stake conference. It was pretty fun. Afterwards, we ate lunch.It was pretty lit. We walked home and had personal study and did planning for the week. Messaged alot of people and ate dinner. That was our day. 

Today we went to Costco for lunch. And now we are going to look at a bunch of random tourist sites in the city. Hopefully it will be cool. We also have some fun plans for the future ones.


I hope everyone has been doing well.
I love you all,
