In Taiwan, everyone and their dog has a motorcycle!


Can I just say that the Zoo was way cool! This week has been so AWESOME!!

Now for this week's miracles :)

- We have 8 baptismal date investigators who are on the straightaway to preparing for baptism within the next month. We are estatic!

- The people here LOVE to feed us! We always come home at the end of the day with either a bag of food or a full stomach.

- During english class this past week, our students learned the word, "Beach". Picture middle aged chinese men saying, "beach" with their chinese kouing(accent)...I just about DIED laughing..They also came up with a very creative story about Sally selling sea shells on the beach and then there was a tsunami and a shark attack and then someone caught a sword fish and then a one legged man drinking a coconut on a deserted island....English class is lots of fun. 

- When you sit down in a restaurant and you listen closely to the music playing, the music that they play is completely random. It will start off playing some Jason Derulo, and then some piano blues, and then a bit of John Legend and then some french accordion music. Since I have been on my mission, I have a newfound appreciation for music. Especially music that makes me feel good.
          -Since I have been here I have eaten pigs'  blood, sheep balls, duck blood and intestines.
          Good stuff.
- We went on exchanges this week. I was with a new companion, in a new area and it was incredible! We saw so many miracles that day as we talked to everyone. We found many new investigators, a number of potentials and received lots of phone numbers. We even gave out a couple of copies of the Book of Mormon. 

- So, in the mission field we have goals. How many investigators, how many lessons, how many peikes (lessons with members present) etc...I have noticed that missionaries who are only focused on getting these numbers are less likely to reach them. However, missionaries who have these goals in mind but whose main focus is to spread the gospel and serve those around them will almost always meet if not succeed these goals.

- This past week we helped a member move into her apartment and unpack dongxi (things). I have been trying to find more ways to do service here but I still have not found a way YET.

- People here think I am Indian..

- We found a Costco! Yes, they have a Costco in Taiwan.

Chinese Piano
- Went to teach a member lesson and ended up being taught how to play a Chinese piano! Those things are way cool!!

- McDonalds puts sesame seeds in their oreo mcflurries...

- We met a Jehovah's witness on our way to church. We walked with her to our chapel, invited her in for a tour. Met with her, answered her questions about our church, taught her lesson one, gave her a book of mormon and set up a time to meet with her again.

- **Fun fact. When you are tracting, if you happen to see red light bulbs and it isn't Guonian (New Years) chances are you have found your way to a brothel. If you knock on the door and ask if you can share the gospel with them, they will tell you that they are very busy with work.

Well guys, it is a BEAUTIFUL day today and I am going hiking :) I Love you all! Until Next week! HAPPY Easter!!!
