WEEKLY UPDATE--IT'S TEMPLE DAY!!

 After emailing today we are heading up to the Maokong Gondolas (its similar to a ski lift) and then going to the temple with the rest of the Taipei missionaries and THEN we celebrate the end of a wonderful transfer at our English party! Tomorrow is transfers, how crazy is that?!

At the mission home after the Temple Session.

 This week was absolutely beautiful. We had an earthquake (a small one) this past Monday. We felt it while we were riding the metro. Also, the Taiwan Government held an Air Defense Drill so during that time we were issued to stay in our apartment while planes were flying overhead and sirens were going off.

This week I learned that the people of Taiwan...they are peculiar. It's funny, those who are not members of our church are either Buddhist, Daoist or a little bit of everything. They believe that all religions are good. And because they know that there is opposition in all things (yin and yang), so long as you do good things you will be saved no matter what religion you believe in. *The Christians here believe that if you join the LDS church you will be damned. True story.

We had a ton of finding time this week and with that we were able to find many new and potential investigators and we also were able to tract into a Buddhist Bible printing facility. It rained during practically all of our finding time. When we go finding in the rain, street vendors often give us food because they feel bad for us. But we LOVE IT! Finding in the rain is the closest thing i'll get to swimming while on my mission.

We lost a couple of investigators this week due to lack of interest, unpreparedness and feelings of the sort however, Abby, one of our investigators from Mainland China has her baptismal interview scheduled for this Saturday. SO, if all goes well and her Chinese Government matters get cleared, we WILL see a baptism next Saturday!

That's all for today. Next week my P-day will be on Monday, how it usually is (which is in about 4 days). Missionary work isn't easy but it sure is simple. We teach truth and we listen to the spirit. Guys, Missions. Are. AWESOME.
