This week was nuts. Brother Dai received the gift of the Holy Ghost! We are getting him stoked on the idea of going on a mission. It would change his life forever. And he isn't doing anything right now, so why not?
We saw such a huge miracle with working with less-actives kids. A couple weeks ago we met with a brother Zheng Zhi Hua and he told us that he would like his kids to have an opportunity to learn the Gospel. Well, we met with them yesterday and they are so GOOD. Their names are Zheng Yi Hong and Zheng Jing Yun. The first one is the older brother. He is my same age and is a senior in College. The younger one is a younger sister. She is 13 and loves Japanese.
Finding through less-actives is the way to do missionary work! Because we found them and they are now very stable investigators. We know where they live and they actually have real interest in learning about the Church and about Jesus Christ. The coolest part was the Meimei(little sister). When we first got there she didn't say anything. She seemed pretty cold and had no interest in what we were sharing. But towards the middle she shares with us that she has always had interest in Christianity and that she feels out of all the religions Christianity can bring the most happiness! At the end she said she had many questions and as we were meeting with her all of her questions were answered about Christianity. They are so willing and excited to learn about the Gospel. It is so refreshing to teach people who actually want to learn. Who actually have a desire to know about the Gospel. When we invited them to be baptized the Meimei said, "Wo hen xiang." She really wants to be baptized! And the Gege(older brother) was also really willing as well. So very cool. That was such a tender mercy from the Lord and we are so very grateful. And you know what else President Day, this shows that turning our two area's in to one area was completely inspired. Because if our areas weren't put together I probably wouldn't have called Zheng DX and we never would have met with him or his kids. So... it was inspired and God is truly leading this work. He is leading us to His prepared children. Because these kids feel like they are truly prepared to accept the Gospel. And as they come to Church, their dad is coming back at the exact same time! The dad can prepare to receive the Melchezidek priesthood and be a worthy priesthood holder in his house. So many blessings. This Church is true.
That was probably the coolest miracle we saw this past week. But there were many more. On Easter everyone in Taiwan doesn't celebrate Easter and the Ward forgot it was Easter... That was a bummer. I was pretty stoked for some awesome talks on the Savior. But, my companion and I saw a video last week on Mormon.org all about the Savior and because of Him everything is possible. It blew me away. You can all go watch it. Lately I've been reading Jesus the Christ like crazy. This book has changed my life. It has taught me so much about our Savior, everything He did, He taught, and who He really was. I am so grateful for the words of living prophets.
This Church is true. I know it without a shadow of a doubt.
I love this work and I love our brothers and sisters here in Taiwan.
I love you all. Keep it real. I'll see you in less than a month.
