It was a pretty good week this week.
If you zoom in you can see Taibai 101 between the pole and the tree on the right. |
On Monday we
went to Costco again! I probably bought too much. The best investment
though was a giant jar of Nutella. I've been eating Nutella-covered
everything for the past few days. Definitely super healthy.
While we were in English class, a gust of wind blew and toppled all the bikes over Dominoe style! |
On Wednesday as we were leaving a grocery store at
dinner time, a middle-aged man stopped us and said he wanted to talk to
us. He gave us his business card and told us he was a spiritual prophet.
He showed us some pictures of ghosts and other things, and wanted to
meet with us. On Friday, Elder Morgan and I were on exchanges and so we
met with him at the chapel. Before we started talking to him, he showed
us some videos of supernatural phenomena. We figured out that this guy
goes around to church leaders all over Taiwan and tells them about
ghosts and why ghosts are important. It was really interesting to tell
him that we believed in the same things, but in a slightly different
way. We shared a lot about the plan of salvation and invited him to be
baptized, to which he agreed. We'll try to meet with him a few more
times, but we'll see how it goes.
On Wednesday we also went to visit a potential
investigator who owns a gelato cart. I really liked that visit. It's
hard to find good ice cream places here, so we might be going back to
visit him more.
If anyone wants to read a cool story about Elijah, go read 2 Kings 1:9-12.

Morgan and I have been playing Chinese chess a lot recently. We play a
game or two at 9:30 before we go to sleep. It's been really fun; it's a
neat game. Definitely different than "western chess."
Something I've been thinking about this week is that
there is really only one principle of the gospel. If we could all
completely understand that God loves us, and could understand how he
loves us, than all of the rest of the laws and ordinances would be
unnecessary. Everything else in the gospel is just to help us learn
about God's love, and we obey commandments and learn about the doctrine
in order to understand that love better. 1 Nephi 11:17
Add oil!
