This week was short, but very good. The temple was awesome. I love going there and spending a lot of time there!
It's election week! Apparently the best way to get elected in Taiwan is to rent a truck, plaster your face on the side, and then have it drive around town with loudspeakers playing music or a speech. I've seen TONS of them this week!
Thursday we had to go across town to get to the dinner with Angel, our recent convert from Indonesia, and then back across town to another appointment with an investigator, and then back across town to get home! It was kinda crazy, but we made it every on time! Sometimes it feels like a lot of missionary work is just calling people and scheduling appointments, but it's nice when you can get past those things and help people learn the gospel!
Friday we went and did service at the Ronald McDonald charity house.
I read a great quote this week from Jeffrey R. Holland. He said: "Heavenly Father is easy to please, but hard to satisfy." God is happy with all of the little successful things that we do. He rejoices with us for the small victories and every time we do something right. But until we are perfect as He is, we won't be done, because He knows our divine potential, and will not allow us to settle for anything less!
Going to church has been interesting the past few weeks. We attend two wards and they overlap by an hour and a half. So we have to go on splits in order to attend all of our meetings. It makes everything pretty hectic on Sunday, but there's never a dull moment!
One of the Wanda members told me that my profile is very typically American and that it should be on the face of a coin. Haha I'm not quite sure what that means.
Our investigators are doing really well. We are really excited that a lot of the people we have met the past few weeks are preparing to be baptized in December, so we'll hopefully have a white Christmas!
This Saturday marks a year and a half on a mission for me!
Short weeks have short letters.
Add oil!
