We had a good time eating at a buffet for the Dragon Boat festival! There werent any activities nearby, so we didn't see any dragon boat races, but it was still fun to go out with our convert friend Cheng and eat ourselves to death. After that we also had a hot pot dinner with Sister Yang, a member from our ward. It was a super spicy Mala hot pot, which left scars on my stomach but was really really good.

A rather uneventful Tuesday as far as Tuesdays go. We did some service sorting books in the morning, but it rained almost every day this week, which drives Taiwanese people off the streets entirely. So we spent some time scanning the streets for any signs of life while going around visiting some members.

Rain again spoiled some of our plans today. We were mostly contacting since our Investigators are busy with end of year tests at the college in our town. We did get to teach English class tonight though! We had three new people come, which was really cool. Afterwards for our spiritual share we watched a Mormon message and shared some Scriptures. Because of Him is probably the best one ever made.

All of today was Zone conference. My last. We had some good training about how we can improve how we find people by really making it personal to us. They are our brothers and sisters after all. And then they invited the departing missionaries to give their final reflections. Which included me. And five other elders in my zone, so that was fun. Half my MTC group was there. And then we said our final goodbyes to President and Sister Teh. They will fly out this coming Friday or Saturday, and it'll be a while before I see them again.

We had a great weekly planning that I feel was really filled with Revelation. After that we met with a less active brother named Lin. He is pretty cool, and agreed to start a challenge we are doing with the members about reading the Book of Mormon every day for a week to see what happens and let them share their testimonies with Investigators. Tonight we also had to bike really far to find a member's house, and they weren't there, so that was funny. xD

A pretty good day! We met with Brother Liu and Sister Xie, two really active members in our ward, and we invited them to start our Book of Mormon challenge as well. Then this afternoon we spent looking for a member, and we didn't actually find him in the end, because the addresses here and totally screwed up. Like 6 was right next to 19, and there was four of each. Then 45 was down the road some....

We had a great Sabbath with three Investigators at church! One of our members even brought her boyfriend! It was so cool. After the meetings we Had a lesson with Brother Chu, and older man who is really sick but really wants to learn about the Gospel. It seems to give him a lot of hope. We set a goal for the 14th of July, right before I go home. So let's see if we can't see some miracles happen here.
And let's be honest, how could I not see miracles in this work? Even if the miracle is just me being a better person, being more repentant and more grateful for the work Jesus Christ has given me. Have a great week everyone! It's a gift!
