Quite the P-Day! We emailed, got some groceries taken care of, and then went to go eat at Tang Mama's house! She fed us some tangy pork that we still have to pick out the name for, and then we had Pumpkin Cheesecake which was so, amazingly, good. Wow, it was so great. Then Elder Hansen made a cool looking scripture case and bought some rice hats that we wore around the apartment looking super shuai. (handsome) Then tonight we had a lot of finding time where we, you guessed it, found some cool people! We actually ran into a kid today in a 7-11 that recognized us from when we tracted his neighborhood a few days ago and said his mom wanted us to come back and visit them. So that was really cool!
What a full day! We went out tracting this morning and didn't really see anything, but we met a few cool people on the streets and talked to everyone we saw. I swear, Elder Hansen's breaker is going to think I'm the best missionary ever, but just don't tell him Elder Hansen came that way. Then tonight we ate at a members restaurant who has free ice cream. So you can imagine we go there quite often. After that we went to a lesson that we set up with the Old couple we met a few days ago. They didn't show, so we just went to their house instead. They were there and said they were definitely coming... tomorrow. So we had a communication breach there, but it's okay. Now we have an awesome member who speaks Taiwanese that can help us, because the wife barely speaks any Chinese. Party!

So we had a fantastic morning. Elehan came and we finally, FINALLY got to teach the plan of Salvation. He seemed to really like it, but he was super tired until the end because he just got off working the night shift. Then the moment came, and we offered a baptismal invite, and Elder Hansen asked him if he would be willing to get baptized on August 19, and he said YES!!! He's ON DATE BABY!!! I mean- *Very properly brushes self off and clears throat* We are all very excited for him. Then the rest of the day was spent running around to lessons and contacting, which was all very fun and entertaining. We finished off the night with an English spiritual share about serving others and watched Gordon B. Hinckley's message "Lessons I learned as a boy." It was so good! I know that there are lots of small ways we can serve those around us every day, and I know it will always be a bigger blessing to them than we could ever see ourselves.
We practiced for singing in Zone Conference on Friday this morning, and that went well. After which we were contacting and this old guy just told us to follow him to his house. We did and taught a little lesson about the Book of Mormon, and he said we could come back again on Tuesday and tell him more. He also showed us his garden, which was pretty cool. Then this afternoon we were going to have a lesson with the cool Huang Family we found, but it was pushed an hour back, so we had to find a different member to go with us, and then it got cancelled all together, so we didn't get to teach tonight. But we did get to visit a member who just had surgery and give her a blessing, so that was pretty cool.

We had a great Zone Conference this day, which I translated three hours of for some Taiwanese Missionaries, so that was stressful but super fun! We talked a lot about the importance of obedience and how the more exact we are in obedience and the more patient, the greater blessings we'll see as we work. That was mostly it for today with all the traveling.
We did some service for the sister's investigator pulling weeds this morning and then did some weekly planning, after which we hit the streets at night and found some really cool people to come to church tomorrow.

We didn't have anyone come, until second hour when one of our investigators showed up with his daughter! SO that was really good. Then tonight we got to hit the streets hard, placed a few Book of Mormons and set up some return appointments. Things are really going to be rolling this week!
Ah, my dear family and friends, I'm so excited for the times ahead. There are good and bad, but it's all part of my mission. All part of this life on Earth. I only get one. Isn't that just the coolest. And I get to be here telling Heavenly Father's children all about it. I love this mission and the less-than-a-year I have to serve him. It's time to go all in, because we never get another shot!
