A good P-day we finally went out of our area to do something. The Zone Leaders invited us and a few other missionaries to a buffet in their area since Elder Hansen had to do a language pass-off with them. So that was fun! And then that night we had a great lesson with a lady in a waffle stand who we've been trying to set up for two weeks now, and we finally got to share the Restoration, and she committed to read the Book of Mormon!

At the very end of a long day of contacting, we still hadn't found our new investigator for the day, so we hit the houses hard tracting the last 30 minutes of the night, and knocked into our new friend named Lian. He is super cool, a nice man who doesn't know why God would be important to him, but was willing to let us share a little bit about his Loving Heavenly Father. It is my favorite thing to share about God to those who don't know they can have a personal relationship with Him, and it makes me feel so happy to know that we can be tools in helping them to come to know Him.
A day full of awesome lessons. One of which is Mrs. Xu, a lady who runs a sushi stand near the high school in Puli. She is really willing to listen, and we got to sit down and share about the Book of Mormon for a few minutes. She was really happy to let us come and teach her. So she was our miracle for the day!

Well, one of our investigators showed up for his lesson.... slightly inebriated. So he wasn't in the exact right mind to accept the baptismal invite we had planned for him, but he still dearly wants to understand the truth that is in the Gospel. And he didn't crash his bike leaving, so that was a miracle!

We had a very interesting lesson sitting down with a lady in a park this week. Elder Hansen found her last week and set her up, and then when we sat down with her today, we found out she is Christian, but hasn't felt close to God ever since her brother and father died at an early age. We prayed with her and she said that was the first time in a long time she's said a prayer. She wants to come back to church, but it's just hard for her, so we shared about the Savior and how he understood everything that we've gone through. There is so much truth in this Gospel that people don't know, and I just want to share it with them! Then that night we were spending a few final minutes tracting and ran into this really quiet man named Tang. He let us into his house for a few minutes and we talked about God, because everyone needs to realize He loves them! He said he had a desire to get to know God, but didn't know how. So he agreed to let us help him.
We found Liu and his buddy today. They are some high school kids who have gone to a few Christian churches and have a testimony that Jesus exists, and they really liked talking to us about Him. It's cool to see the testimony they already have and help them add to it. They agreed to meet again later so we could share more about how the Book of Mormon can help them get closer to God.
A great sabbath, and the greatest part was that Elder Hansen and I got to give a few blessings today to some members in need. Elder Hansen told me today that he has never loved a calling more than this one, and it's amazing to think all Heavenly Father needs us to do. I'm humbled every day thinking of how sacred this responsibility is. I love being a missionary and serving God's Children! I love you all so much family and friends. I hope you have a great week!
