I'm trying to talk in Chinese, and Taiwanese just in case!"

A fun day of not knowing exactly what to do for P-Day! We wandered around our area for a little bit and found a cultural center, but it was closed because it was Monday, that happens here quite a lot. Oh well. But we found some other Elders and a board game shop, so that was all we needed. We had a pretty good time! Then the night was spent on the town! (Proselyting)

We met with our baptismal goal investigator Sam. He is set for the middle of December, the 15th! And so is Brother Zhong. We are trying to set up his Baptismal interview this week so he'll be ready. It's so exciting! We taught tithing today, which he said will be a challenge, but he was willing to pray about it. Then tonight we had a member named Johnny help us make a pumpkin pie from scratch, which was really hard, but also fun! We are going to use it for a Thanksgiving activity.

We went and found a less active member today named Shan. She was coming to church a little while ago, so the bishop sent us to find her. She was willing to meet and is really cool! We text her scriptures every day that she can go read and she committed to coming to church next week! We also met with Brother Zhong today and taught about the importance of the Sacrament. It was so cool to see him understand the sacredness of that time. It also helped me to remember why it was so important as well.

We went to the district meeting in a neighboring area and celebrated Thanksgiving with them! They brought pie to the meeting, and then we all headed out with full stomachs to proselytize. We also got to eat with Michael, one of Elder Fuller's converts from a previous area. He came down to visit us and it was just cool to see how much impact all our missionary service is having wherever we go. He is a Filipino and spoke really good English too!

We went on exchanges today, but the best part of the night was going to the Lin family's house with Brother Wei, our recent convert and starting to review the missionary lessons. It was cool to hear the family's conversion experience, and it is amazing to see how well they are taking care of Brother Wei and Sister Xu. I was worried because Sister Xu has been working lately and I haven't been able to get in touch with her, and on Sunday we come to find out she already has visiting teachers and they have been visiting every week with her and re-sharing the lessons. This is the best ward in the world.

Sister Luo met with us again! She has been coming to Sacrament regularly, and we met and discussed the importance of scriptures today, which she seemed to like. She is such a great and humble woman. She wants to learn so much about the Gospel and is looking forward to how it can change her life.

A good Sabbath. We went to church with our investigators and got to mingle with them and the members a lot. We have also had a lot of chances to work with the Less Active members in our ward which is great. Then tonight we Visited the Pan family. The dad is from Canada and the wife is from Taiwan. They are a pretty funny family and it was a pretty great week.
I love the gospel so much! I love how my mission has helped me make the Savior a bigger part of my life, because I need His help so much. I'm so grateful for His Sacrifices for me, and the way He will always help me up.
Have a great week my friends and family.
