With the Book of Mormon going on before!"

Today was an adventure, we went up to Taichung for some things we needed to get at the Mission home and didn't get back till really late, so that was honestly today, but I do love how much we can use our new technology to keep us in touch with all of our investigators. I don't think I've ever appreciated how much investigators need our sustaining influence, or rather that of the Spirit. It is so important to helping them gain their own testimony.

We had our exchanges with the Assistants today, they came down from Taichung to work with us for a day. That was pretty cool. We met with one of their recent investigators that lived down here who went inactive two weeks ago, come to find out that it's just a verse of scripture that she read incorrectly, but she was willing to leave the church over it. It was crazy, because she has a really strong testimony, and we asked her if she prayed about it, and she said she hadn't. It reminded me of 2 Nephi 9:29. We have to hearken to God in all things.

We sent the Assistants on their way and immediately started another exchange with a group of Elders in our zone. They are really hard workers and it was fun to be with them. We saw a cool miracle. We were dropping off a birthday card to a member and decided to tract around a bit. The first part wasn't great. But then we knocked our last door of the night and ran into a kid called Shuiping. He was just sitting there gaming, and come to find out he does it after work to make extra money for his family. We showed him the Book of Mormon and he was super interested and wanted to take it and read it. We'll meet with him next week.

We had our first call in meeting with the Stake Presidency, usually we go over there to Shizhong to meet at the first Thursday of every month, but we were able to call in and keep working in our area afterwards, which is super nice. I'd call it a miracle.

All day today was Mission Leadership Conference. We just discussed phones and protocol and how to get the new phones to the missionaries. They basically just handed us a box of smartphones and told us to get them back to Gaoxiong. And we made it! The best part is Brother Zhong passed his Baptismal interview! He still isn't sure about a date though.

All this morning was helping the District leaders get their phones figured out. It took a long time because Technology. And then we had weekly planning and a lesson and ate and had time to drop off a birthday card for a less active member who rejected it. I was feeling pretty bitter until we were leaving and we ran into some guy in the lobby who came up and started talking to us out of nowhere. We talked a little bit about God and set him up. It was a cool miracle!

We had a good Sacrament, a few of our investigators showed up and we had a good talk on temples which was really good. I miss going to the temple. And then we visited Brother Cai, a less active member who we're trying to help come to Church. Then tonight we ate with Brother Wei our RC and his family and a member family, it was super fun!
I love you all friends and family. I hope you have a great week staying close to the savior.
