We had a good day discovering a treasure of Taiwan, the second hand store! It's basically DI for Taiwan or something like that. Needless to say I found some cool stuff for pretty cheap. And the miracle for the day is that I ran into Brother Cai from Fengshan! He was a recent convert right as I started being trained last year, and his house was one of my favorite stops. We ran into him magically in our area after 3 months of being here. Seeing him made me so happy!

We had a pretty busy day with appointments. But a miracle we saw today was that one of our members called us to give her daughter a blessing. She hadn't been feeling good, and it is amazing every time we get to use God's priesthood power to bless His children. That's really what being a missionary is all about!

Today's miracle is the friendship of one of our members named Johnny. He usually helps us with lessons in the afternoon because he goes to cooking class in the morning. Well today we had a lesson on a small island thing that is in our area, so he agreed to bus out there with us. We got off the bus too early twice. Had to walk about a half hour, and never found our lesson. But Johnny was so nice and didn't get mad at us. He says it's not the craziest thing that has happened with a lesson. We ended up having to take a ferry back to our area because we couldn't find the buses.

Today was all zone conference! There were three zones together for this one, and it was combined with a Christmas musical program, so that was pretty fun. I also got to see my trainee Elder Hansen, which is always fun. He lives at the bottom tip of the island right now, a place called Hungchuen. We also had a miracle tonight! We have been visiting a list of people that our bishop gave us, and tonight we went and knocked on the door of a member named. Huang. When we knocked a man answered who was also named Huang, but not ours. It was the only door we knocked but he invited us back later to teach him. It was crazy!

Today was mostly weekly planning and visiting people, but we met with Brother Zhong today, who really liked the lesson we taught about baptism and how ready he was. We asked him to pray about his date, and he said he would. He is such an incredible investigator! He will be baptized soon, he has so much faith. It has been so amazing to teach him.

We spent most of the morning out in the nether most parts of our area. We were working on Bishop's list and ran right into the biggest Taoist parade I have ever seen. We had to ride with it for a while to get through, and a lot of people were taking pictures. So that was good. And pretty entertaining.

Well, 6 members of my zone are moving out, but me and Elder Fuller are staying together! I'm looking forward to another transfer here in Gaoxiong! There are a lot of God's children to help and a lot of work to do. I love you all so much, and can't wait to talk to you at Christmas!
