"We thank thee o God for little Taiwan,,
Where I have served for over 500 days,
spreading gospel and loving all the people!
And the food is so great every day."

We had a pretty good P-Day today! After sending some letters and buying groceries, I showed Elder Fanning my gem of a second-hand store. We had some pretty awesome buys, which is obviously why we went to the roof to do a fashion show. That night we got fed by the Zhou family for Chinese New Year. They got us Pizza Hut pizza! It was really fun to get to know their family, especially since the dad works with computer manufacturing and he was just saying a lot of Chinese that we didn't understand. xD But it was still pretty fun.

We met with a new Brother Huang this morning that we ran into on the street yesterday. I knew him because he sometimes comes to English class. We actually met with him when Elder Yang was here. At the time he didn't have much interest, so we let him drop, but we just ran into him on the street yesterday out of nowhere, and something has happened in those three months that he is much more prepared to hear this message. He had a lot of questions and agreed to keep meeting with us to learn more about the Gospel. It's amazing to see how God prepares people so much to meet with us, even in the space of a few months.
Another incredibly prepared person is Sister Song. We ran into her on the street as well a few weeks ago. She has had a lot of big changes happen lately in her life that makes her feel like she needs to find a higher power to rely on. She really thinks deeply about a lot of things. Sometimes in a lesson she will go off talking about the sentence we just said and express a lot of feelings that are right in line with other Gospel teachings. Like she believes that God would send prophets to guide us and that it's a really needed thing. It is so fun to teach her!
I got my bike fixed today! A few days ago I pedaled a little bit too hard and the bearings kind of... disintegrated. So I've been riding an impaired bike for a few days. The people who repaired it were really nice and also knew the sisters because they go there quite often. Because of how small our zone is, we gathered everyone in the zone together for our training meeting today. Before that we all ate lunch at a really good Curry place. It was awesome to have the whole zone together for a training. Everyone has such good ideas and so much to share with everyone else. God really did send all of us here specifically at this time because we have something to contribute and people to bless.
Amanda (Sister Chen) is still around and we had the chance to go over to a members house and have a lesson with her. She is really starting to open up and share her questions about the message. Before she's really just been stuck on the Word of Wisdom, but we've been able to move more into her relationship with Heavenly Father, and the member that was there helped a lot with her testimony. It's crazy to think that God is trying even harder than us to help her accept this message. Because we are trying really hard!
We held a small service activity with our ward. There is an island in our area that has a beach that gets really dirty, so we headed out there this morning with a few members and other missionaries to clean it up. It turned out great! We got rid of a lot of trash and then ate some seafood afterwards. That was pretty much it today.
Last night on the road we just met a lady named Mrs. Wang who just happened to be looking for a new church to go to closer to her house. And she lives right next to our church, so she came a bit early today for a tour and really liked the meeting a lot. After our Gospel Principles class about the Holy Ghost she said that she believed that the Holy Ghost existed and felt it in class. So we are really excited for her! That was pretty much the end of our week. Every day really does have a miracle if I'm willing to look for it. I know that God reaches out to every one of His Children every day, no one gets skipped ever, He never takes a day off and never forgets about any one of us. I'm grateful to know who my Father in Heaven is and help others know as well. I love you all family and friends, have a great week of miracles!
