their unfamiliar tones are played.
They sound is strong and rocks right on
With peace on earth 傳教 to men!"

Elder Fanning and my first P-Day in the area together! We took our bikes out to the island just off the mainland and ate with an RC and the sisters. Some really good seafood! After that was just some contacting in our area getting Elder Fanning familiar with the place. It's such a good area, and I'm so happy I can stay another transfer here.

We met with our Bishop today, Bishop Fu and his wife are both converts and area great example of member missionary work. We discussed a few things that we could do to start strengthing the members and went to find some service opportunities. It was cool because we actually found a few community leaders that were willing to talk to us and give us chances for service! We'll be helping clean a park this Saturday. Elder Fanning is a great missionary. He's really got a strong point in making sure we talk to everyone, which I really appreciate. It's already started to bring around new miracles as we really try to reach out to everyone in our proselyting.

We also have had some good luck as we go looking for some members who haven't been active in a while. We found Sister Huang at her house when we went to deliver a birthday card for her nephew who is also a member. Turns out she is an RM and served her mission in France, which is really cool. She agreed to let us come over and meet her next week so we can start helping her come back into the gospel, and we continue to find people outside as we talk to everyone on the way to where we are going. The work is going well!

We headed right up to Taichung today to have exchanges with the Assistants to the President. One of them is Elder Councill, who was in my district in the MTC, and I got to exchange with him! That was really fun, in that we got a lot of good work done and it was amazing to see how much we both have grown. It has also been absolutely freezing cold here for us. I don't know exactly how cold, but I have worn the Jacket I bought last winter every day this week.

We headed with the assistants over to Mission Leadership Council today. It's so good to be there and get to discuss with all the other mission leaders the things we can do to help our individual zones and missionaries. I feel like the discussions we have really provide us with some solid revelation on the things that we can do to continue heading upward. We also got tickets for the ride home this time, so we didn't have to stand all two and a half hours!

We met with our RC Brother Zhong today. He is so good. He told us that he even invited his dad to come meet with us that morning, but he was a little busy. It's cool to see how much the gospel lights up his life and how he is starting to share it with everyone even without us pushing him. He even invited his best friend to his baptism a few weeks ago! We also met with our long-time investigator Sister Chen. She is having a really hard time accepting that she has to give up her coffee to join the church, and it's been quite hard trying to explain to her the reasons why, but as we strengthen her testimony of Heavenly Father, she'll know that all the things we don't understand right now are really for our good.

Elder Fanning is also really good at getting to know the members really fast. He just has a way of getting a conversation going and really making the people feel like he's listening. After church, we went to the far end of our area to meet with our investigator Pat from last Sunday. He is so prepared, but we also had to hand him off to the sisters in the neighboring area, so it was a little sad. But he gets to learn the Gospel either way, which is great!
And just like that, it was a miracle-filled week with a lot of amazing children of God placed in our path. I hope that all of us will pray with renewed fervor this week that we can recognize the opportunities God gives us every day to serve those around us. I know they are always there and that we can really be tools in His hands if we have Faith enough.
Have a great week!
