"I'll go where you want me to go dear Lord,
From Tainan to Douliu!"

We had a pretty good last Pday as a district. We got some shopping done, shared a Costco pizza and then decided to bike out into the boonies to look at some wildlife. We may have been accosted by dogs, but it wasn't anything a few rocks couldn't take care of. After that was took a final stop at the beach to say goodbye to the ocean, then went and got some Taiwanese ice to finish off the day. We went up to the mall to contact, and talked to some cool people. No one set up tonight, but we got to raise a warning voice, for which I am grateful.

We met Flora for the last time today before she leaves for America for a month. We taught about prayer and how God really listens to us. It was a great lesson, and afterward she gave me a tie! It was so nice of her. I really hope Elder Bode keeps getting to work with her. We also taught Jeff the last half of the Plan of Salvation today and he said he believed it. I'm so excited for him! He has a date for the 23rd of June to be baptized.

Not much to mention from today. We went out, worked hard and sweated a lot. Bikes are our main mode of transportation, so that's always fun to try and handle. But we drink lots of water and try to stay hydrated. I taught English class for the last time in Tainan, and I said goodbye to all my English friends.

I also taught my last DTM today. We talked about testifying often, and I thought it was really cool to think more about how God needs our specific testimonies where we are, He can handpick who is where, when, and wherever you are in a mission, it's because God wanted you there. We also taught an English class at the city hall building today. They invite us over every couple weeks for it. So that's cool. Last was correlation with Peter our ward mission leader. He's so great! Probably the best leader I've had on island.

Weekly planning brought a lot of good thoughts about things we can do now to help our Investigators progress, it was weird because at the time we didn't know who was going to be moving where, so we were both really sad about leaving our Investigators! After that brought a bit of contacting and a surprise lesson with Jeff. He set up with us and we taught him about the temple. He said he wanted to go there some day and I wanted to start singing.

A good day of working on the streets. We contacted people by the train station in our area. There is always a good group of people waiting for the train to bring their friends, and we got to talk to a lot of people up there, including a very drunk man who said his job was drinking and a another who believes in the lion king "circle of life" more than religion. Interesting. Tonight we taught Jeff about tithing, and he said he would pray about it! And it was a week full of lasts, not because training is over, but because my destiny takes me to Douliu to live out my last 6 weeks. Let's get ready for some miracles, folks.

Said goodbye to all my ward friends today. It's incredible how fast time has gone by. I have 6 weeks to make this next area the best area I've ever served in, so I'll be doing my best to turn their whole world on its head in Douliu. I'm excited, sad to leave Elder Bode my grown up boy, and all my ward friends and awesome Investigators, but I know God's hand is in this! He is guiding me to miracles and joy in the work. And here we go.
Geronimo!
