TZ 4 Teach Repentance. Baptize Converts.

Hello guys! What are your thoughts on the title? Before coming to Taiwan I had thoughts of talking to everyone and them wanting to meet with us again. 

But no, of course, expect the unexpected. Some would say no right away. Some would ignore us. Even some would run away from us. 

And as I think about this more and more, Heavenly Father has a time for those souls who are ready to learn and act on the gospel. It is hard finding these people. But it is such a blessing to see them change. 

I invite everyone to take time and study this talk! 

It is All about People

"Are we active in the gospel, or are we merely busy in the Church?"

TZ 3 2nd Week In Nan Tun

大家好！I've been pushing myself lately to try to talk to everyone. Since I'm not that kind of person who starts the conversation, it's really hard for me. I've talked to people on their scooters and they'd reject right away, some wouldn't even look and talk haha.

Last week I've learn more of the purpose of missionaries. "Invite others to come unto Christ..." The "others" referred is basically everyone. Members or non members. And this has so much in common with Ministering. If we think of how we can help our non members or members it is much more easier to fulfill our purpose as missionaries. And President Nelson's talk about personal revelation helps a lot too! Truly Heavenly Father is hastening his work! When we love our members and non members and think of ways to help them, we are slowly becoming like Christ.

We are all invited to come unto Christ. (Moroni 10:32) When we try to become like as He is, I promise you that you will receive joy, and peace. Have a great week!

Hello everyone! I'm at Taiwan woo-hoo! It's great to actually see people on the streets walking haha! Back in St. George we'd see only like 10 people a day on the streets. Biking is fun and hopefully no accidents will happen. Missionary work is crazy with a cellphone. Everything is at Chinese Characters. So much 看不懂！

We had stake conference yesterday and I did not understand every word they said but I definitely felt the Holy Ghost. 

I invite everyone to continue to prayerfully read the Book of Mormon. Gain a testimony of each of the doctrines contained in the book. I know that the doctrines found in the book guides our way to salvation.

Personal Thoughts about my Mission President .

 He's such a great Mission President. From the moment we had our interview, I knew that he had the desire to help the missionaries become strong. He had a talk in stake conference yesterday and it was so powerful.

He gave a talk about the missionaries. That the missionaries are willing to change. Willing to learn the language to be able to communicate with people and to show their love to them. Missionaries are willing to do anything to help to ward grow. But it's not only the missionaries job to do this. Every member needs to help. And then he connected it with ministering. Surely Heavenly Father is hastening his work by making us LOVE the people. We don't necessarily have to share the Gospel right away but as time goes they can see the Light of Christ in us and question us why there is something different in us. I know it sounds so easy but it's hard to do that's why we need the constant help from Heavenly Father by personal revelation. Meaningful prayers, asking Heavenly Father how I can be a help to this ward or stake, how can I show my love to this person. I know that work and school makes us forget these things but if we sacrifice a little time for Heavenly Father, we are contributing to his work. Also sacrificing some time to go to the temple is helping in his work.

Hey! How's everyone? Know that I pray for you guys everyday! Continue to read the scriptures and pray everyday. Make it a habit and you'll see changes in your life!
General conference has been great! And the topic that they've emphasize is the Holy Ghost. They want us to recognize the spirit more and act upon it.
I invite you guys to try to recognize the spirit more. To be able to recognize it, is we have to be worthy and to be worthy is to obey all his commandments. The holy ghost guides us in everything we do. Not only when were reading the scriptures, going to church. But if we let the spirit work on us with school and work, I'm sure all things will go well.

Hope everyone will have a great week! I love you!
