It's been awesome celebrating Chinese New Year with the members here in DaKeng. We were able to get to know them even more be able to bring the Spirit to their homes.
For Chinese New Year, I was expecting members to feed us crazy. Since that's what I have been hearing from every other missionaries. They say that on Chinese New Year, you gain a ton of weight. So was expecting to be super full, until I unbuckle my belt. But happily we were not fed crazy.
This week, our District came out with an activity for Chinese New Year. We made about 400-500 envelopes. A 100 for each area. And we would visit every members and less active members in the area and hand them the red envelopes. Miraculously, some less actives were willing to let us come and hand them the red envelopes. It's all about the red envelopes! Haha! We were able to get to know them and know their story in joining the church. It was great to see their smiles. I love the people here in Taiwan!
I want to share with you all this verse in Doctrine and Covenants 130:20-21. It says, "There us law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated. And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated."
Let us all try this week to be obedient to our covenants with Heavenly Father and the commandments he has given to us. It would be great if we all share our experiences on being obedient our covenants and the commandments of Heavenly Father.
It has been said by Joseph Smith. "When we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated."
