TZ 35 Christmas Day Call.

TZ 36 It's a Beautiful Day To Save Lives.

Hello again! It was super awesome talking with you guys last week over Skype! It felt awkward but it was nice seeing your faces! 

Elder Gessler is leaving Dakeng this week. He's going to Tainan Yongkang 1st ward. It was a blast working with him. 

So this transfer I'll be training a new companion. I don't know my trainee yet because he's still visa waiting (the same thing happened to me !) So, my companion for now is Elder Nelson. 

I'd like to share my testimony that through Joseph Smith, he restored Jesus' Christ church here on earth because we have the Priesthood and the Book of Mormon. Being These two evidences has help me drawn nearer to Heavenly Father. It has strengthened my relationship with him. I'm so grateful for these two things.

I invite everyone to continue studying the Book of Mormon!

TZ 34 That You May Chase Darkness From Among You.

Hello everyone! I'd never thought that I would be wearing a sweater here in Taiwan! .

The work here in 大坑 is doing well! We've found some new friends and even gave some of them a baptismal goal. 

We've been focusing on just teaching the Saviors earthly minister and his Atonement and wow! It's super easy and straight to the point. We feel edified and sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

In my personal study, I came across with reading some scriptures about the Priesthood. In Doctrine and Covenants chapter 107 it talks about the spiritual blessings of holding the higher priesthood.

After pondering these scripture verses, it has strengthen my testimony that Heavenly Father still communicates with us. And that Joseph Smith did restore this church because of the blessings of having the priesthood. 

I believe that visions are still happening in this world. And if we center our minds to the pure and clean things of this world, we will be able to commune with the general assembly and the church of the Firstborn.

Let us continue to set goals that will purify and cleanse our hearts so eventually we will be able to return to the kingdom of God. Let us chase darkness from among us! Have a good week! I love you! 

TZ 33 Efforts and Courage Are Not Enough Without Purpose and Direction.

Good Morning! Wow another week has passed! Time is flying!!  Good thing I'm the pilot .

It's been another great week here in Taiwan. Elder Homer of the Seventy visited us last Thursday. He gave some wonderful insights about being dedicated to the work. 

We were able to see some miracles with some of the people we are teaching. Also that there are so many people who are ready to hear the gospel. We just have to have faith and find them. 

I want to share my testimony that when we humble ourselves, and pray to Heavenly Father with a sincere heart, He is willing to hear and answer our prayers. Treasure your prayers. For they will be the most sweetest things in our lives.

TZ 32 It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas.

我傳教快一年了！太誇張。

It's December! Wow time flies so fast! I'm almost on my 1 year mark. That's scary. While thinking of it, I wanted to make the most out of my mission. I just want to go hard to do my best for the Lord. 

One funny thing is that most people we talk to on the streets has either seen us or talked to us already. That's what happen when you bike on the same road maybe 8 hours a day for two months. 😂

So a person we're teaching shared to us this wonderful scripture that she liked. It's in  2 Nephi 4:17-35. Beautiful scripture. 

It's Christmas season and I invite all to read scriptures of Jesus Christ himself serving. And study how he served the people. You too can serve others by following his example. We will all learn something big even if we just do a very simple act of service. Let us light the world by following Jesus Christ's example. I pray that you have a good week! Bless you all! 

TZ 31 Hold Fast to What You Already Know and Stand Strong Until Additional Knowledge Comes.

Nov. 26, 2018

Hello again! 

It's been a long week! Because it was elections, we did not have a lot of lessons. People did not want to meet with us haha! But now that's over, hopefully we meet with new friends this week. 

How was your prayers and scripture study? Hopefully you were enlightened by the Holy Ghost. 

I invite everyone to study Alma 36. It's about Alma testifying his conversion. After reading, you might want to ponder also the Atonement of Christ. Study the Atonement! The book of Mormon gives is a powerful book that helps us understand it. 

Hopefully you all had a wonderful week. Keep praying and reading with sincerity. I promise through these small things, we will receive peace and happiness. I love you all! 

TZ 30 Through Small and Simple Things.

Nov. 19 2018, 10:15 am

This week is the start of my 7th transfer! How crazy is that. I'm almost on my one year mark. It's pretty scary. Sorry also for not sending an email again last week.

Elder Clayton from the 70 and his wife visited Taiwan last week. Both shared wonderful insights about small and simple things. Mostly about mission rules. Their son was able to come with them too. Their son served here in Taizhong 20 years ago. Pretty cool to hear his testimony. 

I know that by small and simple things, we gain greater blessings. So maybe try to do or even find promised blessings that we're missing out on the scriptures. And try to do them. I'm pretty sure it will really bless our lives. 

Last week was pretty awesome. We found new people to teach! That's always cool. And we're staying in 大坑. I love this place.
