TZ 61 Bus Experience !

Hello Everyone!

I'm back to Taizhong! First few days were pretty weird. I wasn't used to being at office. It was pretty boring ha ha but now we're finally out and doing the work. So much better ha ha 

Our area is pretty small but miraculously we've found quite a ton of people living in our area. They're all wonderful people. 

The ward doesn't really have a lot of members but the members are very awesome! A lot of them shared their testimonies and it was very spiritual. I love them! 

So last Monday, I decided to go up to Taizhong with a member by bus. So we met up at the bus station then headed our way. He shared a ton of his experiences since he joined the church. Then shared to me that he asked a few members and a few returned missionaries a question. This is the question 「When do you think you feel close to Heavenly Father?」The responses were pretty similar he said. 「When we read the scriptures」He then shared his opinion. He thinks that we need to feel close to Him every-time. And I think this is a must too.

So I took this question to personal study. I thought of ways that I can be close to Heavenly Father every-time. Prayer was the biggest thought that I had. So I tried praying every single second, minute and hour. And I testify that through sincere prayer every second we can draw close to him. The past few days I've felt very close to him. Temptation were easy to conquer. I felt that He really loves us!

I invite everyone to try this out! It's the best thing ever! I love you all! ️

TZ 60 Back To Taichung ! 五權三支會

Hello again everyone!

So I'm now serving in the 五權三支會. It's at 台中 so yeah, I'm back to 台中。

My new companion is Elder Paxman. He's from Provo. 

So the missionaries in this area were previously Office Elders but there were two couple missionaries that came in. So they won't be needing us there anymore. 

Our area is pretty small and I'm pretty scared. Hopefully everything will be better in the few days to come. 

Last week with Elder Nelson was pretty fun. We had quite a lot of lessons and it was every fun. And we also cleaned our apartment the whole week. It was super annoying because we had to wait for the trash truck to come by. Other than that, that was about it for our week. Hopefully it will be fun this week. I love you all!

TZ57 - 58 Finding People !!!

July 15, 2019


Good day everyone!

It was a long week of finding people for us!

One of my trials in the Mission is finding people to teach. We're going out everyday and doing our best talking to everyone but at the end we didn't really get a lot. 

But the process of it is fun. I love sharing what I know to be true. I love sharing to people who Jesus Christ is and how he can help us in our lives 

I've got 6 more months left and as I was preparing to partake the sacrament yesterday I felt super motivated to end my mission strong. 

We'll continue to our hopes and faith up. Go out and hit the roads inviting people to learn more about Jesus Christ. 

He's the best. Like literally you can learn any attributes from Him by reading and pondering in the Bible. 

I invite you all to pick one Christlike attribute from Preach My Gospel and start working on that attribute. As you do so, the spirit will abide in us and it's the most wonderful thing ever. I'm grateful to be able to feel the spirit constantly. I'm grateful to have this opportunity to serve a mission. It's the best! I love you all! ️

TZ 54 - 56 Hello !!!

July 1, 2019

Things has been hard. Mainly in the companionship. 

But things are getting alright. We're learning. 

Being in a tri companionship is pretty hard. People are even more scared to talk to us because there are three of us. 

This week was basically going out and finding people to teach. Sadly we found no one. I'm going crazy of this 6 hours of finding in our planners. So tiring. 

So basically I'm hitting a rough path right now but thankfully we got Prophets today. We are blessed with the gospel library app. The church has spent a lot of time and money into the app. (I'm having deja vu right now. I might have said these in previous emails haha) We can easily go to the app and read talks from the Prophets and apostles. You can also look at the topics section and usually the talks can help you improve and help you go through the challenges you are facing. 

Have a great week. I love you all ️

TZ 53 Tainan 53

Hello everyone!

I got a new companion! Named Elder Nelson. Coolest fact about him is he's got 14 siblings. Yes 14! 🤯

Last week went alright. We visited quite a lot of members. One of the biggest blessings as a missionary is being able to know a lot of people and their family background. So many cool backgrounds. 

Another cool thing is that I have 5 more transfers left! How time flies. At the same time, I'm scared haha 

We visited a friend who is a doctor and he's around his 70's. Such a wonderful experience to see him and his wife interested in the gospel and church. They accepted to even start praying everyday. I can't wait to see how they are this week. 

I was able to study the recent general conference talk about our prayers. I've finally experienced a prayer being answered but not the way I think I thought would happen. Heavenly Father knows better than we. And he knows how to bless us. Bless us even more. Sometimes we may not like the way but it blesses us a ton.

Have a read. It's pretty good

     That's about my week here in Tainan. I'm staying for another 

TZ 52 Tainan .

Good day everyone!

It's getting hotter and hotter here in Tainan. But it's alright. 

We've been getting 請'd by a lot of strangers lately. So we're getting blessed by them too. 

There's a person we've been teaching quite a while now. She was able to read a chapter in 1 Nephi 8. Then as we expounded together about that scripture, the room was filled with the spirit. There was a warm feeling in the heart. She enjoyed it. 

So as we expound scriptures and share our thoughts together, the spirit is bound to be there. And the best setting for the spirit to dwell in is at our homes. Try to turn distractions off for a moment and read and expound the scriptures with you the family. 

Miracles happen each day! I invite everyone to have a note in your phone specifically just for miracles. Record them every time you feel like a miracle has happened.

At the end of the day, you'll see a long list of small miracles. You can then give thanks to Heavenly Father during your nightly prayers. 

Have a great week!
