This week I learned something about Taiwan. There are very few days I would consider the weather comfortable. The cold weather quickly left last week, and it was replaced by stuffy, hot weather. We went from using heaters in our house to 3 short days later turning on the air conditioner in our room. The craziest part is that the weather never cools down. It seems just as hot at 9 o clock at night than it does at 3 o clock in the afternoon. It's not so bad, but I also wouldn't consider it comfortable.
The days are getting easier and easier to survive in Taiwan. I am getting more and more used to the food here and the Chinese is getting easier and easier. This week at church I could follow along in class and Sacrament meeting. They even asked me a question in Gospel Principles and I was able to answer! It was great.
This last week we had a few cool things. We had a nice rest day for PDAY on Friday, because we probably won't get a day to just rest a little until next Monday, because this week we have a temple trip to Taipei instead of PDAY. We also had a unique experience where we met a guy on the street, invited him to church, and he actually showed up! It was great! He seems like a really nice guy, but he has no time to meet with us. He said he wanted to keep coming to church, and he even borrowed a gospel principles book, because he wanted to "study" it. Things like that don't happen all the time in Taiwan.
We also had an investigator we only met once take us out to dinner this week. He felt really bad because he didn't come to church on Sunday, so he took us to get hotpots on Wednesday before English Class. He is really cool and is really interested in what missionaries do.
Other than that, things just keep rolling on. Taiwan is great, the ward here is really great, and the language is getting easier. Sorry I don't have time to email more, we only have an hour to email this week because of the temple trip! Thanks for all the emails!
Love,
Elder Quist
