This week was another exhausting but great week. We had a lot of great experiences! Like last Tuesday we were able to go back to the hospital to visit our investigators there. However, we were having a problem with teaching him. The problem was we would go and teach him in his hospital bed, but it was really hard for him to interact with us in the lessons, because it is very painful for him to speak. We would teach him, but there was no way for him to interact in the lessons. Me and Elder Fox talked about it, and Elder Fox said he thought we should focus our lesson on his wife instead of him. So next lesson we focused on his wife, and it was a miracle! Originally we thought that she wasn't interested at all, and had absolutely no faith, but as we directed the lesson on her, and asked her questions, we realized that she had being reading the Book of Mormon and praying every night, and she also said that she had a little bit of faith, and she was really interested in increasing her faith. It really helped me see that we don't know who is ready for the gospel. Our job is to follow the Spirit and to invite others to come unto Christ.
This last week we also had Mother's day and my birthday! We had church and we had three investigators come, which was a great birthday gift. Then after church we had a feast for mother's day at the church. The men in the church were responsible for the food, so we had some pizzas and ice cream. It was nice to have some American food on my birthday!
Then later that night we had dinner at a member's house, the Cai family. Sister Cai fed us so much great food and played some sort of Taiwanese instrument for us. Then we had cake that Elder Fox bought. It was a really great birthday and also a great mother's day! We also got to Skype our families this morning! All in all it was one of the best weeks of my mission! I can't believe I have been out for 7 months! Time flies!
Love,
Elder Quist
