Week 91

MIRACLES FROM YOUR PRAYERS

This week we found more people who are willing to actually come and learn more about the church! We saw so many miracles this last week!

We continued to work with the Wang family (the family I told you about last week). We went back to their house this last week and met with the two sons (because the mother was busy during that time). We taught the sons the first lesson and they were really receptive to the message we were sharing. We invited them to be baptized and they accepted! However, yesterday they were unable to come to church because of an activity they had to attend. We are going to visit them again this week and I really hope we can help them start progressing faster!

Then we had another miracle where we visited the Chen family again (the family of the investigator we have been meeting with lately). We also met with them and shared the first lesson. The spirit that filled their home when we were with them was so strong! We invited them to sit down and pray about it as a family. They said they would that night. I have never been able to work with families in my mission, but I am so grateful now for these opportunities to work with these great families.

We met some cool new people this last week, too. We met a lady named Lilian who came to church yesterday and also a man who is interested in trying new religions. 

Yesterday, I met a man who was sitting at the park with his daughter. He told me that lately he has not been going to work because of some things that he is trying to figure out in his life. He has been looking to religion to an answer to some of the questions in his heart. I expressed to him that I could help him better understand the problems he is facing and the answers he could find and he immediately set up a time to meet with us.

Right after talking to him, I walked up and came across a whole pack of Jehovah's Witnesses. I don't know if this is their own rule, or a law in Taiwan, but they will never contact people themselves, they have to wait for people to come to them. So, I got too close to them and next thing I knew I was surrounded. There were probably about 20 of them. They started to ask me questions about missionaries. I was super afraid they were going to start bashing me (because the Jehovah's Witnesses here LOVE to bible bash). So, I slowly backed up while trying to give them a good testimony about our church. It was a pretty crazy experience.

This next week we have more investigators set up and more miracles waiting to happen. I can't wait for the great things coming our way!

Love you all,
