This day only comes once every 4 years, so you better live
it up! We are having a leap day party today during p-day. We are having
pizza and board games and everything. I can't believe the last leap day
I was a sophomore... that was 4 years ago?! Crazy...
This last
week was a great week here in Zhang Hua. We got some new investigators
and met with some old investigators. However, most of our time here is spent
finding. The area right now is not full of a lot progressing
investigators, it is more like a lot of potential. So we are just trying
to get some new people who are sincerely interested in hearing the
gospel. So if you were wondering what to pray for, you can
pray that we are able to find some new sincere investigators.
I
am having a great time with Elder Hampton. He reminds me a lot of
myself when I first started as a missionary. I didn't realize how lucky I
was to first start in America. It was a huge blessing to get to first
get used to life as a missionary in Washington and then get used to the Chinese
language and the Taiwanese culture once I arrived in Taiwan. We, missionaries that come to Asia, must
be the ones who have to learn patience and humility! This
mission experience has been a great teacher to me.
A great experience I have to relate this week happened with an investigator I talked about last
week. His name is Will and he was brought to church by a member last
week. Since he was a member referral, we were eager to meet him!
However, when we called him he wasn't answering his phone. I really
wanted to get in contact with him, so I prayed and asked God if he would
let us come across him on the street. I prayed on Tuesday night that we
could come across him on Wednesday, but we went the whole day without
seeing him. And then on Thursday I had stopped praying, and had even
forgotten about it. However, as we were leaving the place we ate for
lunch, Will was standing right next to our bikes! We talked to him and
set up a time to meet with him the next day! It was a great lesson that
the Lord has His own time and also that the Lord is involved in
missionary work. Although sometimes we are not perfect missionaries, He won't let us fail.
I don't have much else to write... I love you guys... Pray for the sincere investigators.
Elder Quist
