Hello Everyone!
Another week has flown by here in Tucheng. The transfers ends this Friday and I will probably be getting a new companion as Elder Forbes has already served here for 4 transfers which is usually how long a Zone Leader is in one area. It will be sad to see him go! We have seen so many cool miracles together!
Well this past weekend was General Conference, I hope that all of you had the opportunity to watch it. I'm sure it was just amazing! Sadly, we have to wait till this next weekend to watch it here because they need to first translate everything. So, I am anxiously waiting to here from the Prophet, Apostles, and other General Authorities!
Last week went pretty great! We were able to meet with more of the people we have recently contacted, so there has been some great new people coming in to investigate the church. One of the cool miracles happened on Tuesday. We had scheduled to meet with a man named Mr. Yang. This was his second time meeting with us and as we finished up our other lesson and walked out to meet Mr. Yang we say 3 people instead of 1... He brought his wife and child! We were so excited to be able to start teaching a family, they seem really great too. He had let his wife know that he would be coming to our church to learn more and she asked if she could come with him! We were able to sit down with them and introduce ourselves and our purpose as missionaries and then teach them a few basic principle of the gospel. We hope to be able to meet with them again this week and then see them at church on sunday!
Another great part of the week was last night. We saw so many miracles! We had originally planned to head up to Taipei with a recent convert to watch a missionary program that the mission puts on every first week of the month, but our recent convert last minute wasnt able to come. So as we left the subway station we went outside to our bike and pray to know where the Lord would want us to go this evening. After praying my companion and I felt that we should bike over to the neighboring city (Shu Lin) which is about 20 minutes away. Last night, almost every person that we talked to stopped and was willing to listen us and 3 people set up to meet with us right on the spot! It was awesome! The best part is that 2 of the people that set up said they would also bring their families when they come! So my companion and I are really excited for the next week and we have a lot of new people that we should be meeting with.
On Wednesday we also had the opportunity to head over to Taipei for our Mission Leadership Council, where all the zone leaders, the assistants, and the mission president meet and discuss a vision, goals, and plans for the next months work here in Taiwan for the mission. It was a really special experience as we all prayed and humbly saught the Lord's direction in this meeting. We were all able to see the spirit lead this meeting and in the end were able to come up with some great plans.
Well it should be an exciting next week! I hope that everyone back at home has a great time! This about wraps it up for me.
I love you all!
Elder Bastian
