Another week has flown by here in Taiwan. Here are some highlights:
Last Monday after P-Day finished we were out finding and searching for less active Priesthood holders but weren't really seeing much success. It was getting close to the time we should head back home and we passed a man who was sitting down by a Family Mart. Elder Zhou had a feeling to go back and start talking to this man, so we did, and he turned out to be pretty good! He was really willing to talk about God and learn how to pray so that he can begin to feel God's existence and love for him. I hope we will be able to meet with him again soon.
Our biggest miracle though right now is our one investigator Brother Wang. He has been continuing to meet with us twice a week. He is a very simple man, but he really understands what we teach him and he loves it. He smiled so big when we taught him about the Plan of Salvation this past week. When I saw him smiling, I couldn't help but have a huge smile myself. It is so joyful to meet with him and see him build his faith in Christ and in Heavenly Father. He also came to church for the first time this Sunday despite having to work from about 6-12 in the morning. That's his only challenge right now is getting work changed so that he can come every week, but he has a desire to come and we have faith the Lord will help him. I know he will.
Last sweet experience of the week was going on exchanges with my MTC companion Elder Lackey. He moved into our zone at the beginning of this transfer, which I was super excited for because the whole time we have been on the mission we have never served near each other. We were able to discuss a lot about how the past year and a half has gone. It was fun. We were able to see that we both have really grown a ton.
I'm excited to see what miracles will happen next week.
Hope everyone has a great week.
Love,
Elder Bastian
