In terms of missionary work though it has been quite a good week! I had the chance to exchange with a good guy named Elder Ehinger (read Ae-hanger) Which was truly a joy! i went down in to their area 三峽 sanxia, where we spent a joyous 24 hours roaming the streets taking investigators to member held gospel classes, and setting people up, as well as helping build up the english class, which is one of the most successful ways of finding people here in taiwan because everyone likes it, and many need it! We also had an amazing lesson with their best investigator who is struggling on faith and confidence. But the lesson went really well really taught by the spirit with her, and helped her truly prepare for baptism. We invited her to start repenting everyday and she told us she has already been doing that! hahahaha we didn't know what to say after that aside from laugh and compliment her work! He is a good missionary it was a pleasure to be with him!
Our week had some good rain we were on the outskirts of a Typhoon so we had rain on and off all week. And we have been being very thorough about who we want to meet with and not, So we have been giving the area a make-over as well. We have been identifying who is prepared and who is not. So as these things happen we have dropped several names from our board, that were not ready, and are making room for God to fill our teaching pool again. I have seen that as a pattern, Heavenly Father will wait for you to make room for his work and his needs before he finally gives you what you want. So It has been fun across my mission when i am willing to align myself with His will, miracles roll:) I await His guiding hand.
I have learned something about myself, I don't like people not foloowing through on their word. Christ has told us "let thy communication be pure" and :"let no corrupt communication proceed forth out of thy mouth" We had several people this week decide to tell us something and do another, which is common in the field, But everytime it reminds me, If you cannot claim your language and your desires in front of someone, you need to change, your goals and desires are the things that you should be adament on. Just as the desires and goals of the saints should be in line with God, you need to stand up for what you want and work for. I encourage anyone who actually reads this to "man-up" and take your words and line them up with your desires and goals, and to "let no corrupt communication proceed out of thy mouth" Live your promises and let your actions prove your words just as the Lord does with us. I can promise you that God will bless you with all that you need to accomplish your righteous goals, and you will be much happier and excited to deal with anything that you must face. God prospers the righteous.
