let the games begin

man this week has been pretty good!!! So we have seen a ton of miracles! When Elder Vincent and I started out, we wanted to find some prepared people. We made a goal to find one person everyday no matter what. Just one person that was willing to learn the message of the restoration of the gospel. And it has provided us many friends and people to teach. We have been blessed greatly by the hand of the Lord. Which has been truly fun! The members are really warming up and we are having so much fun with them!

We have a really fun apartment and district too! Our whole district has been up and going this transfer putting down the work. And loving everything they are doing! It has been fun to see! I have seen a ton of them grow so much! We have 5 missionaries still well below their year mark but they have been so impressive! It has been so awesome to see! I have loved being around them!

Something I have not enjoyed, I have started to finish up college applications. Which it is hard to do. I don't know anything anymore! I have been doing a few essays and I realized, man i need to school up again! It is pretty funny actually. Also my spelling ever since learning Chinese has become the same level as a first grader. It is pretty embarrassing.

pretty solid week.

In the Beginning 

Alright this week was pretty much straight fire! We ran into to some really fun things and some really not so fun things, but pretty much Elder Vincent and I had a ton of fun proselyting this week! So we started by having a great P-day we ate a ton of food, messed around played some sports and stuff.

We met some super cool people and have set some super good goals to help us be improving the area. Get it to somewhere that every missionary wants. We have seen some super cool miracles as we have just been aiming for the goals we prayerfully set. Heavenly Father has been backing us up and helping us hit them. We met some really fun people Like the addidas store owner that thinks we are super rough working all the time and biking around. So he said if we ever need anything he will give us better sales! That was kinda super nice. My shoes have eben ruined with large whole in them for about 3 months now... hahaha But then again i gotta get some that work pretty well.

I think i should tell all of you. You are all awesome. If you make it to this part of the email shout out to you for actually reading. I will be straight with anyone that makes it to reading this part. I have been out of things to say. Aside from I love my companion, i love my area, i love the people, and the members. I love my mission. I love my god. I love all things.

We started teaching a golden grandma! She is awesome we are gonna have to pass her off to other missionaries. but she is so fun! She is so cool! She started crying while she was given a chapel tour. And said she could feel the spirit with out us ever telling her the word. She literally just said holy spirit. I almost filled up the font right there.... hahahah just kidding.

Retired!!!!

I am now moved into 竹北 ZHUBEI!!!!!! It is so awesome!!! Iwill miss Elder Walters and the 信安 ward and the english ward. But my new companion is awesome his name is Elder Vincent from California!!! He is so cool! so he played tennis competitively for BYU and he is one of the best young missionaries i have seen! He is really dedicated to having the time and the energy to succeed! It has been a good couple of days! So we have already visited one of the RC and trying to get the dad to be into now. And i met the other RC at church. We have an awesome ward with a lot of families! Which is amazing!!!

I moved into a really nice house. Iam in the Zhubei 3 ward. which is on the west coast of taiwan. Ican see the ocean from my house. Ilive in a beautiful building and a great location. Really close to the train station, and the chapel. We have a massive and gorgeous chapel here. Which is where i am emailing you from today!!!

Anyway i am back out of Taibei to have the last two transfers in somewhere a little less city. But to be honest it is still a really big city here its just a little more spread out with a few less people walking around. Its really nice actually nice and quiet!! We have been back on our bikes quite a bit more than i was in my last area. So it is nice to be out and going again!

Last part is i just want to say that prayer is powerful. Ihave been improving my prayers little by little. And really been going at it with real intent! And it feels so good! We have been really trying to always rely on the spirit and seek its guidance! We have really growing into companions quickly! We  have been working really hard! ANd it is fun! We are seeing some really good success come out of it!

I love all of you!!!
Elder Conover

Great Week

Well this week has been super good! I have had a super fun time. I will tell you this i am getting very tired the last couple of days, however we had a ton of miracles this week. After some of all the crazy activities that our ward and the mission were holding to celebrate christmas We finally got to focus alot more on our area.AND after all was done we saw some cool miracles come from the activites we ended up with a ton of people to teach this week. Which was way fun!

We have been working on 2 people in particular that are really close. I have been working with them almost the entire time i have been in this area. And they both could literally be baptized tomorrow. But they have ran into some concerns and challenges along the way. But they are doing great. One is just having a hard time believing in himself, but the other one is having a hard time believing that Christ truly has atoned for all sins and challenges. But they have grown so much in the last 4 or so months!!

This week i am looking forward to the coming days a ton of stuff is about to happen and i am going to have a ton of fun with it!!! and I think everyone else is going to love it too!!!!

I saw my old comps mom!!

NEW YEARS來了

What an insane thing! so first off! what it's 2018.... crazy! I'm not sure what to even think! it's literally insane! I don't know what to think! But to be honest we were talking with our good friends I have 3 elders nearby that are 6 weeks younger than I am, so we were in the MTC together and we just talked about how we all measure time in 6 week periods now because of the mission. so it's like we still have a week or so before we can set new goals and change things up hahaha strange! but cool!

Also this week was cool Josie (林冠媖) got baptized which is sweet! we found her near my first nights here! that's so awesome to see her change! she has really come to love the gospel. Someone brought a friend to church and she just started contacting them and teaching them about the book of mormon. But literally did it better than us missionaries!

also 101 is a very cool sight to see on new years.... it's pretty legit! But the coolest thing is we went over nearby and we made a "NEW YEARS resolution" booth and used the BOM as a way to help them meet their goals and see more success we saw a lot of cool miracles. The sisters in our ward literally stopped someone that took them to their house right then and they had a lesson with them! so cool!
