Transfer 7 - Week 3

Hello good people! Don't know if any of you heard but there was an earthquake in Taiwan a few days ago! It was actually pretty awesome! And then it was scary as it got bigger but then it stopped so it was awesome again haha. At the time we were teaching someone at their house on the fifth floor so when the earthquake came, the whole building was swaying a little bit and it was just like in the movie, where all the little things on the shelves are shaking around you know? The first second it was just a tiny little shake, hardly noticeable, but then after a couple seconds it got to be pretty powerful and then for a second in my head, I was like,"See ya Elder Leo I'm outta here!" Haha but luckily it only lasted a few seconds.

The other night we were out contacting on the street and we ran into some guy at a stoplight so we get him to pullover on his scooter and start talking to him and he says he's interested about religion and why we're different from other Christians and stuff so we tell him we don't have much time right now because we have an appointment, but come to church on Sunday and you can learn more. So he says ok and then yesterday he came! A miracle! He said he really liked church and whenever I looked over at him he'd be attentively paying attention and he also said he wants to come back next week too! It was very cool to follow the promptings of the Spirit while we were contacting and talk to him by getting him to pullover. 

We have another investigator, Lin Jian Hong, or Henry, who really wants to get baptized, but because he is going to dangbing(Taiwanese army, Every young man has to serve for a certain period of time) he won't get weekends off until a few weeks go by so his baptism will most likely be postponed until he can come to church regularly. I hit my year mark this week and it's pretty crazy! Also my nephew is getting surgery so pray for him! Love you Sammy! 

Love,

Elder Hagedorn
