Transfer 11 - Week 3

Hey everyone sorry I forgot to say last week that I would be having Temple Day! So this morning we went to Taipei to go to the temple and had to wake up at 5:30AM 
to get there on time... Daxi is a little farther away. This last week was really good! We were contacting the other night in some back streets and ran into a really cool college kid! We started talking to him about the Bible and the Book of Mormon and our doctrine because he's actually Presbyterian and was curious as to what our church does differently, etc. We got talking more and he asked what our churches stance was on homosexuality somewhat out of the blue and that got me a little suspicious of his... sexual tendencies. A little further on in the conversation we were chatting about music and he told us how much he loves Mariah Carey. That pretty much confirmed it for me that he's gay but he's a really cool guy and he's definitely going to "stick". We also ran into some random white guys (very rare in Daxi) and they were genuinely interested in what we were doing so we started talking to them through their car window about our church and they were flabbergasted, particularly towards the don't drink coffee, tea and not have sexual relationships before marriage parts but they said we were pretty cool as well as crazy for following it and coming out to Taiwan to be a missionary. We happened to have an English Book of Mormon on us to we gave it to them and they were actually excitedly joking around that they would read a few chapters as a bedtime story. They actually live in Taoyuan but it was pretty cool to finally teach someone in English! I don't have much time to email because our English class literally starts in thirty minutes! 

Love you all! Happy Easter! 



One of my old investigators, Dess! She finally went back to the Philippines after 3 years of working in Taiwan! She's going back and getting baptized!
