Wang shi hao




The best part of this week was Wang Shi Hao. He's a 19 year old kid who has been meeting with the missionaries for four years now. He's super shy and doesnt say much. He also has spiritual experiences in the form of dreams, but he doesn't really telk the missionaries about those. He mostly just tells his friend in the ward Rui Cong. I knew he has a testimony, but it's really hard to get him to talk. He has been waiting until he turns 20 to get baptized, but this last week he went and asked his father and he finally got approved. So this whole week has just been us thinking about him and trying to help him get ready to be baptized on Saturday. When he went in for the interview i honestly didnt know if he was going to make it through or not. Well... He DID!! The zone leader who interviewed him said he has a strong testimony so he passed. We are still going to have to work with him really hard to help him with church and scripture reading, but he got baptized on saturday!! Saturday was a big baptism day in our mission. Just in Taipei we got like 8 or 9 baptisms which is crazy for the mission!!

I was also able to go on exchanges with Elder Jorgenson which was awesome. He was trained by Elder Welch so we had a really good time talking about him. He was a really amazing companion for both of us and we really look up to him. We just went street finding and talked to so many people. We got a setup though so it was all worth it. 

This week's English class went really well! We played the game where one person stands in the middle of a circle of people and they have to say what they have never done before, and the people that have done that thing have to stand up and find another chair. The grandma's didn't really get it though because they stood up and said:" I have never eaten food before," and then everyone else got up and ran around. I don't think they understood it needs to be true haha, they had fun though! 

This week we have been getting ready for General Conference because we will see it a week later than everyone in America. We have told our investigators to think of questions they would like answered and then bring them to conference. I also heard about the Apostle that was called from Hong Kong. He actually served his mission in Taiwan too!! His chinese name is not "Gong by the way haha. It's Jiang. So my family will all say his name right when I get home haha. 

Last p day we went on a hike so I can send some pictures. Love you all!
