Train station from Taipei super crowded and there was a fire so no one could move!
Sorry it's been a few weeks since I've written you all last! But I'm back and ready to tell you all what's been going on!
Elder Fernandes got transferred to Taoyuan to become the zone leader over there. I'm really happy for him and he's with a cool companion. I miss him a lot though. Last P day we headed up to Taoyuan to see a few missionaries. The cool thing is that I was with my companion I have right now(Elder Merrill) and with my old companions Elder Hyde, Halverson, and Fernandes. So I had every one of my companions that are still on the mission with me there. It was cool to see them all again and hang out a bit. I really love all of them. Elder Hyde is going home soon which is a bit sad but he's moving on to good things. All my other companions will be here for awhile.
Elder Merrill is a really cool guy. He's from California and loves lots of sports. He's good with Soccer, skateboarding, and skin boarding mostly. He's half Korean and he used to live in Korea so he understands it all and still speaks pretty well. He just got out of training and came down to Miaoli with me. Really good missionary who likes working with the members and is really good at connecting with the people out here.
Things are going well out here. We aren't running into the cave man anymore which is a bit sad haha. Because school is starting soon, most of our friends are leaving and moving to different areas. It's a bittersweet thing though because during the school year we have a college open in our area and it's a good place to find people interested in learning about God. Basically from the time I got to Miaoli all till now it's been summer so there haven't been any students. We're excited about that.
We had a miracle happen right before Elder Fernandes left the area. A man walked up to us saying that he had learned from the missionaries in Miaoli before and he couldn't keep the Word of Wisdom so he couldn't get baptized. After that he moved to China and found a girl and got married to her. Now they are both learning from us cause he came back. It's a bit hard to teach her because she has had no concept of God her entire life so it's really different. She has faith though and loves her husband. We are working really hard with them and hope to help both of them a lot before they go back to China next month. If you all could pray for them I would really appreciate it. The Lord is now blessing us with all the hard work that's been put in and I can't wait to see this hard work pay off. I love you all!
I'll send some pictures and talk about them a bit. Give you guys some more information next week!
