Hi everyone!
Ok so this week it got actually cold for the first time. The last few weeks it's been chilly in the evenings, but this week it was truly, legitimately cold. Actually, it was only in the 50s, but Taiwan is extremely humid, and it was raining, so it felt like it was getting close to absolute zero. Thankfully, our wonderful Relief Society President has given us two massive boxes of Swiss Miss, so we're all set for the winter. Life is good.
The most exciting news of the week: Our mission got smart phones! Those of you who know me know that I'm not the biggest fan of technology, so this is the first smart phone I've had, ever. Needless to say, it's an adjustment. It's also an amazing blessing. We've only had the phones for about 3 days, but we're already learning so many more ways to connect with investigators and ward members. I love how our church is constantly looking for new ways to improve and progress Heavenly Father's work. We don't just stick with what we've done before; we're always trying to make things better.
Ok buckle down, because the rest of this email is going to be Light the World pictures. It's been a jam-packed week!
Monday invited us to meet our neighbors. We introduced one of our members who lives near us, Tina, to our absolutely favorite neighbors, the Lin family. The Lin family is absolutely amazing. They live on a corner near our apartment and always wave at us when we leave in the morning. Sometimes they even give us food. They told us they know we probably miss our families, so they want to take care of us so we're not too homesick.
Wednesday we went to the community center again and taught all the old people the Chicken Dance and played Bingo with them. They all really love to dance! After the part of the activity that we led, we joined them in more dancing. Please enjoy the video at the bottom of the Elders
Sunday was jam-packed. The theme was sharing scriptures, so we invited a family in our ward to share their favorite scripture on Social media:
We also shared a lot of scriptures with our semi-investigator, Maybe Later. Maybe Later is a former investigator from around June. He's not ready to start taking the lessons again, but he's been reading the scriptures and praying almost every day since June, so he likes to meet every now and then to discuss what he's been reading and ask questions. Our friend Jenalyn helped answer his questions. This made for a very interesting lesson, as Jenalyn doesn't speak Chinese, Sister Wu doesn't speak English, Maybe Later only kind of speaks English, and I only kind of speak Chinese. The Spirit was definitely there in the meeting though, because we miraculously managed to all understand each other. The gift of tongues is real!
I could keep going, but I think that's enough for this week. Hope you all have a wonderful week this week! Go Light the World!
Love,
Sister Hull
