Sorry to hear you're all sick... again.. It seems like you guys get sick almost every week hahaha... Wow, a couple more week and I'll be getting sick with you.
On Monday, Scott came down with Elder Fuller and we went for a hike. Afterwards we went and ate hot pot at Shabu Shabu. We eat at Shabu Shabu almost every P-Day. It's so good, but it's killing us. We had a great time with Scott. We are able to go for a little hike and talk and catch up. Elder Fuller was there, too, and it was a good time of course.. He only openly peed in public once this time. haha
The work here in YuanLin has kind of slowed down a little bit and I don't really have a whole lot to write about his week. Most of our investigators are getting pretty flaky, which includes Mr. Liu. Lately, Mr. Liu has met with us, and we had our bishop help us teach. During the lesson, it seemed like everything went really well, and we helped him resolve some concerns about tithing and attending church. He told us he would change his breakfast shop's hours, so that he could come and attend church on Sunday. He was super willing and said he would do everything he could to get to church. After the lesson, we told him we would call him often and follow up with him. He was happy and smiley, and then he left and was on his way home... Then, this entire rest of the week he has not answered his phone, and we haven't been able to get into contact with him... He's such a strange investigator that I cannot figure out. I'm really worried that he feels like he can't do it, so he doesn't know how to tell us no, so his way of telling us no is not answering his phone.
This week since we've been having trouble finding investigators,we decided to go to one of our secondary areas. So we decided to go a different way, which is to take the train and then take our bikes on the train to our secondary area. Well, everything was okay, and we boarded the train with our bikes, and we waited to leave the train station in YuanLin.. Then we waited......and waited......and waited..... and waited.... And then 30 minutes had gone by, and it would have been faster to ride our bikes to the secondary area... So, we took the 10 minute train ride, and by the time we got there we basically had to go home. So, we just made the really long bike ride home, since we didn't want to risk sitting on the train for no reason for 30 minutes again. On the way home, we got some delicious tea, and then we were pretty tired when we got back...
Lately on the streets people have not been too friendly....
But, we came across a white man one night walking on the streets. Normally when I see white people in Taiwan I do not talk to them. Mostly because they are either really weird or really terrible to talk to, and ask you how many wives you have. But, my companion wanted to talk to him, so we did. He was actually from Canada, and he was a really nice guy - fun to talk to. But, he told us that his wife had recently cheated on him, and he was just complaining that he was super skinny, and told us he eats one meal a day, because of the ulcers in his stomach. We talked with him about a bunch of stuff and then told him about how much God loves him. I didn't really say a whole lot to him. It was mostly my companion. Then, we invited him to hear the message, and he told us that he has come across missionaries in Taiwan, but hasn't really had time. Then he told us that he would be willing to meet with us, and he would give us a call. He never did.. Oh well.
The ward has asked us to dedicate two hours every day trying to visit every single member in the ward. I guess we'll see if that helps.
That's about it for the week.
I'm doing really well and I love you all so very much!
