First off it's not a real tsunami so
don't panic. We will talk more about that later! :) This week was so
nuts! Ahhh! For starters one of the more funny things that happened was
last Monday we had a lesson with one of our investigators who has
actually completed the missionary lessons, but is still struggling with
the commitment of coming to church. We were there waiting for him with
the member, then he comes in and sits down and puts his drink on the
table. And that drink happened to be a nice ol' cup a joe. I just kept
looking down and then up and then back down again. What the heck man! I
mean it's one thing to go and drink it on your own time
but right in front of me? Come on! haha.Anyway that lesson was just awkward
and off the whole time. But we met with him again yesterday, went over
the baptismal questions and talked about the Word of Wisdom and cleared
up some confusion so that was good! Then he set a date to be baptized in
2 weeks! Super excited and ready to see him get there! :)

This
week we did what is called a "tsunami." This is where basically all of
the missionaries in your zone go to one area and just find all day long. The goal is to try to help that area find some new investigators. It's really fun
we all meet up, make a plan and set goals and then divide and conquer.
The area actually really proved to be hard though but made for some
really good stories! (We also go on exchanges for learning experiences)

So I was with Elder B and we contacted this kid outside just taking a
smoke. He didn't see to be super duper interested but told us that all
of his friends in the restaurant would have interest and we should go
talk to them. I knew he was obviously not really telling the truth, but
Elder Bake being the brave guy he is was like "ok!" So we parked our
bikes and walked in. Okay, this was seriously one of the most awkward
situations I have ever been in, in my entire life! They were the only
ones in there so we walked to their table and it just fell dead silent.
Especially since they were the only ones in there, so quiet. I didn't
even know what to say. "Um Hi, I'm Elder Luo and I'm a missionary,
would you like to be baptized?" Yeah right! But I was very impressed
Elder Bake did a good job and told them why we were in Taiwan and what
we do here. They didn't want to talk at all so we just gave them English
tracts and got outta there! The best part is though that the kid who
took us in there just ditched them and walked out when we started
talking to them. So that was awkward for everyone.
Then
at the end of the evening we were just wrapping up, so we were on foot
just trying to talk to anyone. I told Elder B we should go over to
this little bridge that goes over the road and just see if we get
anything. We did and then I start walking up the stairs but Elder B
calls me to come back. I go back and then he is just in shock! I look
down to see what he is staring at. And in the dirt is a Tract and a Book
of Mormon! Some guy got contacted but apparently was too bu hao yise
to tell us he didn't want it. We were so mad, we got the book and
cleaned it all up. When we told the other missionaries about it they
were all trying to figure out who it was haha. Oh well, if they don't
want it that's okay we are only here to invite right?

One
other miracle is an RC I have met with forever finally came to church!
Every week he commits to come but every week he doesn't show. This last
week he came and had a pretty good experience! So that was so awesome to
see him there!
This following week is CHINESE
NEW YEAR!!!! So everyone Guo Nian Kuaile! Hope that this week is super
awesome for ya'll cause it will be for me ;) I love you all and hope
that you guys have a great week full of miracles! I'm praying for you
always!
