Hey everybody in the western hemisphere! Hope all is well, and that you have smiled at least 7 times today! If not, start. This week was the best week ever! Mostly because it was just super busy and full of lessons! Which is a great thing but makes it feel like I didn't even sleep just non-stop going. But I like it that way.

This week my companion went to the temple with his generation to the temple. So I got assigned to another companionship for the night. And guess who I got to go with? Elder Jensen who came out with me!!!! Holy moly we were SO stoked! It was a really fun night, we got to attend a baptismal service for a 8 year old and then just did some missionary work while catching up on the past 6 months, oh so good! :)

Last
week we had a pretty fun adventure. We had a member who wanted to come
and take us out to do something but we weren't sure exactly what we
would be doing. Also, last week it was pouring rain like cats and dogs
and so it was pretty cold! But we decided to go up to PingXi and 放天燈
(put lantern's in sky? I don't really know how to translate that sorry)
So even though it was raining we wrote our hopes and dreams on it and
put it up in the air. To be honest I think that the rain made it a
little more fun. And surprisingly enough there was a lot of people up
there doing it. Then we went on a little hike, so wet and so awesome.
Then we went to a 老街 (alley with lot's of 東西) and we ate stinky tofu...
Yeah it stunk pretty bad 沒錯 but the taste wasn't that bad hahaha. It was
a fun experience.

The best part of this week
was: Y and X both passed their interviews!! So that means that this
next week we will have 2 baptisms! We are so stoked! And luckily God
wants to work in our favor, so we are having it on Friday
which is a national holiday here in Taiwan so that means EVERYONE is
off work and can come to see and support them. We are really looking
forward to it. They are both super duper awesome.
Keep them in your
prayers that everything goes really smoothly.
This
week since the Because He Lives video came out we have been really
pushing it in our contacting and teaching. It has been so neat to be
able to explain to people that because Jesus Christ died for us we too
can conquer death! The more that I learn about it the more grateful I am
for our Savior. I hope that everyone goes and follows the prophets
invitation by "liking" the video and sharing it to as many people as
possible. The Church is true! And Jesus Christ lives, what joy this
sweet sentence gives!
I love you all, have a
great week, and I hope we can all grow closer to Christ as we go through
this amazing Easter week! I am pretty excited! Sending as much love
from Asia as possible!
Elder Roe
