Lots Of Teaching!

Well I actually don't really remember a whole lot that happened this week so it might be a shorter email haha. We've really been trying to pick it up with the number of lessons we teach each week. We have a lot of investigators who have potential and I'm super excited to see how things turn out. Everyday we've been basically tracting and teaching, tracting and teaching. Things are going well though and we are finding success. 
 
  D... is still looking super strong for baptism on the 31st and I don't see of anything stopping her. She wants to be baptized so badly. Unfortunately, P... is having some trouble. He is super nice though and has committed to live all of the commandments we've taught him, but he just doesn't want to take the next step. He really needs the gospel though. He always says how he feels unsatisfied with his life and wonders why there is so much confusion, why life has so many trials. I know that the gospel would bless his life. I hope that as he lives the things we've taught him he'll come to recognize the truth of what we teach him.
 
  L... is also looking pretty good for the 31st. He was in China all last week so we couldn't meet with him to talk about his baptism goal. I hope that we can help him meet that goal. He has such a great family!
 
  L... Y... H... is slowly progressing towards his goal on the 7th of February. He needs to come to church the next three Sundays to hit the goal so it's still possible to make it. He's a really cool guy and they have a great family, so I'm excited to help unify their family through the gospel.
 
  One other thing of importance. I got my first haircut in Taiwan! It was as everyone told me. They don't know how to cut American styles....At least hair always grows back...
 
  Well that's about it for this week. Nothing too exciting. That's sweet that you got all those snow days! Although that makes it a little difficult to prepare for your exams Alexa. Good luck with them! Also, I will be praying for you Grandpa.  I hope you recover fast from your surgery.  I hope it's not too cold for you in Ohio! Have a great week! I love you all!
Love,
Andrew

Enjoying The Work!

Wow Eric! That's too bad that you're home already! Why don't you extend for a little bit and help us out here in Taiwan haha. It was lots of fun to read about your trip in Japan and all of the fun. I'm glad that you got to experience some of the fun heat that we love so much. Was it hot for you Eric? Or was it just about the usual haha. I was happy to hear that Eric got home just in time to help you finish up cleaning out the other garage. Wow lucky you Eric! Thank goodness it'll be long finished by the time I come home!   Things are going well for me down in Gaoxiong. This week was honestly a little rough. We thought that it was originally going to be an awesome week, because we had set up so many new people to meet with. But unfortunately most of them didn't show up like they said:-( That is always a little upsetting because we know what they are missing out on, but we just have to hope that somewhere later on down the road that they will listen to o

Slight Scare...

Hello! Hey I won't have tons of time to email, but I just wanted to sent a quick email to let you all know that I'm still alive. If I went a week without sending you an email you might be a little worried haha. In a minute I'm going to be going to the hospital with my companion for a check up. We had quite an eventful day! We were doing studies and he all of the sudden started complaining about being dizzy and not able to breathe. He said he was gasping for breath but couldn't get anything! All of the sudden he just basically passed out. I freaked out and didn't know what to do. I called an ambulance and carried him downstairs to take him to the hospital. They quickly got him and took him there. He is all good now though so don't worry.  It might have come on because of us always riding around in the sun and running in the mornings. He is as fine as ever now so don't worry too much about him. We are just going to go to the hospital to do a check up and see i

My Final Email Home!

Image
Dear Family and Friends,   Well here it is, the final week of my mission. My last week in such a beautiful country that I have called home for the past 2 years of my life. I don't really know how to express all of my feelings and thoughts in this email, I don't think that is possible to do so. All I can say is that I love my mission. I love Taiwan. I love the message that I teach here. I wouldn't have traded this time away for anything! The opportunities of learning and growth that I've had during this time are impossible to get in any other way. And I can't imagine what it would've been like had I not come and experienced all of this. My testimony and love for Jesus Christ has grown alongside of all of the many people that I was able to teach here. I have loved seeing my own growth, and even more so, the growth of the people that I love here in Taiwan. It will be sad to leave them all, but I know it will be like the sons of Mosiah and Alma, as we all remain
