Super Week...
Hello everyone!
This is Elder Stevens from the nice tropics
of GaoXiong, Taiwan. I'm sorry to hear that everyone is super cold back in the
Eastern States, but if you are ever cold, just try to think of the nice beach
temperatures that I'm enjoying basically every single day over here! :) I have
noticed that it's starting to get a little colder in the day, but that's a
relief because we don't sweat as much anymore haha.
This week has been pretty much the usual. We had fun with
some tracting and lots of contacting haha. We also met with one of our English
Class students. (English class is the best! Recently, all of our solid
investigators are from English Class!!) and he's pretty cool. His name is K....
We called him up one night and tried to set up a time to
meet, but he said he was too busy for the next few days, but that he could come
to church. Then one night he just randomly
showed up at the church while we were making some calls, and we just taught him
a lesson. It was really hard to stay on topic of what we wanted to share because he has so many questions! He really likes coming to church and really
wants to come closer to God because he's had many experiences that give him a
feeling that there is something more out there than what science proves at the
moment. Which is really cool because he's a chemical engineer and all about
science. He also said we could come to his house the next day and teach him
again. We biked about 40 minutes to his house and barely found it in the dark
haha. In his house he said he had a "secret base" and at first I was a little
nervous about what that meant, but we just follow him out back to a really nice
little garden and pond that he had created in his backyard. He lives in a
really sketchy area next to a factory so it's not really a pretty location. But
the place he made had ferns growing up the sides of the walls next to him so
you couldn't tell it was a building and he had fancy lights and stuff. It was
as if we were out in the middle of the forest. It was super cool. We talked
back there and shared more about the Book of Mormon. it was a super cool place
to teach a lesson.
On sunday, both K... and another one of our friends from
English class, A..., came to church. I think they both had a good time. They
both have lots to learn and some changes to be made, but they are both awesome
and I hope that they can continue to progress.
One of my good friends Elder Rock (from back in Tainan) is
in the same zone as me now, so in a few minutes we are going to go visit some
fun places in Gaoxiong. It's super cool to see him again.
Well I love all of you!! I hope you have a great week!
Love
Elder Stevens
