This week was so full of crazy events!!! Biggest thing that happened, we got famous!! Background story, 2 weeks ago our district went to Taipei 101 to go shopping (because why would you go anywhere else but the nicest place to shop in Taiwan). Anyways, we were heading to go home when an Elder heard a blind woman ask for help, so we stopped and helped her to find the front of Taipei 101, took a picture of her, and then took a picture with her. Just doing what you do. Always looking for opportunities to help others.  Anyways, on Friday we wake up to several messages that say we are on YouTube haha. Turns out the girl who was blind was pretending, and her YouTube friends were doing a social experiment and filming her! So now we're all over YouTube and members and missionaries all over Taiwan know haha. I've gotten messages from members in all my areas and it got shared on a Taiwanese News company's Facebook page. As of last night their video had over 350,000 views and we'...

端午節快樂!! Happy Dragon Boat festival!  This week was AMAZING. We saw so many incredible miracles that I am so excited to share!  At the beginning of the week Sister Wells and I decided to set some super solid goals that we would pray for every time we said a prayer. They were: 1. To be blessed with the gift of tongues 2. To always have the Spirit with us 3. To be able to have more faith 4. To be able to overcome temptation and be more obedient missionaries 5. To find 4 new investigators  We were really diligent about praying for and accomplishing these goals, and guess what? We did! We should have been more specific in our new investigator goal though, because every new investigator we found is a man haha. In our mission the sisters teach women and the elders teach men, so we are going to pass them off next week to the elders. This week our goal is to pray for female investigators and families haha.  Cool miracle story from last week!! On Saturday we still needed 1 ne...

大家好ㄠㄠㄠㄠ (Hello everyone) This week was great!! We had a lot of cool things happened, especially yesterday!!  First off, a quick funny story that happened yesterday. We were eating dinner with a bunch of members and for some reason we started talking about sports, and one of them members asked if I played any sports. I said yes, I play volleyball. Then she looked back at me and was like, are you sure you weren't the cheerleader or did you actually play volleyball? It was like the worst thing ever hahaha. It was so funny but also incredibly awkward because she was like you're so nice, so pretty you can be a cheerleader! But like, I'm not down for that hahaha. The Elders won't ever let me forget that one lol. Another thing that happened yesterday was we went to a Fireside!!! It was super great and it was President's last fireside before he goes home. We were able to bring our investigator Connie, and she really enjoyed it!! On the bus home she asked us a lot of quest...
