We got a call on Friday, I believe, informing us that my visa had been approved! All of the visa waiters are finally going to Taiwan!!! The mission is working out the travel arrangements as we speak and they are going to have us in Taiwan by the 25th, which is their next transfer day. My guess is that they will have us leave either the 23rd or the 24th, because of the time difference and layovers and stuff. But yeah, this is happening.
But aside from that little piece of news, this week has been pretty fun.
So, yesterday, we helped the native family clean up their garage and their yard and stuff for a while. And then we helped them move a hot tub into their backyard. Believe me when I say, you don't know heavy lifting until you have to get six people to carry a hot tub. Ridiculous. But it was fun.
We had a Young Single Adult lesson yesterday before their FHE activity. It was a cool lesson about the "Prayer of Faith" and what it means to have meaningful prayer. That has been a big focus in our mission recently, praying with faith. It has been cool to see the change in my personal prayer as I have applied the things I learned.
After the lesson, we joined the group for their FHE activity, which was volleyball! Normally, we wouldn't stay for an activity like that, but there were nonmembers there that we had the opportunity to connect with. So we stayed, played volleyball, and fulfilled our purpose.
We have been teaching this guy still. He is doing pretty good, but he just doesn't seem very determined to learn more. Well, after a lesson earlier this week, his fiance's dad, a member, came out and told us that he told G. that he had to take the missionary discussions and read the Book of Mormon to be able to marry his daughter. So, he may just be doing it to marry the girl, but tonight we are going to teach about Eternal Marriage and really see if he wants to make these changes. Gonna be a fun lesson, for sure.
Anyways, aside from that stuff, not much has gone on this week, pretty average I guess. But I look forward to hearing from you guys, and wish me luck in Taiwan!
Sincerely, Your Son, Brother, friend,
