This beautiful woman is 100 years old!
This week we were in MLC (mission learning center) and I think I've mentioned that I have a weird love for wearing people's glasses. So I took Sis Cullen's glasses and looked at the computer screen and MY LIFE WAS INSTANTLY CHANGED. I could see it so clearly and it felt like I had been transported to Narnia. Like I sort of malfunctioned for a second and thought about my whooole life and if I had always been seeing that way and WHEW who woulda known?! Hahah it's only a lil bit fuzzy so I'm getting prescription 100 glasses (? - I do not know how to write glasses lingo terms in English) I'll be getting some Asian style frames today and I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't super giddy about it. I'll take any reason to buy Asian glasses. I feel like this is kinda like when I was young and really wanted braces haha okay anyway...
The past week was absolutely wonderful and serving with Sister Cullen in TaoYuan has been one of the greatest experiences of my entire mission. We get along great and got right to work. Already we have met a lot of people who want to understand Jesus Christ and His role in their lives!
Fav miracle round up:
1. Last pday we prayed for an opportunity to meet someone who would be prepared and on our way to bowling we met the one and only MOIRA! That's her English name and she told us it means fate or destiny. How ironic because it proved another miracle as we met with her a few days later and she opened up and told us, "I have a lot of anger I am holding in my heart and I just want to love people better." She set her baptismal date for May 6 but she lives in another area so will be meeting with missionaries there. The grace of God has been a really big theme this week<3
2. A woman we met at a stop light gave us corn and set up an appointment for a lesson with us this week.
3. We were studying outside one afternoon and a woman with a baby came up to us and asked about what we teach. We told her we share a message about family and would love to share it with her sometime. She said, "Well do you have time right now?" Sister Cullen and I just stared at her for a moment and then looked at each other and were teaching her at her house 5 minutes later sharing the good word. #wut !!
4. We had a 17 year old RC (recent convert) bring her sister and two friends to church yesterday!
5. We found a family to teach on my year mark, March 30th! Also on my year mark (get ready you will love this) we were biking to visit an LA (less active) and we were stopped at a light. Right on the side of the road was a pineapple truck and a dad & his cute 3 year old daughter buying pineapple. He told us he knew a missionary and actually meets with that Elder in a different area and then he bought us a pineapple! Best gift ever:') so emotional haha
Well we are off to a park with our ward members to play sports and picnic so we gotta go!
I love this work and I love the gospel. I have so much gratitude for the grace of God and for the chance to become more every day.
