So we get a Pigeon 10/16

My companion and I were seriously planning one night (opposed to other non-serious nights haha) and I asked how we were gonna accomplish our goals, and my companion turns to me and goes "so, we get a pigeon" and I just start laughing. Our new goal now is to find a pigeon.

Word of the week: pigeon= gezi
Short version: My companion likes to tell puns
Long version: "what holds up the sun?" -"sunbeams!"
Our favorite pun: "that's intense!" you know what else is intense? my dad he likes to go camping.

Miracle of the week:

The power of kindness!

Luo DX was baptized right before I came to Hualian, and he is an amazing example of faith- he quit smoking in 2 days, going from 30 to 2 in 1 day. However, his wife has very much so protested. She has been cold to missionaries when they tried to talk to her, and has sent not the best text messages to us about many anti-mormon doctrine. A lot of people said she was a fireball... and child of Satan. But one day she came to church, and it was the first time meeting her, and I fell in love with her. I think that was the first time I felt true Christ-like love. I had no reason to love her, I just looked at her and knew she was a child of God, and that she was loved.

We then proceeded to visit her tea shop, baked her banana bread, and just friends with her. We talked with her, laughed with her, and last week, she invited us over for dinner－made it her self, and can I just say taiwanese food is WOW. THAT was a miracle. I mean the fact she invited us over haha... the food was a miracle too though. I know one day her family will be eternal. :)

 Serve those that are your enemies- they will become your friends :)

Love you all! keep safe and keep pressing forward!
