This is a picture of our zone at an activity we had where we all shared stories of how the Book of Mormon has blessed us and the lives of our investigators. I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. It truly contains the words of prophets who act as the Lord's mouthpiece. I am always so touched by the unfailing diligence and faithfulness of the writers of the Book of Mormon even when everyone else around them was not choosing the right. We can and should follow God no matter what those around us are doing. As God is the anchor of our lives, we too can be stand strong in a world of turmoil. I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God because I have read it, and I have prayed to know. I have had the Spirit confirm time and time again that this book is true. I invite you all to read the Book of Mormon every day and to invite those around you to read it. It truly does have incredible power.
We did a lot of contacting this week up by the college in our area. It was fun to be up there. One day we had gotten lunch and were eating it at a 7-11 up by the college. Taiwan is the king of takeout, everything is takeout and they have all these great ways of packaging takeout. Sister Jarvis had gotten her soup takeout but wasn’t' quite familiar with the packaging and ended up spilling it all of the counter while I was talking to this girl next to us. The girl was interested and was willing to meet again. It was just funny because Sister Jarvis was frantically trying to clean up this soup as it flows all over the counter while also trying to not call attention to herself so that the girl will just focus on the gospel message I was sharing. It was a funny moment.
It has been a little bit hard to leave our old area and our old investigators, especially our recent convert Shu-feng, but we are trying to maintain a positive attitude. On Wednesday at English class we told Shu-feng about the change. She seemed kind of upset at first, but she and I sat down with Sister Bryce (one of the new sisters). It was just a wonderful lesson, and she was fine with it. We shared some scriptures and cried mostly out of just a joy of having seen her go through this process and her acknowledging what a blessing the gospel has been in her life since baptism. It was just a special moment in which your heart is full of more love than you thought it could hold.
