Ok, I hate this internet cafe. There are so many cockroaches in here. I've squashed a few with my shoe, and several more have crawled over my keyboard. Oh, those are the big ones. The little ones are everywhere too. Despite the horrible cockroaches, we had a pretty cool week. We are finally starting to get some super awesome investigators, and I want to share two of their stories.
First one is named Emma. We met her in the pouring rain, and she actually stopped to talk with us for a while. We got to meet with her again, and found out she really loves Christ and wants to follow him so bad. She has a friend in another ward, and somehow got a hold of a Gospel Principles book and has already read halfway through it. After our first time meeting, she stopped smoking. She still hasn't smoked another cigarette, and often times avoids going home so she doesn't slip up. She told us during the Plan of Salvation that she wanted to hear every single commandment, so we just taught all the commandments as well. She is so amazing!
careful, the gap between train cars is 'gibbous'. What is the point of writing English if half the people speaking English don't even know what that means???!!!???

The second one is named Xuan Liang. We were eating lunch for about US$1.75, and as we were walking out the door my companion, Elder Humphries, said he needed to listen to the Holy Ghost and talk to the guy sitting behind us. So we did, and of course he was willing to talk to us and of course it was one of his days off so he could come and sit down at a FamilyMart and hear a message. He used to be part of a Christian church, but had some differences of opinion and so he left. One of which was that he thought we should pray to Heavenly Father in Christ's name, not to Christ. What do you know? He was amazing to talk to, and really receptive to our message. He even accepted the invitation to baptism.
These are such amazing people! I am so excited to be here in Taiwan (minus the cockroaches and the ever rising temperatures) serving these people. Transfers are this week, so we will see what happens the next transfer. I love you guys!!!!
