LATE TO CONFERENCE! BUT MIRACLE ANYWAY! October 20

This weekend we had stake conference. It was all about hastening the work. I didn't understand any of it. BUT my companion told me what it was about. Haha good old language issues. But it was all about missionaries and members coming together to do this work. But funny story. So we were invited to the adult session saturday night, which never happens. But because it was about missionary work we got to go. And so six of us missionaries from my district went together because it was in Taoyuan. So we took the train and we left really early to make sure we got there early to leave a good impression. So we get off the train. We take a bus where the driver said it would go to the carrefour which was by the chapel. So we are going and going. Then all of a sudden we realize, WE ARE IN NEILI. It took us to the wrong carrefour in a completely different city!!!! So we only had fifteen minutes to get there! We went to the train station again. The next train wasn't coming until 7:18. The conference started at 7:00. So we were really stressed because it was going to look really bad for six missionaries to walk in late. So we were at the train station and me and my companion started talking to this couple. They were so awesome and we ended up having a lesson with them right there! So there are miracles even in a stressful situation(: But we ended up being 45 minutes late to the meeting. So awkward we felt so bad! But it's okay. We had a miracle that night and it's pretty funny now(:

 

So this week was a good week. We found 5 new investigators! The thing about finding investigators here is that you have to find A LOT because if we don't then we won't have any. We find a lot and then a whole lot of those drop off and don't really want to meet with us anymore. So we are really hoping these ones stick. Last night was really cool. We got to meet with one of our members Feng JM. At the end she was talking about trials and how she is just having a hard time. So we used the footsteps in the sand poem (don't worry they haven't ever heard it here). And we told her that sometimes we don't feel like God is there and we don't feel his love, but in reality he was carrying us all along. We will be able to look back and see that he carried us through that trial. She started to cry and we just told her how much God loves her and how much we love her as well. It was really cool to see her feel of that love! I can tell it is exactly what she needed and ah! I just love her so much. I love the people here. So much!
