Tou Fen # 14

Hello wonderful, beautiful, amazing family! This week was a great week here in Toufen. We had many incredible miracles. First, Huang Dx. The sisters gave him to us as a referral in the hospital. We were going to finding but we really felt like we should go visit him. We went got to know him, found out that he has been in the hospital for about a month and not any of his family members have come to see him. He is such a happy man and just has such a great spirit about him. We shared the Restoration with him and he really loved it. We set a baptismal date for next month and set up a time later this week. The other is Chen Dx. We were on our way to an appointment with the Weng Family when I saw him... He was on my side of the road and was going in the opposite direction. I just said I to him and then he responded back. I asked him if we could talk to him for a minute. We didn't have much time but we found out that he had read the Bible and he also had some other interesting experiences that lead him to believe in God. We had to go but we set up a time with him later in the day. He actually came. He talked alot... and I'll be honest... I couldn't completely understand everything he was saying, but from the very moment I saw him. I could feel that he would be a great instrument in God's work here in Toufen. I felt really good about him. He accepted the baptismal date, but still hasn't set a date. He came to church too! The other cool on was it was Thursday night. All of our appointments had fallen through, and we were going over to the park to contact and find when a guy on a motorcycle rode by me. As he was riding by me, I yelled, "HELLO" (We're going like 20 MPH). Then he looks at me and says hi back. I asked him if he could pull over so we could talk to him and he did! He spoke a little English so we talked to him and he had some questions to ask us and then we shared the first lesson with him. It's going to take some work to get him to baptism but he said we could meet with him again and share. This week has been such a blessing and I think it's because my companion and I have been really trying to look for miracle and and praying for them too. It's been awesome. I've been feeling much pain and sorrow for our two LAs who have been working on quiting their addictions. Huang Dx fanged us alot and got back into drinking again. Qiu Dx is still not making progress and came to church this Sunday and said he would stay for the whole time but left about half way through Sacrament. I have found alot of comfort in studying mercy and grace. And I realized that I can let that play a little bit bigger role in my life... and then through the Spirit, I can help them come unto Christ and feel of his love and from that love, grace and mercy receive strength to overcome the natural man. Make their weaknesses strengths. (Ether 12:27) I love this work with all of my heart and everything that is in me. There is so much to learn and so little time to learn it. Today I'm going to Taipei to do some things up there with a member and grab some stuff at the distribution center for our investigators. I'm absolutely loving it here are I love you. I am going to set some goals to make my letters more fun so... haha expect some more fun stuff next week. Love, Jordan

PRESIDENT'S EMAIL: Miracles:　Last week was great. The Lord answered my prayers and blessed us with finding this week. We were blessed in Toufen with many miracles and I would like to tell you about the two that came our new investigators. First, Huang Dx. The sisters gave him to us as a referral in the hospital. We were going to finding but we really felt like we should go visit him. We went got to know him, found out that he has been in the hospital for about a month and not any of his family members have come to see him. He is such a happy man and just has such a great spirit about him. We shared the Restoration with him and he really loved it. We set a baptismal date for next month and set up a time later this week. I feel like it's been really good for Elder Broeder because ever since that visit he has been comparably diligent. The other in Chen Dx. We were on our way to an appointment with the Weng Family when I saw him... He was on my side of the road and was going in the opposite direction. I just said I to him and then he responded back. I asked him if we could talk to him for a minute. We didn't have much time but we found out that he had read the Bible and he also had some other interesting experiences that lead him to believe in God. We had to go but we set up a time with him later in the day. He actually came. He talked alot... and I'll be honest... I couldn't completely understand everything he was saying, but from the very moment I saw him. I could feel that he would be a great instrument in God's work here in Toufen. I felt really good about him. He accepted the baptismal date, but still hasn't set a date. He came to church too! Many more, but I am so grateful to the Lord for the miracles and blessings this week. Studies: I've been feeling much pain and sorrow for our two LAs who have been working on quiting their addictions. Huang Dx fanged us alot and got back into drinking again. Qiu Dx is still not making progress and came to church this Sunday and said he would stay for the whole time but left about half way through Sacrament. I have found alot of comfort in studying mercy and grace. And I realized that I can let that play a little bit bigger role in my life... and then through the Spirit, I can help them come unto Christ and feel of his love and from that love, grace and mercy receive strength to overcome the natural man. Make their weaknesses strengths. (Ether 12:27) Companionship Relationship: Great. We're still getting to know each other but he really seems to be improving with his attitude to the work and his diligence. I'm still praying for Charity and striving to love him. Personal Development: I'm doing great and I feel like I'm getting more and more lost in the work. Anything Else Important: Thank you for your words of encouragement and reminding me not to get into a habit of finding... like one thing to find. Elder Broeder and I will discuss that and make plans to make our finding more effective and fun!
