Moving Away

Hey everyone!
I am going to admit to you that i am a little sad to be leaving my promised land, but I am glad that there is going to be a new elder trained there by my wonderful companion Elder Visser. Apparently, we did so well that they are bringing another set of missionaries in the area. I am so excited to see Danshui in full glory!

Food this week was fairly dull, so not much to report.

As i prepared to leave this week, my ward members were all so sad. It was really sad to say goodby to them. There were several who were straight up crying as I bore my testimony. However, I am so glad that my people are doing well. We managed to get a massive amout of investigators to church, many of whom I think will certainly get baptized.

I am now in Xin1Zhu2. It is a little ways farther away than Danshui. It's about two hours from our office. I am pretty excited to be working here though. It's insanely hot, but the Lord always tries us before the miracle. I honestly can't say that i will miss the hills in danshui though, even if it means that my buns aren't going to look so good in a little while. Maybe I'll start doing squats to keep it up.

Hmmm....We had an amazing miracle this week in getting Sylvie, one of our investigators to church. She's been putting it off because she thinks that she'll cry if she comes to church and then she'll feel really embarassed. I told her that it'd be fine and that I was going to leave so she should come. So she did. She had a great experience and now we just need to keep her coming. We also got a couple of girls, Zheng and Fan, to come to church. THey are great, getting answers to prayers and have a huge desire to learn. The Lord has really blessed us with miracles.

I love you all! Thanks for all the letters and support!
Love,
Elder Siebert
