Hey everyone!
This week brings hot weather and cold weather and then hot and cold. It's either a Katy Perry song (heaven forbid, that woman is the devil on hormones) or as my mother says, the PMS days of Taiwan.
Food: Thai Sweet and Spicy Soup: This is a pretty okay dish. I tried it out this week because I thought that it would be a refreshing way to stave off the cold. I was right, but the soup gives you a rancid aftertaste in the mouth. 2.5 rank reminiscees out of 5.
Verbatim:
So why do you want to meet with missionaries?
I saw a movie that said you could a lot of wives!!!!!!!
We can't.
Oh, Fine. I'll be muslim then, they can have a lot of wives. --guy on the street
Oh shoot! I would've taught that part better, but I forgot the scripture that I was going to use and on it was my little cheat sheet! --Sister Wu after teaching me for Phase 1. She is a shameless cheater and always puts stick notes with words and phrases in her scriptures and other materials as she teaches me. She's a hoot.
Are you sure Jimmy won't stand us up? (10 minutes pass) JIMMY!!!!!!!!---me on Elder Chen's (the ZL) insistence that their investigator Jimmy wouldn't stand us up. He then stood us up.
JIMMY!!!!!!--me anytime something bad happens. I don't think that my companion understands.
But getting too close to God isn't too good, then you can't do anything bad.--Brother Zhang, our investigator about getting nearer to God through prayer
The terminator:
There's this crazy guy, A1 Nuo4 who follows us around these days. It all started a couple weeks ago when I mistakenly talked to him and then he began showing up everywhere and riding his bike after us. I actually started to tell him off recenlty, so he doesn't bug me, but he'll always come up to Elder Chen and just say, "Elder Chen, Elder Chen, Elder CHen." I told my companion not to talk to him as this will eventually cause him to leave, so my companion says nothing. It's really rather humorous. We ran into him at the store the other day and just had to give him the cold shoulder. I felt bad, but it's what needs to be done. We always joke about how we'll just find him outside our door one day or when we turn down a dark alley I'll always say, "A NUO!" and act terrified. Haha.
We saw a lot of miracles this week. One of the coolest ones was Brother Zhang who was someone that I talked to on the street. He was handing out realestate fliers and stuff when I met him but I just kept talking to him and sharing about the BOM and he was willing to listen. You could tell that he was still trying to do his job, but he was really distracted and interested in what I was sharing. He finally broke down and listened for a while and then set up a time for sunday morning. We got a new rule from our President that we don't have to do full studies on Sunday, so we were able to meet with him super early and all. He has tons of great questions and as we shared with him he was really intent on learning and meeting more with us. He is a really fun guy. He was just a hoot and his questions were breeding new questions like bunnies.
We also had a great miracle with a new investigator, a Brother Yang. He has long hair and looks like a punk, but I had the feeling that I needed to talk to him. I set him up and then he came. He really wants to know God and is willing to do pretty much everything that we ask. It was so cool that God led us to find him on a lonely street where he was the only person walking. Such a good man.
I know there are miracles,
Love,
Elder Siebert
