So this week my favorite mole on my neck got ripped off by my hair. It was sad, and now I just have a little red mark...:( But on the bright side, I know how to remove any further moles without having to go to a doctor, just use a hair from my head to garrote it (is that how you spell that word?).
This week was FULL OF MIRACLES! Alan Packer of the Quorom of the Seventy (Look it up if you don't know what that is.) came and gave us special training about Family History work and temples and how to talk to people more effectively about their families. Super cool. And so effective! The 2 days after that training we found 8 new investigators!! What?? Crazy!!!
Sister Anderson's birthday was this past Saturday. For her birthday we went up to that Special Training in Taipei, ate potstickers (guo tie), got Coco's (best drink shop ever and thanks Suzette for the heads up, they have it in New York!), got qinged/a less active member invited us to eat with them! We had pizza, tater tots, sandwiches, salad, coconut pudding, and cake. Pretty much I was huge. We talked about her family and about how some of her happiest times (and ours) have been with our families. It doesn't matter where we are, but when we're with our families, that is what is most important. And MIRACLE! I met a boy here who likes soccer! We talked about it half in English, half in Chinese, and his favorite team is Bayern Munich! Wowzahs! Another miracle, he wants to learn more about the gospel and invited us to come visit his family next week!
There is also this really fat dalmation dog we always pass and I named him Pongo. Partially in relation with 101 dalmations, partially because in chinese to say fat dog it is pronounced "Pong go" (pang gou). Hahahahhaha.
And last night we went out to work and we had an hour and 15 minutes before we had to go home. We brought a member to come knock doors with us and it was her first time ever. We set some really high goals to have 2 lessons, 3 new investigators, and 2 copies of the Book of Mormon out in that time. And in the first five minutes we met a family of 3 who prayed with us, took a book of mormon and want to learn more! We met another dad with 2 small children and he invited us to come back next week too! That night we met all our goals and surpassed our goal for New investigators! This week we had 8!!
And this week I said, "Good thing there is mushroom sauce at the church." First and last time that sentence was ever said ahhaha.
I love you all! I know miracles happen and that God knows and loves us!
Love,
Sister Perkins
Merry Christmas!!
