Typhoon 🌧

大家好! Welcome back to another week in the missionary life of Sister Jensen! As for the email title, don't let it be of concern :) it didn't hit Taiwan directly so we could still leave the apartment, just had really heavy wind and rain for about 3 days. Biking in a typhoon is not all it's cracked up to be. I love showing up to church soaking wet as much as the next person... but there's better ways to go. 

Anyway, this past week wasn't overly eventful. Tuesday we had district council, Wednesday we had a holiday themed English Group (in my defense I just really really want it to be Christmas), and Thursday was boring. Friday we helped a lady in our ward who was moving, which was good! We also had to buy extra food for the oncoming typhoon. 

Saturday, we helped a different lady in our ward who is moving, and we also had a phone call lesson with one of our potentials and make her a new person!!! We also had a lesson with someone I found on Facebook, but it turns out he is already a member and in contact already with missionaries in his area which is extremely awkward haha. It was good though! Sunday a friend we met on Facebook came to church and we made her a new person!! We have been in a bit of a finding drought lately, so it's been good to have this success! 

Today we went hiking at Monkey Mountain. It was super fun and pretty! We unfortunately didn't see any monkeys, but that's all right. I guess. It was super pretty! 

Spiritual thought for the week: Lately I have been nearing the end of the book Jesus the Christ. Fantastic book. Highly recommend. Towards the end one of the greatest points of emphasis is how the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and every point and piece of doctrine therein, has been restored to the earth. It clearly describes how and when each branch of the priesthood of God was restored, as well as the keys to direct each part. To me it clearly emphasizes that this is the RESTORED CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST. It is not Joseph Smith's church, or anyone else's. This is the church of God. A perfect and organized God, who took care to make sure that everything done in the church was done according to His authority and according to His will. Because He cares about His church and about His people. He wants to give us our best chance at success. 

Hope you have a fantastic week! Thanks for those who actually read this, you're champs! 我愛你們！
